Portraiture Statement |
To quote Louise Doughty “Muscle has memory: the body knows things the mind will not admit.”
I agree with this concept whole heartedly. It has only been through the process of painting and allowing myself to be a conduit that I have been able to tap into the message my body has been trying to convey for the past 35 years. I have opened myself to now create portraiture from a place of ancestral memory, meaning I am not using a live model, and I am not operating from a photograph. I am recalling a memory, from a past I have not lived in this life, but one I have lived before.
Through bloodlines long dusted now presenting themselves to me through meditative visualizations I am sharing this gift. I am sharing ancestral wisdom not only from my long forgotten historical background, but yours as well. You and I are unified, and eat from the same earth that those who’ve gone before us are now growing out of. It is only natural that together we feel connected and protective over our earth and this sacred right. As I open myself more completely to the nature of our familial totemic inheritance I am finding that my spirit is feeling fulfilled. My guardianship values are deepening in an innate yearning to reconnect mankind with the wild and essential beauties surrounding us. There are untold gifts waiting to be received should we care for this planet in ways that symbiotically and ecologically allow it to care for us.

My earrings are made with great care and selection. They are handcrafted with PMD (plastic marine debris) collected by my hands off of the Oregon coast. Paired with sterling or steel, and wood, glass, or stone to accompany them in their raw essence of ocean travel and the life they've lived at sea, now reborn as a conversational statement piece.
