What if your ideas aren't floating above you, waiting to be caught, but moving under the surface, like water through limestone?
My newest project traces symbolic layers beneath my silk painting practice and introduces the Subsurface Oracle, a project rooted in myth, aquifers, and creative intuition.

Part of my private collection. Some of my babies just need to stay with me for a while before I’m ready for them to leave the nest.

In May, we travelled to Moab, UT to attend the wedding of our niece. We spent a day in Arches National Park, which was wonderful. This painting was done as a gift for the bride and groom. Double Arch 11x15 #watercolor.

My current work in progress of another iris in oils with a background of 24carat gold leaf.
This is a detail shot of part of the painting showing the newly completed upper iris bloom.

Current thread of thought:

Art as ritual, essay as echo.
