Collection: Hysterical

I paint because I love the challenge of getting an expression right, and I have so much fun doing it. I wanted to take that skill and celebrate women’s anger. For centuries women have been silenced by shame, by institutionalization, by being burned at the stake. We have come a long way because our sisters before us used their anger to fuel action into change. I feel it is our responsibility to use our anger to create change for our sisters that will come after us.   

Transforming everyday women into dark matrons of rage has been exhilarating. I have the privilege to speak with each woman at length. I need to know what they are the maddest about, and what are they doing, or want to do to bring about change.  I create an affirmation with the responses of each woman.  I take that affirmation and weave it into the mandalas using sigil work, a form of symbol magic.  Giving each woman their own crown full of power shows them as the Goddesses that they are. They change everything they touch and everything they touch changes.     We must release ego attachments, connect with hidden wisdom, and take dynamic action to heal conditions of unfairness and oppression.
