Sacred Cartography: Atlas of the Soul
These works arise from meditative drawing and embodied intuition. Each mark maps the body’s subtle wisdom—echoes of memory, emotion, and energy. What unfolds is not a planned image, but a sacred map drawn from within.
She Speaks in Waves, I Answer in Stones
This body of work is a response to the sacred presence of Rocky Gap Beach, where grief and grace meet at the water’s edge. The lake speaks in waves—steady, ancient, alive—and I answer in stones and marks, each a quiet offering. These drawings are part prayer, part conversation, shaped by loss, memory, and the healing rhythms of the shore.
The Weave of Being: Exploring grief, joy and healing through connection to the land.
Artist Statement-Weave of Being
This body of work began as a way to navigate profound loss. While sitting with my daughter during her illness, I filled sketchbooks with quiet landscapes—drawn in the hospital, between drives from Michigan to Chicago. Those early drawings became maps of grief: irregular, layered, and full of longing.
Over time, the work evolved beyond sorrow into a dialogue with the land itself. I began to see energy currents running through the earth—root systems, rivers, and unseen threads of connection. Each mark became an act of listening and renewal.
The Weave of Being now reflects the intertwined nature of life, loss, and healing. Through meditative drawing, I trace the invisible lines that connect us to one another and to the living earth—reminding us that even in grief, we are part of a greater, enduring weave.
