This divine hero of blue known for carrying a flute as his talisman whose grace rids us of our impurities and whose song brings pure enjoyment and self existing bliss. Thru breath, Krishna brings sweet music to our ears....a great reminder of the gifts that our own breath brings within our practice. The human heart, made instrument for the God of Love to play upon. Legend says Krishna's melody plays so sweet that peacocks were "blissed out" with joy and offered their feathers of nobility in gratitude. Krishna's peacock adornments represent the all seeing eyes that bring forth third eye knowledge and invite us to know and to show our true colors. 

May you know your absolute truth.

Thank you yoga community for all your words of appreciation and your enthusiasm during this work in progress...a great reminder of the impact that our daily paint strokes can have on one another.  

When a Spotted Dog decides to open a Yoga Studio…

I was honored to be given the opportunity to shed light on this little earth angel and bring him to life artfully for all to see.  


Bandit’s face is a mixed bag of tricks….happiness grinning from ear to ear, a wet nose for investigation, ready to pounce at a moments notice, eyes of deep sincerity, ears alert and alive 
and a grounding Om symbol that dangles from his collar.  


It all started with a photo shoot and a ball. It is hard to say which is his better side, his right or his left….all in all…he is a man of many faces.

  At the end of the day…his headshot says it all.  
Translated to line drawing, I wanted his many personas to be revealed.  
With a certain level of whimsy…a mascot was born.  


Now ready for water bottles, t-shirts,
 yoga mats, backlit signage and who knows…
maybe even a van.  

From line drawing to steel….

Going from line drawing back to layered dimension took some thinking…each body surface was given it’s own layer of steel, creating a dramatic stacking and enhanced viewing from teeth to tongue.  


Backlighting brought his eyes and his Om to life…creating a halo glow that is wrapped with core values….family, gratitude, Integrity & faith.

If you are lucky….Bandit will be there to greet you in person as you come thru the door.

Welcome to Spotted Dog Yoga!!!!

Sisterhood….a NEW light.

An inspiration that took a lifetime to prepare for and 3 months to create.  The vibration stemming from an amazing group of women that experienced HoneyRoot Women’s Retreat 2014.(www.honeyrootretreats.com)

The connection on a global level from the freedom of movement, stomping of feet, crying from pain and laughing from pleasure.  Sitting in complete devotion, the honoring, holding and listening.  The roots of our lifetime and the lifetimes before us. A yoni chord that extends from our bodies that runs deep into the earth that unites the Creatrix of all yoni chords…pumping with a high frequency vibration and the libation of sweet honey nectar to awaken our spirit, fuel our soul and inspire our journey.  

To be the research team for the good of all women, gathering information springing forth a new generation that has a much deeper connection with our fellow sisters.  The female warriors of today making way for the female warriors of tomorrow.  The awareness of the oneness of LOVE, of devotion to self and to others, and the culmination of experiential that strengthens our connection to mother earth and ultimately one another.  May we dance freely, without restriction and continue to flow and to manifest unbridled creations of the highest frequency.


Thank you sisters.

Namaste

You know, when you know…
the connection is made, the important questions are asked, the timing is just right, hearts are open & ready to be shared 
and the imagery reveals itself. 

I continue to explore the depths of healing that Spirit and Artwork play upon….

My most recent commission comes from a husband and wife in the Folsom area that have been holding onto my business card for close to 10 years.  Upon deciding recently that they wanted artwork to adorn their backyard pool area…they found the card and gave me a call.  (Amazing in and of itself)

Within the commission process, I am now finding that the questions I ask have completely changed their flavor.  Now the very first questions have to do with feelings, energetics, and well-being.  From these, I discover the intention that is at the heart of the design and the healing that will stem from the creation of the works.  

The brightness of a new day with the sun’s energy bringing warmth and reverence. 

The reflection of the light upon the waters of emotion.  
An angel’s wings bringing the love of Spirit to cradle the hands that are here for healing and receiving.

A bird upon the ladder of life sitting nestled as time unfurls it’s leaves and springs new blossoms.  


The wind chimes that sound the moment and draw attention to the intention within the healing.

The virtual design....

Works completed and installed....

A functional towel branch as well.

Forever grateful for the awareness, the connections and the journey.

Funny how a scrapyard find can lead to an entirely new backyard.....

Discovered amidst the rubble at my favorite scrappin' hole...this relic tar well left plenty of room for the imagination. Wanting to bring a little of our cabin experience to the homestead...we were long overdue for a fire pit. 

Design....Fabrication...Installation....
                             
                   Fire!!!!

Ever wonder where the word "bung hole" came from?....here it is...the bung that seals the tar well.

Favorite past time.....

besides yoga and the great outdoors with my Labradorables....
                 diggin' in the scrapyard. 
 
So many shapes, sizes and colorations...who knows where the inspiration will lead.  

This piece stole the show....a few alterations.....

A little color.....

I've got branches on the brain.

Loving the tranquility of nature sculpted with adornments...it makes for an enchanting combination of elegance and human interaction.


Sculpted branches with attachments for earrings, necklaces, bracelets and rings...

where      Art meets functionality.

Some of these have been in my collection for quite some time, waiting patiently for the perfect platform to sparkle.  Some vintage, some heirlooms...my grandmother's precious jeweled "acorn" earrings added to the assemblage for the perfect keepsake. 

Dancing prisms make for an amazing way to cleanse the spirit and start the day!!!!

I was recently asked to consider the difference between “making” and “creating”. 

Upon closer consideration, the truth was revealed.

"Making" is wrapped around the to-do’s of life, the punch list of perceived self worth.  It is wrapped with control and the “necessary” planning in order to drive a situation to a self guided outcome.

On the flip side, is our natural gift to "create".  Without fear or judgement, to trust the voice from within that is the heartbeat of our truth.  To listen closely to source without question or doubt, acting as a conduit for love to speak and to fuel our deepest desires.  

Knowing "how” we get there is not important…for if we trust ourselves and the power of love, everything will be provided and we will know the way.

There is LOVE and there is everything else.
Only LOVE is real.
