Join me for an art show unlike any you've been to before. This Bruised Goddess painting series in my yurt art studio explores my love and longing for the feminine in a world gone awry. My work has been called Outsider Art, and I use collage elements, paint, and texture, for a wild ride into the creative soul. Evacuated from a wildfire in 2020, I felt called to collect sticks, rocks, leaves, and cones from the forest floor and use them to make markings on collage paper, so that the forest, too, had a voice.
​​
An alchemy of healing emerged as I worked. It’s my hope that this healing resonates throughout this series. Only through grappling with our bruises can we transmute them.
​​
With all of my art and in my novels, I unpack what it means to be a woman this lifetime. I honor the feminine by acknowledging our trauma, and I transmute our bruises by painting them.​
My visions mix with my personality to create much more than a simple “selfie”. My work goes beyond just the reflection of personal challenges to echo universal themes. I believe my art is the intersection where the purity of the soul meets the brutality of reality.
