"Body Voyage - Return to the Sacred"
is a continuation of my journey of self-discovery
of identity since graduating from Brock
University in 1989. This body of work explored
the notion of identity as it relates to the body,
femininity, home, consciousness, emotions, and
spirituality. I am currently returning to the
swimmer image as a metaphor now for yoga
meditation. This work was inspired by my
underwater snorkeling pictures from 2004
Dominican trip and by the spiritual wisdom of my
guru Paramahansa Yogananda. Yogananda's writings
and wisdom contains much symbolism of water for
union with the Creator and Universal
Consciousness identity. Like Yoga, snorkeling is
a very peaceful and meditative activity that
leaves one with a greater feeling of peace and
oneness.
My water paintings in the pass described
metaphorically lifeís journey such as: drifting,
keeping afloat, Venus, clam digging clan, storms,
calmness, travel, mastery, well spring, erosion
process, sea shells, etc. In this show I am
using my experience of snorkeling to create works
that speak specifically of yoga science such as
restlessness, light floatation of the body, focus
concentration on breath, vibrations, om, life
force control and meditative state of being one
with the material matter world and beyond.
In the past she has won awards in Juried Shows in
Ontario one award of merit for her swimmer
drawing, honorary mention for transfer work, a
Gerald Gunter Humanity Award, and two best in
show awards for my portraiture work. Her art
works are being sold at the Burlington Art Centre
Art Ectera shop, the Art Gallery of Hamilton's
Art Rental and Shop, Brantford's Art Block's
Shop, and Arts Hamilton Boutique. In 2006 she
turned her attention to teaching art with classes
in oil painting, drawing botanical and wildlife
subject matter, and transfer art techniques at
the Burlington Art Center, and the Royal
Botanical Gardens in Burlington.
