Much of the work I do with clients who have suffered immeasurable trauma, abuse, oppression, and neglect, is helping them to discover or recover their personal power. Through completing truncated defensive responses in the body and releasing shame-based beliefs, a person feels safer and stronger to move from self-preservation mode to a life of service in the name of love, goodness, truth, justice, equality, and fairness.
Through my art, I depict themes of how the intrapersonal and interpersonal connect with the social, cultural, and spiritual in a beautiful yet messy developmental dance toward greater truth, beauty, and goodness. This painting is not meant to make you feel comfortable, serene, or peaceful. It is a depiction of the power needed to blast away all that is not an energetic support for mutual respect and love for all beings.
