About Me


"Please don't worry about my wanderings in these infinitudes. I shall return laden with rich booty for our knowledge of the human psyche. For a while longer I must intoxicate myself on magic perfumes in order to fathom the secrets that lie hidden ... There are strange things in these lands of darkness." -- Jung

"Oh, her? She's a weird artsy fartsy type -- a bit f'ed in the head, if ya know what I mean."

I'm a self-educated artist with an over active muse. I'm precocious -- cheeky at times -- always trying, but only occasionally funny to others, enveloped in an eternal state of creativity, and happy to have confirmation that I'm not the only one who is not at MySpace for cheap porn! My life is thoroughly devoted to the arts and the expression of humanity in all forms. I seek, I learn, I express, then perhaps -- if I'm lucky -- I'll grow. And, for some reason, I'm compelled to try to take others with me along the way. Life provides the classrooms where the truth of art is made.

Overall, it's up to the individual viewer to take away what they will - what they need; I'm just trying to offer an experience.

Ok, here's a blurb ... blurbs away! ...
A concept is like the seed of a plant that blooms. It already is what it shall be, inside, but must remain hidden in the earth until roots have grown to become a part of the whole. Then, once it has a firm grasp, it can grow foliage. The foliage gains nourishment from exposure to the outward environment and will eventually flower. Child like faith will allow you to see the flower with wonder! The whole process can be quite frustrating, though, from the perspective of the seed -- knowing the upper world exists and longing for the light ... waiting for roots to grow.

Artist-Tree Gallery; Quality Photomanipulation Prints & Note Cards

Photomanipulation arts are images that exist only within the digital realm until brought to life through the printing process. Unlike thick oil or acrylic paints, a digital image must discover texture without the aide of a 3-D world; a print is flat & smooth. Therefore, pixels & ripples become modern brush strokes much like the Impressionists & Pointillist strokes of the past.

Only he who has lived in darkness truly knows and values Light. -- Stephen R. Lawhead from "Taliesin, Book One of the Pendragon Cycle"

All through your life you'll be faced with making a decision between two things; choose the one that is right. If they are both right then choose the one that will make you feel the best about it at the end of the day. -- Thomas Jefferson

The Indian snake creature known as the naga was believed to reside in groups apart from normal humans, and many legends tell of their secret citites hidden deep in the jungle, underground, or underwater. In many tales, the naga is often of royal lineage, or sometimes even divinity. Nagas are often associated with water, and it is said that they can control the weather.As a naga, you possess strong leadership abilities, you are highly intelligent, and you can also be a bit intimidating.

Music:


I'm a bit of a radio nut. I love to explore the dial. There's at least one radio in every room, including the garage, at this house. Sometimes when I'm feeling a creative drag I'll randomly turn the radio dial, (that's why a ROUND dial is best over digital), to enjoy the kooky Dadaist kind of broken sentences & cryptic phrases that occur -- some are quite funny! I'm lucky, or he is, that my husband shares my love of sound & supports me in donating to local radio stations in Ohio such as WMKV 89.3 FM , where I find Theater of the Mind & other fav shows from the past. The guys at Media Heritage, Inc. bring the great old radio shows to me & I love them dearly for it! I'm also often up all night to listen to Coast to Coast AM with George Noory. Art Bell is akin to family by now, I've known of him for so many years. (psst, I saw it TOO Art!) Echoes , new-age & ambient music program, has my ears most week-nights before the witching hour. And World Cafe brings me fresh, new music.
NAMES I ADORE... SOAD, Otis Redding, Billie Holiday, Wynton Marsalis, Thelonious Monk, Rage Againt the Machine, Beck, Rob Zombie, James Taylor, Eminem, nine inch nails, Prince, Nirvana, Green Day, Korn, Godsmack, Ziggy Marley, Bob Marley, Disturbed, Bing Crosby, (who many say was disturbed), John Lennon, Maynard Ferguson, Chris Stills, The Grateful Dead, Marvin Gaye, Ella, Erykah Badu, Dean Martin, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, B.B. King, Artie Shaw, Glen Miller, Gershwin, Motzart, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rachmaninoff, Stravinsky, oh hell I like a little of everything!!!!

Movies:

HARRY POTTER, What Dreams May Come, Nightmare Before Christmas, Fight Club, Rising Sun, The Matrix, -- FIRST one, Mephisto, Metropolis, Pi, Pollock,(Ed Harris rocks!), Boondock Saints, Natural Born Killers, The Pianist, Roman Polanski, Medicine Man, Donnie Darko, Dances With Wolves, Othello with Lawrence Fishburne, Much Ado About Nothing (1993)Directed by Kenneth Branagh, John Carpenter's The Thing, too many others...

Books:


Books... I enjoy too many books to list, but here's a few for character development: The Picture of Dorian Gray, Oscar Wilde, The Ramayana, The Breath of Life by John Burroughs, Das Energi by Paul Williams, The Spiritual in Art; Abstract Painting 1890-1985, HARRY POTTER, The Mists of Avalon, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Year of the Gorilla, by George Schaller, Rama the Gypsy Cat, Werefox, -- I love tomes of all types and ages.

Heroes:

My HERO'S Pumpkins will never be the same.
"An artists function is the mythologization of the environment and the world." -- Joseph Campbell
John Burroughs, John Lennon, Picasso because he survived himself for so long, His Holiness the Dali Lama in part because he's survived us for so long, Sylvia Plath and Jim Morrison because they didn't survive, Black Elk for having the courage to speak, and Bugs Bunny because he'll likely out last us all!
