You as a person must do your thinking, learning and development of a system you can live by. For me, it is a system of how I relate to nature. And, in turn, how this thinking translates into who I am and how I think and create as an artist.
It’s hard work and many would rather not do the work, but you cannot be you until you do.
The way you think, learn, and develop should be yours and yours alone.
Watching two
birds soar
within the energy of an
air current.
Their movement is
wonderful, delightful,
so glorious. And
the beauty of it all
is that their
movement leaves
no trace.

blue as the sky
tiny lapis ribbon
tied around her neck
inspires her, gives her courage,
magnifies her creativity
awakens her senses
gives her peace
I love to look into a geode that has been cracked and opened and look into its beautiful center of glory, its hidden crystal gemstones. You know we are all like a geode. We have a center of glory that are our hidden gemstones.
Always allow others to see your magnificent gleaming crystals. And let them tell your story.
This painting “From the Earth,” is of a cliff wall of quartz, solid quartz in northern Canada. It is all about the wonderful. The earth is filled with so many magnificent layers. This work is about the layer of quartz and its crystals and crystal formations that rose to the top layer. I felt so special to be able to touch it and walk on it. Behind this beautiful wall was a field of wild, edible mushroom-colored gooseberries. The solid quartz wall and the field of delicate squish-able berries historically tell a story of time and what we have all done and felt now and in the past that tell our story and the story of the earth and change.

“touch the earth
and plant your heart
into what comforts you” CEA
loving the earth, ground,
water, sky, sun
is my yes, yes, yes
