This painting was inspired by a trip I took to the Santa Fe and Taos area after the death of a close family member. At the time, I understood that this area was the spiritual center of the United States and that we could draw upon the deep wisdom of the Native American cultures for healing the planet. While I was there I had an intense vision that my part in this planetary healing was to develop a clothing line imbued with sacred and instinctual energy, using natural fibers, animal skins and beauty. The purity and clarity of the Taos air reveals almost transcendent colors and I knew that this was my gift- to incorporate these colors into the clothing. It was a powerful vision and I made a commitment to the task.
The message: The human psyche is very attuned the clarity and vibration of color as well as the inherent harmony of beauty. We will be healed, in part, through a connection with the harmony of the senses that occurs with the apprehension of beauty in our world as well as the spiritual healing that comes through connection with the radiance of our bodies.
