ARTIST STATEMENT
I believe that artists can play an important role in helping women of the Third Millennium realize their full potentials. As an artist I work to create a visual experience that will encourage women to feel confident that they have the ability, strength and resources to take control of their life. Ultimately, this can help us all become more whole and more human.
The purpose of Isis Rising is to create images to help women visualize themselves in a liberating light that is inspiring and empowering. To achieve this renewed sense of self the viewer is encouraged to associate the female images in these paintings and drawings with the goddess Isis. The images here are not an idealized vision of the goddess but rather a very human person who embodies various qualities of the goddess. In this way the images can provide a way for the viewer to identify with the goddess figure in Nature (Meditation gallery) as well as on a personal level (Woman & Mirror, Communion, Femina, and Blue Lumina galleries), and spiritual level(Mandala gallery).
Such a personal vision of oneself can eventually allow the goddess who has lived within us since the dawn of womankind to be awakened. I believe such an awakening can lead us into intimate attunement to the Great Mother of Earth and the Cosmic Energies.
A liberated woman true to her inner goddess can also help the man in her life gain a deeper respect for her. I think this is vitally important if we are to escape the crippling abuses of the past and present and move into the Third Millennium with a renewed sense of dignity and self-worth, true to the spirit of the goddess Isis.
