“Comes COYOTE!”:  A
Reliquary © 2007
26x 20” mixed media

The fool, the trickster, Coyote, the
god dog lives, dies, and lives again.
When we least expect it, coyote
trips us up, snaps at our ankle and
makes us pay attention and laugh at
life. Deathbringer, dawnsinger,
howling moon dog of the soul, she
trots over us making tracks, tracks,
tracks---until we get it right---only
to return again to challenge our
thinking…

"WILDERNESS...Preservation of the World"
20x 24" mixed media

Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park Artist-in-Residence. Original
donated to the
"Friends of the Porkies", Ontonogan, MI.

This mixed media piece tells the tale of preservation of wilderness and
Thoreau's quote on wildness. Layers of life, flora and fauna, predator and
prey, are held in balance. Lake Superior crashes, rivers run, mountains
crumble, falcons take flight---freedom, wildness---ever moving, ever
changing. Layer upon layer life goes on, and the human hand holds reaches
out to grasp these moments of wildness.

"River Song:  Altered Guitar"©
(Mixed Media)

)A celebration and honoring of river life,
its music, and all life connected to it.
Damselflies dance, salmon schools
skitter, and swallows sweep over the
frets to the rustle of cottonwood leaves
and riffles over rock---all under the eyes
of kingfisher, heron, doe and fawn, and
mystical muse. Life ever moving with
Michigan river names inscribed on the
strap...
"From the mist to the cloud, to the river
to the ground...water journey on..."

SOLD        
(Guitar, watercolor, brass wire, fibers,
feather, fern, watercolor paper and
canvas)
"Like layers of leaves falling, like moments
overlapping, it is being in the present--it is life
happening."

“Into the River”  18 x 24”
(Layered Mixed Media)

As Heraclitus, the Greek
philosopher, once said,
“You
can not step twice into the
same river”
. The current of life
is endless. Everything changes,
nothing remains, everything
flows, nothing stands still. The
river of time rushes downstream
over slippery rocks, collects in
pools to ultimately travel back
to its source. Life without end.
Journey with end.

Here otter and turtle, eagle and
warbler, all, depend on the
river--all live with the flow.

"Sleeping Beauty" © 16 x 20”
(Layered Mixed Media)

“We know sunlight moves through us.
Water moves through us. Everything
moves. Everything comes back. Back
from the darkness. And the Earth is
green again.”   
           Susan Griffin

This fen, this Sleeping Beauty of
northern Michigan holds a mystical
silence as if in slumber. To stumble
upon a fen untouched is a rare treat
these days. To experience the
delicate beauty of fen plants tucked
in among cedars and tamaracks gives
one a sense of going back into an
ancient time. A time of dreams.
