For a long time now and increasingly in the last two years I have felt a growing awareness of the interconnectedness of all things, a steady and strong unease at the state of the planet, and a growing urgency to find a way to help bring things back into balance. As a visual artist I have tried to honor these feelings through my paintings, exploring dreams, symbolism and intuitive insights, making art that tries to help other people feel the importance of being and living in harmony with the planet.

Now it seems that with each day there are more and more seemingly disparate threads converging. Here's an example; after reading a book by Sandra Ingerman, which I found after discovering the 13 Indigenous Grandmothers, found through a Bioneers weblink, I saw the film For the Next 7 Generations, I came to the film through a web search for like minded people and organizations, on the advice of a wise older woman in my life to whom I had been sharing my thoughts and feelings on these things. In my mind I have followed that winding thread again and again, and am amazed each time. Most of the people in my life do not share or understand this part of me, and for most of my life this sense of awareness and connectedness to the Earth had been dismissed as childish imagination, but now I seek to nurture and develop this further.

I am excited and amazed at how many learning resources are out there, it feels as if I am being guided and shown what I need to know.

Today I am mind walking and exploring the Mysteries through drawing, canvas, and paint.

made a sketch for a mandala painting Sunday, inspired by the new moon/eclipse in Cancer and Grand Cross. More to come as the painting progresses.

I've got mine, now you can get yours too.

For the second time I'm honored to be invited to participate in the Florence Bienale in Florence, Italy!

www.florencebiennale.org

The 8th Edition of the event will be held Dec of 2011. I really appreciate the much advanced notice, as the entry fee alone for this event is nearly $5000, not including airfare and accommodations.

Due to the steep fee I was not able to attend in Dec 2009, but I am hoping to be able to attend in 2011. From now until the June of 2011 entry deadline, 50% of the proceeds from the sale of my prints or original paintings will go toward the entry fee.
