Transformative Art

Stepping into my world as an artist.


I’ve been a closeted artist for most of my life. That is to say, until 2017 I had not displayed my art to anyone other than family and friends. My moniker “The Healing Artist” has put me in a precarious spot, for I have been, for over thirty years, facilitating creativity and personal transformation workshops (more at www.thehealingartist.com) to empower others.


Art is a big part of who I am and it has  empowered me through the most difficult times. It was only after my beloved partner Max Middleton passed into the Great Beyond in 2012, did I recognize I had put my own creative exploration on the back-burner of my artistic hob.  


I thought long and hard about my self-imposed exile and decided to pursue my art seriously (even though I focus on my art with humor and persistence)!


Years ago an acquaintance offered a tidy sum for my small sculpture of the goddess on her throne nursing a child with the world at her feet. (pictured >>>)At the time I was so timid about my work, I could not part with my creation. I keep it as a reminder.


Now I’ve got my artistic "balls" and am willing to let go of my creations (except for aforementioned sculpture). When a piece  speaks to you in ways you wish to purchase, let me know!

One more thing...I'm based in Austin, Texas now. Be sure to check out the East Austin studio tours every November,and I see people by appointment in person and by zoom.
