About The Artwork

Mary Magdalene is a powerful figure in the Bible and a mysterious one. I had a dream of Mary Magdalene and in the dream she asked me to paint her as the true women she really was. This led me to do extensive research about her. I learned that she never was a prostitute but instead a wise and learned women. There is strong evidence to believe that she was a student of Jesus. In 1896 a manuscript was found in Cairo, Egypt. It was called the Teachings of Mary Magdalene. It was eventually translated by the scholar Jean-Yves Leloup. This scholar carefully and lovingly worked with every single word of the manuscript to bring us an amazing glimpse into Mary Magdalene’s life. Showing us she was a scholar and a very spiritual women and a teacher of principles of wisdom. In this document she was called the “Woman Who Knew All”. I painted her in bright red, as it is a color associated with vibrancy and vitality. Her head is decorated with a golden veil as a symbol of precious knowledge. She holds a chalice in her hands with a Tree of Life on it. Holding as an invitation to drink and “know”. I paid close attention to depicting her face with grace and compassion, attributes she is said to have display often in her life’s journey. I found in painting this work and researching her life a profound respect for her and the amazing women she was.

It is said that an image that you see registers in your brain faster than sound or language. It goes directly in and can linger, tumble about and influence what you think and what you are. That is why art is the most powerful medium you can open to. For this reason I have created images that are deliberately meant to uplift, inspire and give you hope. My work, in short, is good medicine. I design my work principally for women. Because I am a woman I understand something of the pathways we can travel. These paths can be difficult and sometimes heart breaking, so we need lifting up. We need images that excite the eye, stimulate the brain and wake us up! When you work with one of my images it is grounded in meaningful symbolism and dynamic color that delights and stimulates positivity. I have explored archeology and traveled in the cultures of the Americas. I understand the value of that which is seen and unseen. I embrace my spirituality as a women and I bring that philosophy into my work. This is an invitation to travel with me as you look through my work. Let it open your heart and your Soul. Let yourself, as the American Indians say, enter a place where art becomes your good medicine. Let it take you to a place of hope, inspiration and love.
