Reality

1/26/10

 

I begin my day with a strong assertion that I choose to accept the reality of my life.

Your art is like breath for the spirit. There is such a wonderful breadth.

Purpose

1/22/10

 
I seek to be a more true expression of my life.  Today I know it is perfectly right to seek.  Revelation is ever deeper and sets me free. 
"Bird song brings relief to my longing 

I am just as ecstatic as they are but with nothing to say  

Please, Universal Soul, practice some song or some thing through me     

Let your throat song be clear and strong enough to make an emperor fall full length...suppliant at the door."  Rumi

The Ceremonials

10/31/09

 

This is a Ceremonial box in progress.  If it's successful to my vision, it'll be called "Wisdom". The forming and carving are complete and I'm babysitting a slow drying process as I work on more Spirit Rattles and Ceremonial boxes.

Great to see you ! The Madrona Series is still one of my favorites. Beautiful gardens... I need to introduce more flowers here, and Shirley Ericksons piece is in the perfect setting. Karla Matzke Art Gallery and Sculpture Park
