Alchemists chose salamanders to symbolize fire, but endangered Texas salamanders are actually water creatures vulnerable to the toxins their thin skin absorbs. Sometimes the most magical thing is sensitivity, not invulnerability.

The painting porch. Four watercolor pads. A summer of podcasts and no Wi-Fi.
My new blog post, Finding a Guru, is about unexpected mentorship and what emerges when you let creativity lead.

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.

Current thread of thought:

15 silk banners, hand-painted. Each with its own essay.

Painting as listening, through aquifers, endangered habitats, and underground mythologies.

I'm tracing the surface as a site of crossing.

Art as ritual, essay as echo.

I’m getting ready to visit colleagues in Tokyo, Kanazawa and Kyoto. Little gifts are always appreciated, so I painted moon motifs on silk to wrap these little vegetable chopstick rests I bought from Wing on Wo and Co. #furoshiki #moonart #silkpainting #batik #textiles
