I am a painter and for years, as a result of my spiritual journey, I created Spirit Houses for friends and family. They are all unique and varied architectural forms. The backgrounds and foregrounds are all golden, representing the source of light that we all share as Spiritual Beings and the forms are black, representing our humanness and how we present ourselves on the planet.
In October of 2000, I was at a Bette Midler concert, celebrating my sister-in-laws 60th birthday (during a hurricane). As I sat there, listening and watching her amazing talent and personality, I wondered how I could ever create a Spirit House for someone I don't know. It occurred to me to use the astrological glyphs, as my muse, for the houses. After all, there are only twelve of us all over the world. Over the course of two years, I created the paintings and then had them reproduced using a giclée printing method.
It has been a dream of mine to create the houses live size and that has become a reality. Now I would like to see them three dimensional.
My hope is that the Astrological Spirit Houses will be a reminder of our oneness.
