LOVE IN ALL ITS FREQUENCIES – LIAIF (pronounced LIFE)

More that just to make love or represent love through art, I want my work to invite people into their own relationship and experience with love in all its frequencies. I want to light a fire of outrageous courage into the hearts of everyone who encounters my work. I want the experience to touch you, to hold you, to evoke desire and ignite mystery in your bones. To impart an unequivocal knowing that you are not alone. That there is nothing wrong with you, nothing wrong with who or what you long for. That you are made of love, made for love, that you are loved, in all your frequencies.

I dance when I paint, I sing and drum the canvases with my brushes, making love. I mostly use an ultra matte, vinyl paint medium, graphite sticks, woody pastels, charcoal and specifically resourced crystal pigments to hold particular frequencies for each piece; the paintings seem to vibrate into the spaces they inhabit. I impregnate my canvases with essences, essential oils and lots of water as I am working with them. I also design sound experiences, which can include poetry and song for individual pieces and soundscapes for the space as a whole.
