Three years ago I was sitting on my couch and camping out in misery. In my deepest of yearnings, I wished for my heart to just be happy or else just give up altogether. As I sat there, I felt a strong “feeling” or a telepathic message fill my veins. What was said to me was (and not in these exact words as feelings can only be translated into English), “Create your deep feelings and insecurities onto paper through art. Do it now, don’t wait. You can do it. You must do it or you will never wake up.”

Well I wasn’t an artist. However, what came through amazed me. I created a tree woman (I don’t know why. I guess to me it signified strength, faith, change and feeling alone among others standing beside me) and that step of faith I took opened doors and my eyes to many different experiences.

Two years into creating these tree women (recapitulating my past, rising above, looking outward and creating others besides myself) I started seeing “spirits” or faces in my art. I began having dreams of the deceased, as if they were giving me messages to pass on. One dream that stuck with me was about lady Di. In my dream she followed me into a restaurant and sat down in front of me. I could “feel” that she was very hungry and she told me with her mind that I fed her soul as she devoured a sandwich. Being insecure and unsure of myself by nature, I continue to question why these dreams are occurring, why I see spirits in my creations and what is the meaning behind it all? All I know is that I cannot stop or give up faith that the meaning will become clear and that I must heed to the call of the spirits and present them to you…
