Transmigration of Soul
Throughout my career, my art has focused on the cycles of nature, including life, death, metamorphosis, regeneration and ascension. I began my professional life, working in inner cities, focused on community revitalization. For the past twenty-three years I’ve worked professionally with those touched by cancer, traumatic brain injury, mental illness, dementia, autism and other conditions of serious illness and disability. Simultaneously in my personal life, I lost two of my closest friends to untimely deaths, as well as the loss of my parents who thankfully, enjoyed long, happy lives. In total, my initially abstract concerns deepened in meaning through concrete realities.
