The Milky Way. A sight that has vanished from most of our skies, but was an ever present source of awe, wonder and inspiration for our ancestors. We exist in a world full of magic, just as they did. The joy of a child’s smile, a lover’s glance, a job well done, and the marvel that is life itself – these and infinite other causes for gratitude have stayed the same across the millennia. In order to see this incredible celestial light show, we have to be surrounded by the utter darkness of night. And so it goes for us too, the darkest conditions often reveal our most extraordinary light.

🌙Sliding in at the very last minute... my Moon girl 'Genevieve'. Named after my neighbor who seems a very bright light to me indeed. Painted for The Rauecenter.org fundraiser.
The Flower of Life informs this work- I wanted to work with the cycle of life, death, and rebirth that is so beautifully and relentlessly expressed in the composition and decomposition of nature.
On my radar. Many projects going at once, keeping my interest.

Finding the shapes and patterns hidden in a blank piece of paper...engaging artistically with shadow work helps to identify what it is that might need attention, awareness and care within us.
Work in Progress.
A beautiful fabulous evening.❤️❤️❤️
