Assemblage, Ritualistic Art and Visionary Paintings.
Some have called my work Metaphysical Surrealism,
I just know that Spirit moves me to create and I find inspiration
in many ways... nature, books and my own imagination.
I hope you find in here that special painting or Spirit doll
to take home and that my work might bless your days with beauty and peace.
I am offering some of my original acrylic and oil paintings in eBay,
Etsy, CafePress and ArtbyUs, please take a bit of time to make
yourself comfortable and browse through these pages.
ORIGINAL OIL AND ACRYLIC PAINTINGS FOR SALE!
*A word about Spirit Dolls and Tree People.
assemblage and soft sculpture art dolls has become an essential spiritual practice.
I love the process of sculpting with polymer clay and working with textiles,
yarn, fibers and beading creating a context where magic begins.
I've been inspired by many cultures where dolls were made symbolic of the sacred...
full of meaning and creativity...here there is an element of reverence and solitude that guides me
gently into that type of art. It is a form of meditation...a beautiful Spirit dance.
They are one of a kind dolls, wrapped with soft cotton and yarn,
supported by twigs, vines and mossy tree bark...
using polymer clay, gems, shells, herbs, charms and jewelry findings.
Some represent Angels, Spirit Guides inhabiting the forest. Others are Magical Kachina
and Fetish Dolls, helpful Kitchen Witches, Divas and Goddesses...
Icons of the Divine Feminine,
a kind of Spirit Inspired ritualistic art from many ancient traditions.
