 My artwork responds to the call of the Goddess - to seek a deeper level, to bypass the millennia of patriarchal occupation and go right to the source, to the time of our ancient beginnings. As kindred spirits, today many of us are feeling the Great Mystery of our motherlines reverberating in our souls, and to trust that the Primordial Mothers - the weavers embedded in the land - are summoning us back to our most ancient selves, to our Ancestors and wild nature. Tied to the cycles of the land and the truth of our own bodies, the Primordial Mothers are the givers of birth and death, and our fundamental reality. Even in the modern era we are still “Women of the Earth” and our true power is found in our communal past, when we remember and know our symbiotic connection to the Ancestral Mothers, and the sacred soil essence our biological bodies arose from, so many aeons ago.   The Original Art: Layers of earthen texture, animal skins, woven bamboo, clay, geometric patterns and circular symbols form the base for a small figurine. This patterned feminine form is a storytelling device, and holds memories of the interactions between the women of the tribe and beings in nature such as plants, animals and reptiles - both in daily life and the dreamspace where affinities come together in mutual care and love. The original art was created with paperclay, handmade papers, fibres and cords.
  The Original Art: With patterns of earth, fired clay and sacred spirals, this carved and sculpted tablet was made to be held in the hand. The three feminine forms - the triad of youth, mother and elder - safeguard the women's mysteries, and evoke good health and positive outcomes. Neolithic figurines found in Old Europe were the inspiration for this "ancient spirit modern voice" creation. The original art was created with paperclay, stamps, paint, and earth pigments.
  The Original Art: The Earth Goddess and her Sacred Serpent appear on the primordial rock face of the Canadian Shield. The serpent is a symbol of fertility, regeneration, and the powerful energies - or ley lines - of the earth, and the labyrinth is an ancient, powerful tool for reflection and ritual. Walking the Serpentine Labyrinth can open our hearts and minds to inner guidance, ancestral wisdom, and new forms of creativity.
  The Original Art: On a background of earthen clay, the archetypal Mother Goddess figurine of Old Europe is gently held by seashells, bands of river reeds, and delicate florals. Interwoven with the consciousness of all beings, the shells and reeds offer their guidance, wisdom - and sometimes humour - as oracles and storykeepers to the women of the tribe. FLAT LAY PHOTOGRAPHY

  The Original Art: The hands of the collective, on the cave wall, surround a panel honoring the fertility, strength and power of the feminine force. They are linked together in earth community and reciprocity with the generous spirits of the land. Resplendent in sacred spirals and shades of blue, the feminine form is enhanced by a magical blue stone - one of many held by the scouts, nurturers and wise women of the tribe. The original art was created with hand-crafted paper from natural fibres, cut paper, acrylic paint and embellishments.
