Scripty Spirit
My work blends my experience, education, and innate ability, with a deeply profound interest in the spiritual essence of sentient beings. I am sensitive to the spiritual plane and utilize transcendental meditation techniques to aid me in receiving visions, images, emotions, which often guide the art works creation to completion. The artists Archipenko, Klee, Kandinsky, Lalique, Miro, Sargent, Morris, Chagall, Mucha, Beardsley, Erté, Hokusai, Amano, Waterhouse, Parrish and others inspire me. The illuminated letters I create reflect the person I am creating them for, literally; they possess aspects of the individuals spiritual essence. The mediums I use are watercolor, and architectural inks, and 100% cotton paper either hot or cold pressed. Each piece is unique to the client or financer.
I also create pet memorials, whimsical animal works, and am currently working on a cat breed alphabet.
