Description: For me, this work operates on several levels coming from a number of influences and events. The trees are painted on location on our land in the Missouri Ozark Mountains after a 2003 tornado. There is a beauty to the power of nature to survive. I created this piece after spending a three week residency in the studio of the late painter Morris Graves near Eureka, California. Graves, a well-known and important artist whose work embodied nature and spirituality, died in 2001. It was an extraordinary experience to have a 2 1/2 week residency of silence and solitude in his studio.

Mesmerized by the expansiveness of space, I am always pondering on my place in the universe and the enigma of consciousness and existence. I am inspired by things that make me wonder and if I could I would spend hours staring into the sky. The turning of day to night is a display of vast beauty, subtle color shifting as the earth moves. How varied cultures through history have striven to explain this mystery through mathematics and the sciences I find fascinating. The ancients observed the spiral unfolding of nature within the sprouting of a seed, a radiating flower center, the proportions of the human form, the relationship of the Earth to the solar system, the turn of a galaxy. The spiral is a profound image of the movement of time and space. Miranda Lundy writes, "Sacred geometry charts the unfolding of number in space." In my recent encaustic artworks, images of skies are seen juxtaposed with geometrical diagrams or sacred geometry used to design the floor plans of ancient temples. A personal language of symbols distilled from years of sketchbooks, shelters, nests, boats and bowls; light, water, earth and sky; seeds, branches, roots and new growth, eyes and hands become timeless images that can be "read" allegorically in many ways - a poetic, wordless dance within a memory of space. I've learned to not question the internal juxtaposition of imagery, to listen and let the work lead me: a conversation with paper, wax, branches, brush, pen, saw and twine.
