I
was born in Richmond Indiana, and grew up in the Boston area. As
a precocious and inquiring young adult I spent several years traveling
in the U.S., Mexico, and the Caribbean, painting, sailing and
absorbing other cultures. I earned a BA from Vermont
College,
with a concentration in painting. Three
decades of art, including
paintings, works on paper, and public art, reflects my career-long
meditation on the reconciliation between heaven and earth. Ivan C. Karp, art
dealer, at O.K. Harris Gallery NYC, recently said about my
paintings, "singular and fully-accomplished."
I teach and practice Kundalini Yoga, which uses ancient sounds
and resonance. I also enjoy making and recording music, cooking,
laughing, dream-work, and gardening. These life practices deeply
inspire me and are all necessary for my work, and make-up the
never-ending process of creating art that resonates with the most sacred
aspects of my being.
I believe in
reconciling art, environment, meditation, place, and collaboration.
I've had the opportunity to create transformational events and
installations for peace in NYC, and throughout New England. My
work has culminated as private exhibitions of paintings and
public site-specific installations in museums, galleries, civic, and
government spaces - both indoors and out.
The universe is unfolding in its cosmic mystery, passionate,
sexy, and awesome, and I believe we are counting on the wordless
to comfort and inspire us. My path is as an artist, and I am
happiest when I am looking, responding, and making beauty to
share with all.
