Facilitator for heart-centered inquiry using painting as a tool.
At some point in our lives, we may ask what it means to be truly in our skin. As Joseph Campbell writes, “A privilege of a lifetime is being who you are.”
I see this as a rich and worthy notion to explore more than any other goal or ambition that may sprout from the desire to ‘make it’ in the world. Around 2017, after working for several years as a visual artist and communication designer, I became more inclined toward exploring the potential of process-oriented expression as a genuine path to discovering the deeper currents that inform our life experiences. I formed a renewed perspective as I sensed that the body as an image-maker offers indispensable guidance that can open doorways to restoration, authenticity, and trust. A significant part of this journey has involved years of painting and training with friend and mentor Stewart Cubley, whose pioneering approach to process arts has been an invaluable gift.
It’s a deep honor to hold space for painters and witness honest inquiry in another where we meet our shared humanity. Painting for process has allowed me to find greater resonance with poetry, the mythology that delves into the profound intricacies of the human psyche, and our experience of consciousness.
