Durga is more than a 'mere' Goddess. She is the force of nature itself, the force that manifests, creates, sustains and animates the entire universe. For some, she also represents the power, agency and glory of women to fight against oppression and deliver justice. Also known as the mother-protector, She is all-encompassing Brahman and Atman--Self and Soul. Some say that her appearance marks the beginning of soul's journey to creative freedom.

Though I cannot say why she first appeared to me but She arrived in my world the first week in September 2017 as I was being ushered into focused work on Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women. In my first vision of Her, she appeared in her traditionally depicted way: eight arms, holding eights symbols or weapons. Her presence was one of pure, raw, white-hot emanating power. In this vision, she handed me Her lightning-filled vajra, a contained thunderbolt that brought my right eyebrow up, and vanished. In those brief moments, there was nothing benevolent about her: She was pissed and I'd been given my marching orders.

I still don't know what that lightning bolt was for and may never. However, it fits with the knowing that I am The Storm, The Warrior, The Protector. Durga Maa is still an active part of my world. She is not spiritual ideal but another very real, very prominent representation of The Mothaer. Her aspects are not entirely different than Our Lady of Guadalupe, Mary, Maryam, Kwan Yin or Yemojah. When I stand in front of this representation of Her, there's a steadying, gentle power and emanating warmth that strengthens and inspires.

Durga is 36 x 48 x 1.5". She is priced at $7200.

Colors of Faith

I am a savant artist. The compulsion to paint appeared in the spring of 2022 as suddenly as the capacity to heal disease with touch in 2009. The sensitivities and perceptiveness that guide the work as a shaman bring the Language of Creation to viewers in a visible way. In the summer of 2022, God called my painting "faith in color." It took me two years before I realized that, to me, it's the "color of faith". When I paint I don't know how it's going to turn out, I don't even have to know the next step; I don't question my choices in color or texture or how the canvas and creation move me. I merely am and in the movement, deeply still and deeply peace-filled.

To many, these pieces are mystical, multi-sensory experiences; temperature changing, heart-opening, illness-curing paintings that imbue the viewer with peace and wonder. Though pieces are not created with a story in mind, sensitive viewers can hear and feel the stories of Ancients, the land and water. When I begin, I usually don't know what will unfold: abstract landscape, surrealist weaving of magic, or Missing and Murdered Indigeous Women speaking through the ground and ether.

Each piece evolves into its own rhythm and tone, responding to the energies within and around me, and similar to the way I experience synesthesia, emits its own sensory experience. Most pieces challenge the status quo of spiritual spaces and conceptions asking viewers to reevaluate limitations and the liminal space between the physical and invisible worlds. What often at first glance is two-dimensional becomes an experience akin to walking through a threshold, entering sanctuary as well as deep space: of the inner kind and that associated with the stars.
