The intersection of the mundane and the spiritual is the theme of my work. I&#8217;ve been integrating healing modalities, such as Reiki and the chakras, psychology, spirituality, and consciousness for over 20 years into my work. I&#8217;m currently a Integrative Studies major at Northern Kentucky University applying psychology, business, and leadership to explore more ways to manifest beauty, joy, and love into the world.<\/p>\n<p>I believe that the disconnection between the disparate parts of self is what causes dis-ease within society. The items I use directly represent this in my mixed media pieces; each work is another facet of the kaleidoscope of the self merging into wholeness, rejecting the normative standards set by society. Texture is often the focal point of my work and I am obsessed with how different materials react with each other; the tactility and grit of lace juxtaposed against a smooth wash of color\u2026or a bit of broken jewelry in betwixt beads, paper, leaves &amp; twigs, or some other found object. I use acrylics, watercolor, oil sticks, and ink to create layers of personality.
