Resonance
ATELIER
MY work REACHES ACROSS many mediums & SPATIAL FIELDS, ALL ENCOMPASSED within
HEALING ARTS.
i believe THROUGH SELF EXPRESSION WE CAN PROCESS, TRANSFORM, & TRANSCEND Our EXPERIENCES.
THIS PORTFOLIO Explores varying, sometimes mixed, MEDIUMS including MOVEMENT & sound, PHOTOGRAPHY, ILLUSTRATION, & JEWELRY.
MY CREATIVE PROCESS INCLUDES exploring different tools & materials, often working in waves with a resonating mediuM.
THE INTENTION IS to tune into when and where somatic energy feels either flowing or caught in my body. changing the medium allows me to find new paths to the other side of that which desires release.
at times, drawing or painting gives the best translation of a feeling, sometimes a camera is the perfect tool to frame an experience, & at times the physicality of hammering metal, moving my body, or creating sound waves gives way to the form I'm seeking.
EACH MEDIUM ACTS as a portal through which an investigation & dissection of my & Your perception can be examined.
art making is an entirely cathartic experience,
i hope that through sharing my work the viewer may be inspired to find their own preferred method of release.
MY WORK IN MOVEMENT & MEDITATIVE arts GIVES ME A CONTAINER TO LEAD FROM INTUITION & SHARE MY LEARNED UNDERSTANDING OF THE HUMan BODY, with all OUR FUNCTIONAL & DYSFUNCTIONAL PATTERNS.
as an instructor, MY INTENTION IS TO GUIDE PEOPLE INTO A CLEARER CONNECTION WITH THEIR BREATH & BODY, TO A CALMER STATE WITHIN THEIR NERVOUS SYSTEM, LEARNING TO SELF REGULATE & REFLECT ON OUR HABITUAL NATURE, to REWRITE OUTDATED PATTERNS SO WE MAY MOVE FROM OUR MOST GROUNDED STATE.
outside of my creative work, , I am most often in the garden, woods, or water with my pup or foraging wild ingredients for a Door County Underground farm dinner with my honey.
