Behind the Scenes

Indra’s Net – The Infinite Light Within 42" × 59" (In Process)

Artist Statement: Indra’s Net reflects the Buddhist vision of an infinite web where each luminous jewel mirrors all others and each part contains the whole. Nothing exists alone. Each of us shines with a singular light, yet our radiance is magnified through reflection. We are shaped by one another; our choices ripple outward beyond what we see. To look into one jewel is to glimpse the whole - an endless, luminous field of shared being and mutual illumination.

My challenge has been to try to create luminosity and glow with the gems. I think I need to add more paints around the gems. I don’t think that adding beading will really achieve my desired affect from distance viewing.

Would love your thoughts and suggestions.

Workshop - Luminous Layers: An Introduction to Silk Fusion

To me, there is nothing more tactile, luscious and sensual as working with silk fiber!

Join in this hands-on workshop in my home studio where you’ll explore the beauty of texture, translucence, and layered fiber. You’ll create several silk fusion pieces using a variety of techniques. You will also experiment with mark-making and painting on this paper/fabric. Believe me, it will be chalk full of activity and ideas! This class is designed for experimentation, discovery, and the simple pleasure of watching luscious fibers come together in luminous new ways. All materials are provided, and space will be very limited.

Art, Archetype & Ancient Wisdom

The Mystic archetype is drawn to what is ultimate, invisible, and true. At its core is a longing to know the self so deeply that the self no longer obstructs the sacred. The Mystic lives reflectively, often with a natural capacity to hold sacred space, listen beneath the surface, and surrender to something greater than personal will. In the light, this archetype is marked by devotion, humility, and a willingness to love without precondition or recognition. Like the great mystics across time—Hildegard of Bingen, Teresa of Ávila, John of the Cross, Rumi, Julian of Norwich—the Mystic is not merely interested in spiritual ideas, but in direct encounter, inner transformation, and union with the Divine.

Yet the shadow of the Mystic is often misunderstood. Many are drawn to this archetype because it seems luminous, serene, and spiritually elevated, but the true mystical path is rarely easy. It is often an arduous passage through inner turmoil, surrender, silence, uncertainty, and the stripping away of ego. The shadow can feel like living in a thick mist—shrouded, struggling, suffering, and unable to find clear footing—while still being asked to remain open. The Mystic’s grace is not superficial peace; it is hard-won. This is the path of surrender, and surrender asks everything.
