Dream Cake & Other Art
Dream Cake, paper collage, 2025 I picked up a few vintage Life magazines while I was out running errands yesterday morning, and I haven’t been able to put them down since. The ads are so good–especially the food ads. You’ll find some of them below (and in Dream Cake, above). I had a lot of…

Lightkeepers
During my mediation this morning, a thought came to mind that I haven’t shared in awhile and that I think is worth sharing (or re-sharing) today: It is not your job to acquire belongings; it is your job to figure out what belongs to you and create extensions of its light. This is a thought…

This Is Your Moment
Wishing on a Star, paper collage, 2025 During my meditation this morning, a thought came to mind that I believe is worth sharing: this is your moment. What that means to me: this day is your moment to enjoy life, to be receptive to life, to engage with life in an inspired and meaningful way.…

Cruisin’ & Other Art
Cruisin’, paper collage, 2025 I recently purchased a bunch of new (or not-so-new) 1950s-1960s National Geographic magazines. Whenever I get new source material, there are certain elements that I get really excited about and tend to want to work with right away. Vintage car ads are among those elements, and luckily my new magazines have…

The Free Spirit
The other day, I asked Google how many feminine archetypes there are. And it seems there are as many answers to that question are there are people who are inclined to answer it.

Stay Close to the Cosmos IV
Cosmic Field, paper collage, 2025 All real living is meeting. – Martin Buber If you want to create a revolution within yourself, stop treating your environment like an “it”—like it has no soul, like it exists for your use and to satisfy your needs. Try meeting your environment instead and treating it like the living,…

On Receptivity
The receptivity of the artist must never be confused with passivity. Receptivity is the artist’s holding him or herself alive and open to hear what being may speak. – Rollo May I know artists whose medium is Life itself, and who express the inexpressible without brush, pencil, chisel, or guitar. They neither paint nor dance.…

On Feeling Pretty
I view the feminine within, first and foremost, as a source of vitality. When I am in sync with the feminine, I feel very strongly myself. I experience myself in a way that feels powerful, sensual, radiant, and very much alive. When I have gone too long without tending to the inner feminine—that is, when…

On Nurturing
Artwork by Elowen Digital I do not have children, and for a long time, I believed that raising a child was the singular most important role of the “mother” or “divine mother” archetype. As I’ve matured and gotten to know myself better, of course, I have come to realize that belief was false. Like all…
