Kia ora!

My artistry is woven around a core essence pertaining to ‘Rainbow culture’, Two-spiritLGBTQIA/Monastic+ ie. sexuality and gender -mixed media painting and lacqured shell jewellery.

Martin Luther King’s slogan of “I have a dream”, has resonated with me for most of my adult life. I now say: “I have had many dreams, and, they come to fruition! I am creating my dreams!”                                                                                                         

 

As early as about four years of age, my Innocence and then ‘lucid dreaming’, have become my main process modality for bringing a particular artistic entity into my life - Thomas Moore wrote a book called The Re-Enchantment In Everyday Life.

I am inherently drawn to a greater sense of a somatic sensuo-sexuosity divinity come mysticism in my artistry -my sense of soul lives within my body, brain/mind and heart, and, is referenced to the psychotherapeutic knowledge of Bessel van der Kolk -                                                                                                                            https://www.besselvanderkolk.com/resources/the-body-keeps-the-score
