When I was younger I learned, in Jungian analysis, a healthy, creative relationship with the soul. While I was on that path of self-discovery I realized that I wanted to be a companion to other people as they took the same journey, and so I became a psychotherapist working from a Jungian perspective. Over the years I learned that the real work of healing lies in establishing a dynamic relationship with the Holy. This is the most important thing -- what we're created for, you might say.

Each of us comes to our own right relationship with God-- a very personal one -- using a language that makes sense to us, either because we grew up with it or because we found an affinity with it later. Each faith tradition has strengths and treasures, spiritual practices that open doors and help people live into their relationship with the living God. At the level of this relationship, differences between traditions all but disappear. I am an Episcopalian, a progressive Christian, and speak that language in my art.

I have been an artist all my life. I see the world as an artist, and have honed skills through study and practice that help me speak the language of my heart through line and color and form. I communicate my sense of the Holy through my art; as well as my understanding of the relationship between people and God. Soul connections and images are all important in this way of expression.
