Since 1982, I’ve been involved in women’s spirituality and Goddess communities, leading sacred circles and rites of passage. This experience enriches my unique teaching style.
Although self-taught in art, I’ve studied under various independent teachers and graduated from the Color of Woman art school in Sonoma, California. I’m also a certified Art Therapy Life Coach from Udemy University, integrating therapeutic art, particularly smash booking, into my courses.
I’ve led small groups in the Women Unleashed Inner Circle Community and have been teaching art journaling, altered books, and mixed media since 2018.
I may not be the best artist or have the largest class sizes, but I offer deep experience, knowledge, and wisdom in guiding women into soulful, creative practices. My teaching embraces women’s mysteries, the Sacred Feminine, and a joyful, magical life.
Whether you join me alone or with 200 others, you’ll receive the full quality of what I have to offer. I have soul-based spirituality and a deep love for creating, and I’m dedicated to helping your inner light shine brighter.
Every art journal is personal, this one focuses on 2021 and the emotions of life during a year of lock down.
My artistic journey began in childhood with a passion for colors and shapes. In my teens, I experimented with mediums like watercolors and charcoal to express my inner world.
As a child, I often drew on walls at night and sketched on my sister's back to help her sleep. Summer skies served as a vast canvas, with clouds morphing into images. Sticks became paint brushes in mud and sand, while recesses were spent drawing "dolls" for classmates.
My doodling evolved from diaries to art journals. In high school, I molded clay, designed clothes, and played guitar, emulating Joni Mitchell. Eventually, I painted sunsets that moved me to tears and crafted postcard quilts from fabric pieces.
My artistic philosophy centers on connecting with nature to create transformative, healing art that fosters connection and understanding.
Years of skill development led me to teach workshops and create online courses, forming a community of like-minded artists."
I explored earth pigments, painting sacred shields, rattles, drums, and faces with moon blood. Full moons always fill me with light, revealing my identity as a "moon child" early on. The sacred Faery mounds of Ireland awaken ancient memories.
Writing poems and lyrics, I illustrate the inarticulate and guide kindred spirits into the Otherworld. Mystical visions swirl around me, inspiring my art, whether on canvas, paper, or found materials. The ocean's rhythm and sunset's brilliance ground and renew me, fueling my artistry and affirming my worth.
I matter. I am enough.
I Matter. I AM enough.
I guess you can say I am obsessed with anything creative because I don't know how not to be creative.
I have a strong feeling I am Like YOU!
Since becoming a published author in 1989, I've written 9 non-fiction books and 8 novels, including my latest, "In Search of the Beloved," detailed in my BOOKS section.
Before the pandemic, I was a Holy Fire II Karuna Reiki Master/Teacher with a private healing practice. Now, I offer treatments only to family, friends, and my puppy.
I cherish the supernatural, nature, and life. In my free time, I enjoy playing Elder Scrolls Online, Fallout 76, and Minecraft on Xbox as FlowerChild.
Most days, I create in my studio, teach Zoom art classes, stream on Twitch, write, or walk on the beach with Jack and our puppy, Gracie.
In 2022 I received a SLEA 6-mos grant. My project was titled "Temple of the Divine Feminine". Though I was the recipient of the grant, I broadened the project, turning it into a Women's Artist Collective.
The machinima "TheTarot Garden" is a journey across the 22 Major Arcana in the, virtual, Tarot Garden at Lea17 in SL. Tarot Garden was a 6-mos Installation by SecondHandTutti, on display from 11 August - to 30 December, 2018. It was inspired to the art park "Tarot Garden" created by Niki de Saint Phalle on the hill of Garavicchio in Capalbio, Tuscan Maremma in Italy (from 1979 to 1996). The special effects with particles, in the main titles, and the "Tarot Carousel" at 6 minute of the machinima, are a creation by Venus Adored. Soundtrack from YouTube: Bliss - Don't Look Back, Shinnobu-Indigo The outfit "The Fool " was a gift by SecondHandTutti and is worn, in the machinima, by Wizardoz Chrome. SHT is one of my aliases.
