This site is a tool to set intentions. After more than a decade of not producing any art, or thinking about myself as an artist, I was drawn back into creativity by the Beacon Hill Craft Club’s Sarah McMaster. I’m not exaggerating when I say that Sarah lit my path back to art, and back to myself. Mothers often lose themselves because we literally have to give our whole self to raise a child. A couple of years ago, I learned to take back space for myself. All those mothers who are out there being whole individuals in their own right while raising children are some kind of sorcerers.
Public education and ecology are my passions. I sit on the School Councils of two local schools. The second position came about largely by accident when I went to confront the principal about the elimination of academic support programs at the school. I’m not sure that being on council is helping me solve that problem, but I’m learning so much – especially from the other parents who are just the most inspiring, giving people.
I’m not sure I need to say anything about ecology… obviously we are part of it and doing a very efficient job of destroying everything we need to survive.
With the world seemingly being torn apart by men, my art is all about awakening the Goddess. She births all life, and takes it all back again in the end. She nourishes and overwhelms. She starves and inspires. So many cults of patriarchy have attempted to eliminate our memory of the Goddess – smashing temples and statues, burning and banning books. She has slumbered long enough. It’s time for her to wake the fuck up. Wake the fuck up!!!
