Green Dots (2012) Resim Sherri Silverman tarafından

Decades of meditation practice form the ground for my artwork, which mostly includes pastel paintings, gouache and watercolor, mineral pigment and sumi ink, collage, and photography. Archival prints are also available of both paintings and photography.

Although I enjoyed making art as a child and actively pursued it, it was not encouraged by my family, who pushed me to be "straight academic." In fact, I had a series of paintings in the back of my bedroom closet when I was four that upset my mom because she wanted the house to look clean and presentable when we were selling it to move. I began meditating in 1972, returned to writing poetry in 1975, and painting again in 1977. 

I am mostly self-trained as an artist and have just explored as I wished, developing my own style and images from within. I began because I wanted to. I took a few courses at the Cambridge (MA) Center for Adult Education in 1977. In 2015 I won a scholarship for a course in Nihonga, Japanese mineral pigment painting. My main training remains academic: I have a doctorate in Creativity, Art, and the Sacred & Application of Asian Concepts. 

I’ve always had my studio in my home, although I’ve also created at Artist in Residence programs, such as at the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art (BMoCA), and while traveling. 

My art studio was in Santa Fe, New Mexico for thirty years. Now it is in my cottage in Lagunitas, California, where I see bay laurel and redwood trees, deer and quail outside my windows, in beautiful Marin County near San Francisco. Both quiet places allow for hikes on trails outside my door when taking breaks from the studio, gathering further inspiration and connection with nature. 

My art has been included in four museum group shows and is in private, public, and corporate collections across North America. I've shown in solo and group shows in art galleries in Colorado, New Mexico, Iowa, California, and Florida. My artistic goals include creating work that expands and enlivens consciousness, that nourishes the soul, that heals and evokes happiness and wholeness in the world. I want to make a lasting contribution by delving into the mystery of creating something from nothing. 

There are lots more details of my art bio, my artist statement, photos of the studio, art images and series, news, and my artist resume on my artist website.
