The Body

It took a long time for me to figure out how to channel my energy effectively. Anger, the result of my reaction to the world, would get me off track. But, the right path has always been there; I have just needed to develop my focus and dedication to make sure that I stay on it.

That anger, it shows in the face you see. Lines were cut deep from many years of frustration and loss of self, as I navigated my identity as a 60s scoop survivor , and as a confused entrepreneur battling the realities of commerce in a cut throat society of globalization. While I still fear the repercussions of the global social paralysis that ignores our current climate crisis, I move with urgency and strong intention every-day, all day. It's exciting, exhausting, and is a matter of survival. To meet these challenges, I have needed to start by strengthening my physical self to prepare for rigours of the path I have chosen to walk.

The body is form, however the body is electric. In these photos, I see the forms that took discipline to sculpt; this is the result of wanting to heal. I also see and feel the electricity, and remember the fierce determination and frequencies it took to succeed, and ultimately to survive. It took a well rounded balance of all aspects of my being. This site is designed to take you from the start of the art. Me. Myself in form. Myself in frequency. My finest self to date, self-happy and strong enough to put myself on the frontlines of a competitive world in visual and performing art.

My paintings, songs, dance, and writings all became their best when I first focused on my body, its chemistry, and how physical activity benefited my spirit and empowered its intentions. So, each of my days starts with that: taking care of the physical body that carries this electric spirit. Physical activity at the beginning of the day gives me the time to set my intentions, remind myself of my goals, and to focus on staying on the right path to achieving them.
