This piece is extremely special to me, as it depicts a friend whom Ive been lucky to know for many years now. We Connected through the limitless portal that is the internet. We've grown and changed, and shared much of our individual journeys in conversation . particularly our spiritual adventures. Always sending love from afar, always aware that Im lucky to share this journey despite the massive distance thats between us. Meg has inspired me through her journeys in life, within and with her constant desire to better herself and overcome obstacles and life challenges, some of which we have both shared in common. This painting was inspired by an original photograph of Meg taken by American photographer Carlton Ward. This painting was featured in Campbelltown City Art Gallery in 2017 as part of the Hear Me, See Me Exhibition in support of mental health awareness in Australia. . . . The fire in her, incessant, unquenchable the thirst for voyages never concludes our lives upon radiant and parallel bands and ceaselessly, folding into creases she is saturated in purple she is imbued in white there are florets in her mind there are mandalas in her flight pirouetting in the movements of awakening the nature of this earthly blood she dances in the rivers she is naked in the mire I am sure I’ve seen her before in some other worldly trial she liquesces into her flood unbound from what she shuns what comes to her is magic and what comes from her is love . . .
