A path to new places

Road to Brewster, 14x14x2, Acrylic on panel 2018, is the first (sold) of a series from a new path found through stillness and meditation along my life's profound journey...
It has been a while since many of you have heard from me and I hope that you all have been having a wonderful summer and enjoying the beautiful weather and colors of the season!

I just returned to the world of the living after a harrowing series of monumental life events culminating in the existentially altering loss of my only one true parent. Loosing my mother is not an experience I could have ever imagined. My very identity, my physical and emotional life shattered into a slow motion kind of oblivion of lights suspended in time...and of course my art work was sidelined...

The year before I was supporting another family member, my own life previously thrown into chaos by my own displacement and challenged even further by my station as caregiver, over-extender extraordinaire...a few months respite to throw my whole self into my volunteer life as chair of CoCA's 2017 Art Marathon & Auction Committee, a month to recover and then the 6 months of my mother's final breaths...in the Bardo state between all states...

And, I am now released from the state between life and death, and I am now presented with the opportunity to become who I will become, now as a motherless child. As an empath, I believe I entered into my mother's Bardo in order to aid in her softer transition and now, I am presented with what some Buddhists believe is a burst of new energy for my next phase of life and art to bloom.

All around us we are seeing the dead buds and seed pods as part of the natural cycle thru life to dying and back to abundance.

The photos below here are piece that I completed this past May as I gathered moments wherever I could to create my current show, Inflorescence: The complete flower head of a plant including stems, stalks, bracts, and flowers. The delicately powerful structure of the flowers on a plant. The process of flowering as a festival is a celebration of achievement.

My lifelong fascination with the flowers of weeds, like Fennel, Salsify, Aloe, Dandelion, Queen Anne’s Lace and the great big blues of our infinite skies. This show is a celebration of the success of Nature's underdogs in all of their glory, draped in jewels and webs of
golden and gems. A celebration within these hidden sanctuaries.

Part of the Inflorescence series, this piece, Capturing the Dew, 36x36x2 Acrylic on panel, 2018, is an imagining of some kind of festival lanterns floating strung up overhead against the blue heavens...

    All of my life, from my earliest memories as I child, I have felt as though I view the world through some sort of magical frame. To this day I carry that feeling, as though I can look anywhere and see beauty, see nature and objects sparking. Even in a garbage-strewn alley, I can see the poetry of the place, as a breathing image right there on the lenses of my eyes.
