Spirits & Things
This is a painting that I did of Blue Woman. Blue Woman is a Spirit that protects a special place within the Big Dipper. When we die, she decides if we learned our lessons and can move on. If she decides that we didn't, she sends us back to try again. If she allows us to move on, we pass through this place within the Big Dipper, travel along the Milky Way to a place in the Southwest skies.

A Prayer For Balance; A Prayer For Peace - The idea for this painting came to me while I was simply doodling. I was drawing abstract designs when she suddenly came through. It shocked me. As a person who has been adopted into the Lakota Tribe I thought I would never paint this because of the Pipe...because it was lit. However, whenever I would start to draw something else, she would come through. There are a number of elements in this painting that will speak to many people. I watch the news and every night I cry at what I see...the fires in Australia, the Polar Bears losing their habitat, children vanishing or worse, how we treat one another, and how we treat our world. It is time to dream something much better than this in...it is time to think of "We" instead of the "I" and bring balance and peace back to this place we call home. The original unframed costs $775 and is on 22X30 Arches Paper. It is a mixed media piece.

Spirit Eyes - This is a painting I did that was purely emotional. I did this painting for the Telluride AIDS Benefit, and I kept thinking about one friend of mine that past away from AIDS. He was so strong and unwavering in his belief that Spirit was waiting on the other side for him....This painting sold.

Chaco's Heart - There is an area in Chaco Canyon where the adobe walls of a long ago home flow like a shawl worn by a loving Spirit. I was always taught that there are Spirits that protect certain areas within our world...they watch over them, and they are often the places that we become drawn to and want to protect as well. When I saw how these adobe walls flowed, I felt and saw this loving, female Spirit wrapping her arms around the entire canyon. This is mixed media, oil pastel and acrylic on Arches Paper. This painting is being shown at the Cat's Lair Gallery in Moab, UT.

Maka Ina - This is Lakota for Mother Earth. I received this image the day after my cat died and I found out my friends lost their homes in the California Wildfires this past fall. I just hurt, and I pulled out my sketchpad, and she slowly evolved. With each stroke, I felt supported and better....The original sold.

Wounded Knee to Baghdad - The Lakota say that when we pass away, Blue Woman is standing at the Big Dipper. She decides if we can pass through or if we have to come back and live another life. If we pass through, the Ancient Ones travel on the Milky Way to some location over the Southwest. Living in the Southwest and seeing the Milky Way ever night overhead, I always think of them on their journey. One night I saw this image, and was asked, "When will we make a different choice?" Unframed is $775 and it is mixed media on 22X30 Arches Paper.

This is a painting I did throughout the spring and the first part of July while watching my flowers begin to blossom...the hummers and butterflies fluttering around my special garden. They say that there is a garden fairy in every garden, and I imagined her surrounded within all of the flowers peering out to see if we are really stopping to smell the roses so to speak. Unframed, this original 18X24 is $500, and is mixed media on Arches Paper. This is mixed media on Arches paper.

Waterfall Nymph - We often drive through Gateway, Colorado. It is a beautiful area...steep red rock cliffs cut by the Dolores River. There is a sacred spring that we usually gather our drinking water at, and I heard many stories of a waterfall that visits once a year. However, in my fifteen years of traveling through there, I never saw it. Finally, this past February, she appeared for one glorious week. I stood next to it, letting it spray its beautiful waters upon me, and I swear I caught a glympse of the waterfall nymph dancing in joy as the waters fell. This is an acrylic painting on canvas and is 12X36 inches. The painting is being shown in the Cat's Lair Gallery in Moab, UT.

Goddess of the Dreaming Cave - There is an old story about a Spirit that protects the Dreaming Cave. It holds all of the dreams that will create a better world and take us into the Fifth World of Peace. She protects it to make sure that when we go within the cave to bring one of those dreams to life, that we are doing it for the good of all and not just ourselves. This is an acrylic painting on a 16X20 canvas, which is mounted on board and is framed. Framed cost is $475, and unframed is $450.

I lost a child when I was 3 and a half months pregnant. I was never able to have children again. As I watch some of my friends lose their children, I kept dreaming of this Spirit...the Mother of Heart...She is with us all as we suffer the loss of loved ones trying to support us and help us during this difficult time...She is a great and loving comfort, yet faceless and She belongs to us all...not just humans....The original is a mixed media piece on 16X20 canvas and is $450.

Anasazi Series
These are the first in a number of paintings that I hope to do that are inspired by the local Anasazi Pueblos.
Dreaming A New Dream - I created this painting after going to an Anasazi Pueblo. I was watching the news the day after, and was so depressed by everything that I saw. I remember what my Hopi friend told me about climbing the ladder into the 5th world of peace. I kept seeing this ladder going into the sky and thinking, "It is time to dream a new dream." This won three first place awards.

Dreaming of the Sacred Hoop- This is a continuation of the Dream A New Dream Painting. I have been told and heard many times how the Sacred Hoop broke the day of Wounded Knee. Indeed that day caused a huge shift in the way that we spiritually related to the world and to the Earth Mother. During Ceremony something was whispered into my ear while watching the Sundance....that the Sacred Hoop was never broken, just forgotten about or walked away from out of fear in order to survive. It is still there, we just need to dream it back in.The original is not for sale at this time.

And The Sacred Fire Still Burns - Whenever I go to an Anasazi Pueblo, I can still feel the Sacred Fires that were once burned there...all of the prayers that were once uttered...the dancing, the drumming. They are still alive to me, so I never call them ruins. To me they are Pueblos that were left there for all of us to reconnect with the Powers That Be. The original is 18X24 on arches paper and sells for $500 unframed. It is mixed media.
