This painting came to me in a dream. I saw all the rooms of this dark house with intense light beckoning me from the top of the stair case. In the middle level, there was a work in progress; a painting of a dress, hanging from a clothesline or something. At the bottom of the house, was a priest or some kind of spiritual adviser. I was the skull sitting next to him and asked him, "How do I get rid of the demon?". He points to the bed in a distant room and replies, " over there in that room, alone. The girl will sleep on the couch tonight". After I woke up, it took me still awhile to feel like I was awake. It was one of those vivid dreams that feel so real! I'm not sure what it means, but I think it could be a snap shot of my entire life, including death. I see the easel as representing my soul's work on this earth; a painter and also a mother and wife, which the dress represents. That's why the painting was still in progress; because I'm not finished yet! (well I hope not lol). The light at the top was the end of life, which you can see, you can go back down the steps and circle again and again until, making the same mistakes maybe (which are lessons), until you go up for the final time. Anyhow, maybe it will mean something different to someone else. That's the beauty of art. Life is but a dream!

Open Mind

I created this painting after reading a book called, ‘Letting Go’ by David Hawkins. The book was about learning how to let go of all negative emotions that plague our mind. By releasing the negative emotions, they could be replaced by positive emotions (LOVE). I really liked the idea of this since my mind tends to be a very busy place and honestly, many of those thoughts are negative. When I began to practice the techniques of this book, I immediately felt lighter as the negative thoughts left me. The more I became aware of these thoughts and let them go, more and more seemed to arise to the surface. I was surprise at the amount of fear driven thoughts I had, carrying around with me. As I felt them leave me, I felt more and more filled with light and joy, and simply happy. It felt like the negative thoughts had no where left to hide and ran and hid away from the light. It reminded me of lifting up big rocks as a child, and watching all the creatures living under there, run and scurry to escape back into the darkness. I saw this image clearly of a while light, presence lifting up my mind, uncovering what dark creatures lay there and witnessing them leaving me. The painting arose in my mind perfectly clear, and I was then inspired to to paint it.

Divine Mother Earth' began as an abstract; just for fun. I needed a break from my normal process, of imagining a picture first, then getting it out of my head to canvas. This time, I had no preconceived idea of what I would be painting; just that I would be playing around in paint. I started with blues, and yellows, with some red and purple, with the canvas laid flat, and let whatever would happen; happen. I started to see something like a castle, or a forest, and also shapes like figures began to appear.

This is a piece that came to me, much like the other ones; it began with a vision into a beautiful forest, following a path of light. I saw a shadow inside and surrounded by the light. As I got closer, I saw it was a little deer, so small and innocent; not afraid.

Despierto

Despierto' took an interesting turn as a painting that eventually became a different painting! I originally titled it 'En Fuego' because it was originally a skeleton lying horizontally in the center of a large fire. I wanted a cleansing and purifying element in this piece. When I thought I had completed the painting, it just didn't feel right. I felt it was too busy and and chaotic to give me a sense of peace. The more I looked at it, I saw a flower instead of the flames. I decided to turn the flames into a lotus flower giving it a feeling of renewal and rebirth. I titled it 'Despierto' because I think of a flower unfolding it's pedals and waking up.
