When my mother died I was hit with the painful reality that the sacred maternal bond we had shared was forever severed on the physical plane. For a long time the enormity of that loss felt overwhelming and incomprehensible. Over time I realized however that our connection still exists and will always exist, for every connection is spiritual.

​

Through connection to spirituality, I have found gratitude in my mother's death. I have come to believe that in each life experience is a lesson, the more painful the experience, the deeper the lesson cuts. These lessons have the power to transform us, which means these lessons have the power to transform the world.

Using acrylic paint on canvas, my work seeks to explore what I believe it means to be human, and how many aspects of modern life (as pre-historic flesh-vessels living in a technologically-advanced world) have ceased to make sense in my grief. We are spiritual creatures living in a spiritually devoid time, I want my art to reconnect people to the spirit.
