Sketchbook
Meditations + Explorations
Working in a sketchbook, I experiment, explore and play almost every day. There are happy accidents that begin to happen. Things that I could not have predicted occur. I find that when I let go, I begin to rediscover my creative self. Without fear of mistakes, criticism or pressure to perform, I let the work guide me along a journey of self-discovery and creative enlightenment, illuminating my path forward through the twisted labyrinth of life.
​
A collection of published books will feature my works created in the Sketchbook Meditation + Exploration biweekly get-together: a time to commit to working in the sketchbook, experimenting with process and discussing the Rediscovering Your Creative Self podcast.
​
BOOK ONE: Just Imagine: Sketchbook Meditations
+ Explorations
Unexpected twists and turns have forever altered the course and we are embarking onto uncharted territory. To cope with the harsh, bitter realities of life, I escape to a sacred place: my inner sanctuary of creative self-expression and insight.
Compelled to release my thoughts, I open an unexplored page and begin to sketch, paint and write stories.
Words and passages, random thoughts, fragments and hints to more detailed stories begin to arise, flowing out in a dream-like stream-of-consciousness. A free-spirited mix of the real and the imagined coalesce, creating a reservoir of thought-provoking visual storytelling.
Coming Soon!
BOOK TWO: Mystical Alchemy:
Sketchbook Meditations + Explorations
The symbiotic, often contradictory, forces of nature become not only catalysts to a higher consciousness but also vehicles in which to communicate with the human spirit, evoking a deeper, cerebral connection with the collective culture.
Within the layers of materiality and concept, the work unfolds mystical insights and hidden messages inspired from the natural world.
Animal totems, emotion-based auras, elemental symbolism, rock and gem energy and the like are explored as ways to infuse layers of meaning into the pictorial landscape. By divulging into the wonders of nature, I become the caterpillar in the midst of transforming into a beautiful butterfly.
