My Process

I often say that I never formally studied art and it is one of those ideas that holds me back from sharing my artistic expressions.

This was done 8 years ago… I feel I’ve gone through this cycle infinite times since, not always involving psychedelic mushrooms as a catalyst. But always coming up to the wall inside that forms when I’ve been trying to please the status quo… and always coming up against a need for SOMETHING to break through it. Break deeper into the mystery of me.

Lately, it’s been extra hard to break through this wall. I feel my solo journey is opening into a need to build sustained community and social networks. Crossing the divide inside that says its not safe, worthwhile or possible. Starting one breath at a time, one friendship at a time, one commitment at a time.
