Artist Statement
There is a harmonious body of light available to us when we are on our true path and being honest with ourselves about what we need, despite the risks that may require we take.
At one point in my life I experienced chronic back pain. I had an injury that never seemed to heal. It began to dawn on me through dreams that perhaps the dis-ease my body was experiencing was not entirely physical. I began to work with an alternative healer and during the visualization process I saw the honeycomb shapes that permeate this work.The honeycomb represented cells of the body. Some were dark and some were filled with golden light. It seemed that the dark ones were filled with painful memories and unresolved emotions.
The pattern also came to represent the sometimes ineffable order of the universe.In effect the pain set me on a path of understanding the relationship between the spiritual realm and my physical body and how the soul speaks through symptoms when we fail to listen to its other voices—feelings, dreams and intuition. When we align our minds with the highest truths about ourselves and our destiny, we are sometimes able to heal our physical bodies.

AUM is layered acrylic paint, iridescent dry pigment and powdered graphite with acrylic medium. The light play on this painting is tremendous. The title AUM refers the chant used in meditation which represents the sound the universe makes.
AUM also refers to the three states of consciousness: Sleeping, Waking and Transcendent. In aligning the three states, we achieve enlightenment.
The honeycomb grid represents a seemingly random but essentially ordered universe and events. Triptych structure references the concurrent existence of the three states of consciousness.
