Gold Kintsugi Collection
In creating these pieces for you, my intention is to illuminate the idea of bringing to light the scars that have come from life experiences, finding a new purpose and meaning through aging and loss, seeing love and beauty within what we would otherwise deem as imperfections. None of us are without flaws, but whether we choose to ignore those flaws or adorn them says something about the quality of our lives. Anything broken can be repaired; this is a deep meditation in my life. As an artist, I choose to make these unique works rather than editions to emphasize the value of that which cannot be replicated.
When I traveled to Vienna, one great joy was spending endless afternoons studying Gustav Klimt’s artwork. From this point on, I decided that my work would not only have a golden phase but a golden life where everything is infused with radiant, romantic intimacy and imagery, rich in both textures and meaning. We live in a kaleidoscopic world, which is truly precious, unifying, and infused with meaning.
Leaf
Wisdom Seekers
The owl represents the wisdom of nature. The woman has the owl pressed against her breast connecting us to the infinite wisdom of our heart. This reminds us all to follow our instincts and open to a more profound sense of knowing. This piece is designed to evoke joy, passion, and your one golden core. it is a mirror.
Mixed Beings
This artwork is created by painting emulsion and overlaying the photographic image onto the wooden board, which has been hand painted with 24K gold leaf. The image is a single image rather than a composite, meaning that Love was taking the photograph within three feet of the tiger with a wide angle lens with the painted avatar woman being literally right next to him. It takes a lot to surrender to that moment when you are face to face with this giant, yet majestic, angelic beast.
The intention of Mixed Beings is for the viewer to receive the gift of bravery from both this avatar being and a definite king of the jungle.
What is rare is precious, and what is precious is deserving of our respect.
Lion Heart
The Lion is the King of the Jungle -- the Queen of the wilderness also has a Lion Heart-- This piece is an ode to the fierce energies & the graceful prowel. The gold is inviting a touch of renaissance with an aim to evoke the masterpiece in you.
Core Intention
In preparing this artwork it was important that the application of 24K gold be a lighter, almost creamy gold in order to illuminate the dream-like quality invoked through this imagery. This image is an ode to lucid dreaming, to letting your head completely disappear and float into the stratosphere so that your heART and core can take center stage, finally having enough quiet to tell their stories and share their interpretations of the life you are living. There is nothing more beautiful than being able to surrender to the magnetism of your own heART’s calling. Allowing beauty to abound and surround.
this image was created in collaboration with painter Amanda Sage, assistant to Ernest Fuch, who was the primary assistant to Salvador Dali for over thirty years.
Fibonacci Love Affair
This image illustrates the consciousness of the infinite. Evoking the principles of physics and light. Everything that is shaped in the physical realms is born out of stardust. Fibonacci’s mathematical sequence can be found in nature's patterns and has been sited as evidence of a universe designed for love. Every molecule contains these complex sequences and sacred geometrical patterns which magnetize unity amongst all physical structures. As the Fibonacci sequence is directly related to the golden ratio, this image has been created using 24k gold to illuminate the precision & intelligence in all scalable patterns of nature.
Girl in House
An Ode to Picasso
printed on abalone, This abstraction is based on a vision of night swimming amongst phosphorescence. Replacing the blue waves with gold to illuminate the riches of our vast oceans and reveling in the fact that we get to be a drop within this intoxicating mAstery.
Picasso's work is largely inspired by the onset of photography. When He saw his friend's photographs of people swimming underwater, it inspired him to paint fractured beings based on the swimmers' bodies which were fragmented by the water. This artwork is an ode to the ways we inspire one another throughout
space & time.
The Fullest Bloom:
Robins Egg & Gold
This retro-inspired mirroring effect allows the blooms to have a dimensionality which is dramatic and draws us into the detail, while simultaneously reflecting glimpses of the world around it. Like a kaleidoscope, it changes as the world turns around it.
Gold is the color of the gods. Throughout history and across the globe it is revered as a sacred element. Bringing gold into our living spaces is auspicious, allowing for many layers of metaphor and good fortune, while highlighting the details in the branches and the subtle beauty of each petal.
Rorschach’s Muse
In "Rorschach's Muse," the artist explores the enigmatic interplay between perception and inspiration. like the Rorschach test, the artwork invites viewers to delve into their subconscious and interpret the abstract forms that emerge. It serves as a reflection of the intricate relationship between the human psyche and the muse.
