If you like to stare at the night sky or pictures from the Webb telescope, you’re probably fascinated, as I am, by stars, galaxies, planets, moons, black holes and dark matter. I think we love space because we somehow know it’s also what’s inside us. Which means, obviously, we’re so much more than flesh and bone. We’re energy in form, vast, unknowable, eternal and free.

 

 

Earthly life, meanwhile, looks and feels solid. But it’s different when you peer into form to see what’s inside it. Humans, for instance, are made of colorful energy patterns, overlapping and connected to each other and all life.

 

 

When you look beyond faces, personas disappear, revealing Souls that shine like stars. And when you sense this aliveness in all forms and feel the connections, the world becomes a friendlier place. Oneness becomes more than a theory.

 

 

Creating these images shifts my perspective in just this way. I go as deeply as possible into myself to a state of inner peace where there is no resistance, no criticism, and no judgment.

 

 

From there, I translate what I’m sensing into geometric patterns. The lines, colors, connections, and symmetry resonate deeply, expanding my consciousness. The practice, then, becomes a way of life.

 

 

The finished pieces carry this energy to anyone who wants it. I can’t explain how that works, but it does. They have a way of slowing down your thoughts and your breathing, tried and true methods for expanding consciousness.

 

 

As we live through these changing and challenging times, I feel it’s more important than ever for each of us to awaken Spiritually and to live consciously as the brilliant stars that we are.

 

 

I create in response to my intention to do just that, and I share my work to ignite the same passion in others.
