Where do you go to when you are connecting with your Inspiration? When you need that fresh flow of ideas that results in a burning desire to put everything else aside and grab your brush or put the clay on the table, what was your spark?
I can get those little energetic pulses from all of the usual places; nature, reading poetry, listening to music, but my main source that it always comes down to is the Divine Feminine. Those women that came before us, the ancestors and deities, that's what lies at the heart of most of the work I create.

I connect with their stories, their history, their strength, and their passion. They are reminders to me of perseverance, creation, compassion, strength, and to embrace our own abilities to make a difference in the world.

Beyond the historical women, it breaks down in simplicity ~ The Divine Feminine. This is what creates the intricate fabric of our being, the complexities that make us complete, and the balance of strong yet gentle.
Different cultures and different religions, have a name for this presence ~ Gaia, Kuan Yin, Our Lady of Guadeloupe, Diana the Huntress,Saraswati, Mother Mary, Mother Earth, Venus of Willendorf, or Isis...the list is long.

It is within this deep connection that I draw my inspiration and use that energy to help empower others through my artwork.
