Cosmic Chi Series

Color shape and line come together in exciting ways when I am inspired both visually and musically and by the energy that flows in the universe and connects us all.  When the thinking mind becomes still, spaciousness appears and the energy of these elements takes on a life of its own.  

The universe and its myriad of galaxies have always inspired me to think beyond the everyday known reality to the infinitude of stars and galaxies.  As Joni Mitchell sang, "We are stardust..." and so we are connected to this greater, unseen reality.

 The beauty of place moves me to capture its essence and energy.  My love of travel has taken me across the northwest and southwest with my photographer husband. There is nothing like a moment in time and space that takes your breath away. These landscapes explore the spirit of place rather than portraying a purely representational image. 

 Embrace Impermanence. Walking on the beach is a meditation on Impermanence. Ephemeral….momentary…evanescence…fleeting …the impermanence of things. Impermanence is a principle of harmony. When we don’t struggle against it, we are in harmony with reality, in harmony with all things.
