Primordial Monoliths: Personal Icons
The cellular make-up in each of my Monoliths -- all the little cells, threads, and structures as I imagine them in our earliest stage of biological human development -- is the primordial aspect of my art's overall imagery. Blending that with the density of a large, single shape, the imagery as a whole becomes a steadfast, almost immoveable, personal pillar -- or, a monolith -- for our lives. The two concepts conjoin into a symbol of strength and empowerment, healing and repair, and resilience and survival on life's journey of emotionality. I hope that ultimately both the shape & interior details of each Primordial Monolith convey that we are eternal beings.

Home is Where the Cells Are
These pieces are inspired by the idea that everywhere we go we leave behind some of our cells. And, in our home we leave the most cells of all. They are everywhere in the environment where we spend the most time. This artwork is also inspired by the idea that wallpaper is a common decoration in homes. When I was little, I used to sit on our stairs, enamored with the beautiful wallpaper there, and use my finger to outline the flocked wallpaper designs my mom had picked to decorate our home. My fingerprints — and therefore my cells — were all over that wallpaper! I remember it fondly and that is what has driven this little series of mixed media drawings on wallpaper samples.

Cellular Floral Mandalas
My dad always used to say that wherever you go, you must plant a few flowers. He said this because flowers bring joy and positive uplift and because they ignite so many positive dispositions inside us. A mandala, which simply means “circle,” presents a series of symbols arranged with symmetry and balance within a circle which is within a square. Many cultures use them as a meditative tool. My imperfect, lop-sided but generally roundish “floral mandalas” are perhaps an intuitive metaphor for the imperfections of life. I hope this combination of flower and mandala brings joy, happiness, elevation, calm, and a meditative opportunity.

Healing Blankets
The blanket is a universal symbol for protection, warmth, and comfort. Cultures all over the world revere the blanket as a sacred gift to others to show caring and respect. They also connote security (a toddler’s security blanket), calming and soothing (swaddling a crying infant), and a sense of belonging (family blankets tossed over the couch for coziness and snuggling). We all know the importance of a blanket as a “love object” for preschoolers (the ever-yearned-for “blankie”) for the comfort and familiarity it brings. Blankets are also about warmth when we are cold and nurturance when we are sick. Finally, to wrap someone in a blanket shows a profound act of love and kindness. It is my hope that my Healing Blankets will elicit all of these thoughts and emotions in their viewers.
