Artist Statement
Based in Sebastopol | unceded Miwok territory
My paintings are a language of clarity and eloquence, effortlessly conveying the essence of women, their power, love, wisdom, and the sacred connection with Mother Earth. The term "Mapuche," translating to "earth people," encapsulates the simplicity and profundity of my artistic expression. Engaging in the physical act of painting, I transform into a shamanic scribe, preparing my palette and tools for communication with otherworldly realms. The right-side mode of my brain takes over, transcending the constraints of time. This sacred process, a healing journey for the mind, grants the freedom to traverse realms of existence.
