And if so, when did this start for you? I was very fortunate enough to grow up in the Piedmont of Virginia in the countryside. 31 00:03:33,68.2095 --> 00:03:33,638.2095 And. 32 00:03:34,878.2095 --> 00:03:41,758.2095 My mother is an animal lover, so I just, I always had animals around, and it has always made more sense to me. 33 00:03:41,988.2095 --> 00:03:46,628.2075 Sometimes more than interacting with humans, I've gotten better at interacting with humans. 34 00:03:46,698.2085 --> 00:03:48,958.209 And I love and appreciate that much more now. 35 00:03:49,658.209 --> 00:03:58,43.109 But growing up as an only child, I had human friends, but the animals and plants were always more my friends than anything. 36 00:03:58,563.108 --> 00:04:11,603.107 I did a lot of playing in the woods and being in that, in the presence of nature and having your imagination as a child run wild when you're in that space it felt like there was this presence there. 37 00:04:11,753.107 --> 00:04:13,373.107 And I, I still feel that today. 38 00:04:14,163.107 --> 00:04:21,203.107 How do you use this awareness and this connection that you have with nature within your art, because you are a visionary artist. 39 00:04:21,203.107 --> 00:04:25,293.106 How does that connect? I love working. 40 00:04:25,343.106 --> 00:04:26,983.107 I love working with plants. 41 00:04:27,63.107 --> 00:04:28,323.107 I love working with nature. 42 00:04:28,333.107 --> 00:04:37,983.107 I love the, there's something about, and anyone can experience this, whether or not you're an artist or not, whatever profession you have. 43 00:04:38,583.107 --> 00:04:45,193.106 But being still in nature and dropping in, connecting. 44 00:04:45,898.107 --> 00:04:58,628.1075 With our Mama Gaia and all these other various spirits and entities when we become open to that channel it's very important for my mental health and for my, my, my spirit and my emotional health. 45 00:04:58,808.1065 --> 00:05:08,708.1065 It feels very grounding and supporting, and there are a lot of things I see when I drop into that space. 46 00:05:09,983.1065 --> 00:05:21,603.0065 Could be for a minute, could be for an hour, could be for a whole afternoon, but there's so much magic that it's it's like this cosmic wink, cosmic giggle that I see happening. 47 00:05:21,913.0055 --> 00:05:31,603.0055 I love patterns the leaves and the way the light plays with things and the way the wind moves through it's everything is this beautiful unfolding of energetic. 48 00:05:33,258.0055 --> 00:05:33,528.0055 patterning. 49 00:05:34,768.0055 --> 00:05:42,408.0065 And of course, that goes on into the patterns we can see like within our relationships and with our, within ourselves and our conditioning. 50 00:05:42,428.0055 --> 00:05:44,618.0045 It's just this beautiful fractalizing of patterns. 51 00:05:46,488.0055 --> 00:05:50,248.0055 So when you say that, we talked a little bit about your human design. 52 00:05:50,268.0055 --> 00:05:55,38.0055 When you're talking, there's a twinge, the 18 is in your conscious son. 53 00:05:55,38.0055 --> 00:06:04,478.0055 So your son is The energy that you're here, to be when you're in fully alignment, the energy that your body and the 18 is all about patterns. 54 00:06:04,708.0055 --> 00:06:07,868.0045 It's all about I did too. 55 00:06:07,868.0045 --> 00:06:08,118.0045 I did. 56 00:06:08,118.1045 --> 00:06:18,348.0045 It's about seeing the patterns and noticing what can be shifted in them to create something new or to create refinement. 57 00:06:18,968.0045 --> 00:06:28,108.0045 It's interesting that you found that in nature and it's beautiful that you found that in nature because Your Incarnation Cross has a name of the upheaval. 58 00:06:29,58.0045 --> 00:06:30,798.0045 It's it can be intense. 59 00:06:31,348.0045 --> 00:06:44,888.0035 But when you think about how you were able to be in nature and ground, as you said, into that, then you notice the patterns and upheavals and you said relationship patterns and all that. 60 00:06:45,258.0035 --> 00:06:50,608.0045 You notice all that but from a grounded space, not from a space of externally looking. 61 00:06:50,608.0045 --> 00:06:50,798.0045 Thank you. 62 00:06:51,563.0045 --> 00:06:52,133.0045 Something. 63 00:06:53,43.0045 --> 00:06:53,613.0045 Exactly. 64 00:06:54,93.0045 --> 00:06:55,923.0045 Yeah, It's beautiful. 65 00:06:55,983.0045 --> 00:06:56,433.0045 It's beautiful. 66 00:06:56,463.0045 --> 00:06:56,643.0045 Thank you. 67 00:06:56,643.0045 --> 00:06:58,653.0045 I love it when things act like that. 68 00:06:58,733.0045 --> 00:06:58,973.0045 Yeah. 69 00:06:59,78.0045 --> 00:07:04,533.0045 I'm always just I see I see that Let's talk about your art. 70 00:07:04,533.0045 --> 00:07:27,203.0045 Your art does show commitment to refining and perfecting your creative process, how do you balance the drive for Improvement with the need to embrace the natural flow of imperfection that often comes with the creativity? I wouldn't I don't really feel as though it's always just been whenever I'm painting. 71 00:07:27,203.0045 --> 00:07:38,398.0045 It's about having fun And if anything that's a big part of why I do that is because it's this container, which allows me to let go of everything else. 72 00:07:39,378.0035 --> 00:07:47,918.0055 And at the same time I have, I always have had just this make it like, make it sharper, refine it, make it better. 73 00:07:47,958.0055 --> 00:07:56,498.1055 How can this be better? So when I'm doing things beyond painting always, there's always this observed observation going on. 74 00:07:56,548.1055 --> 00:07:59,448.1055 And I love learning. 75 00:07:59,698.1055 --> 00:08:07,218.1045 So I feel I can feel like the information coming in and then getting processed and it's okay, how can this be improved upon? Ooh, that's good. 76 00:08:07,408.1055 --> 00:08:13,778.1065 But this little bit could tighten this up a little bit And Ooh, like that, that brushstroke, made this shape and that's really good. 77 00:08:13,828.1065 --> 00:08:18,688.1065 But if I do, add a little bit of flair to it, then it'll just make it a little better. 78 00:08:19,288.1055 --> 00:08:24,638.1055 Or I learn about oops, like this step, I can save a lot of time. 79 00:08:24,998.1065 --> 00:08:32,868.1065 And headache through the mistakes that I've learned with painting and it's oh, okay this didn't work last time, remember it for the last painting. 80 00:08:33,48.1075 --> 00:08:46,168.107 I'm always able to make a correction if I make an error, but it's every single time I paint, each painting there's always like a, Oh, this is something like I'm going to take this little nugget and I'm apply it to the next painting that I create. 81 00:08:46,778.107 --> 00:09:06,678.106 Such as with life, as far as I would say this past year, I've brought more intention because it's, like we, we get, we can get like really obsessive almost about refining, make it smaller, cut it smaller, like the sharp, the sharper you can sharpen your knife, the finer you can cut it and it just keeps on going. 82 00:09:07,288.106 --> 00:09:12,338.106 And I realized I was getting to this place with my art where it was feeling a little. 83 00:09:14,948.106 --> 00:09:17,928.106 And and also things are taking a really long time. 84 00:09:18,418.106 --> 00:09:21,978.107 This painting here probably has 70 hours in it. 85 00:09:22,908.107 --> 00:09:29,338.008 And I realized I want to like make stuff, be able to make stuff a little bit faster. 86 00:09:29,568.008 --> 00:09:33,538.007 And I want to play around with different artistic styles, still me. 87 00:09:34,328.007 --> 00:09:37,923.007 I had a painting deadline for within three days I had to paint something. 88 00:09:37,923.007 --> 00:09:42,613.007 And so I was like, all right, it's just gonna be loose, and I'm just gonna be bigger. 89 00:09:42,613.007 --> 00:09:45,988.007 And I'm just the point is just letting go and just let go. 90 00:09:46,598.007 --> 00:09:47,878.007 And it was a lot of fun. 91 00:09:48,348.007 --> 00:09:49,308.007 It was a lot of fun. 92 00:09:49,458.007 --> 00:09:54,158.007 And I've developed new things that I've been able to incorporate them back into. 93 00:09:54,988.007 --> 00:09:57,488.007 That that really tight, refined style. 94 00:09:58,178.007 --> 00:10:00,798.007 I hope that answers the question. 95 00:10:00,798.007 --> 00:10:07,488.007 It does, and it gives it gives even more clarity in your connection to your authenticity and yourself. 96 00:10:07,518.006 --> 00:10:10,158.006 Because the 18 is about refinement. 97 00:10:10,498.007 --> 00:10:18,558.007 But in the lowest expression, it is about judgment, and it's about that stuckness, and it's about perfectionism. 98 00:10:18,928.007 --> 00:10:44,43.007 So then, how can I release that a little bit so I can be more authentic in my expression and trust? So you just explained it perfectly, And the cool thing is like with a painting is it's if I do something that I like, and it's a little too loose, it can always just be the study and I can paint it again in that really tight at that point, I would have already worked out some things I think that's that element of play, there needs to be space for play. 99 00:10:44,908.007 --> 00:10:54,208.007 Yeah, not just the judgment and the restriction, because if you live that way, within the way that you express yourself in your paintings, then you're going to live that way within your life, too. 100 00:10:54,278.007 --> 00:10:54,898.007 Exactly. 101 00:10:55,98.007 --> 00:10:55,288.007 Yep. 102 00:10:56,168.007 --> 00:10:56,408.007 Yep. 103 00:10:56,618.006 --> 00:11:00,548.006 You articulate well through your ideas, through your work, your visionary ideas. 104 00:11:00,568.006 --> 00:11:01,228.006 Thank you. 105 00:11:01,488.006 --> 00:11:02,238.006 You're welcome. 106 00:11:02,768.006 --> 00:11:21,808.007 How do you ensure that these ideas remain flexible? Open to evolution while providing a clear grounded perspective And then do you find that because you have a lot of logic as well Do you find that your logical approach to creativity enhances or complicates? Self expression. 107 00:11:24,168.006 --> 00:11:38,83.007 So as far as like the self expression part goes, that's always it's always coming from the heart So always feeling into things and from there You I'll get visions or I'll daydream about things. 108 00:11:38,673.007 --> 00:11:41,373.007 So that's always at the foundation is that heart centeredness. 109 00:11:42,123.007 --> 00:11:49,443.007 And from there, I bring in the logic for the design and for the technical execution. 110 00:11:50,43.008 --> 00:11:54,593.008 And there's definitely been some times when like I, I hit something. 111 00:11:55,143.008 --> 00:11:58,863.008 I'll almost actually just feel like a little bit of frustration when I'm painting. 112 00:11:59,253.008 --> 00:12:02,843.008 And I always know if that happens, like I need to put my paintbrushes down for a minute. 113 00:12:03,403.008 --> 00:12:05,683.008 I usually go out in the garden or go for a walk. 114 00:12:06,163.007 --> 00:12:10,633.0055 But yeah, I just make sure I'm not ever forcing when I'm creating. 115 00:12:11,773.0055 --> 00:12:13,703.0065 There are a lot of things I love to do. 116 00:12:14,838.0065 --> 00:12:24,598.0055 I love carpentry I love gardening, it's endless I'm a big can I do that myself? This is cool, like, how can I figure out how to do that? And if I can, I will. 117 00:12:24,978.0055 --> 00:12:24,998.0055 Yeah. 118 00:12:27,18.0055 --> 00:12:34,458.0055 Artist is like one of my hat it's definitely probably my favorite hat and one that I'm the best at because I put the most time into that. 119 00:12:34,488.0055 --> 00:12:40,368.0025 But because I have so many hats, whatever hat I feel like wearing, I go with the energy where that's taking me. 120 00:12:40,398.0035 --> 00:12:45,968.0035 And that's always usually supportive of helping keeping things balanced and in check. 121 00:12:45,968.0035 --> 00:12:49,728.0025 So it's one's not too over, overbearing. 122 00:12:50,518.0035 --> 00:12:59,353.0035 Yeah, it sounds like you are in touch with your intuition and your oh, yeah, you're off that's how the painting started for me, really. 123 00:12:59,453.0035 --> 00:13:16,233.056 It was way more intuitively based, and I would say in the last two, three years, I've brought more of the logic into it, where it's okay what's something else I can say? And it's always, I'm just reflecting, I'm working through my own stuff, where I'm just like, I like that looks neat. 124 00:13:16,733.056 --> 00:13:18,133.056 I've taken five different. 125 00:13:19,338.056 --> 00:13:29,253.056 Things and put them into one thing and like object I've painted and it's what is this like I'm seeing Like, I'm seeing a tower, I'm seeing a flower. 126 00:13:29,253.056 --> 00:13:30,693.056 I'm seeing a pool of blood. 127 00:13:30,693.056 --> 00:13:32,583.056 I'm seeing like something really alien. 128 00:13:32,583.056 --> 00:13:36,63.056 And it's fun taking different things like that and mushing 'em together. 129 00:13:36,63.056 --> 00:13:38,163.056 'cause that throws like logic out. 130 00:13:38,163.056 --> 00:13:40,8.056 I more abstract. 131 00:13:40,573.056 --> 00:13:48,303.056 I love that you just brought that, the next thing I was going to ask was given your strong connection to logic and thinking and structure. 132 00:13:49,278.056 --> 00:13:54,128.056 How you use your art to translate abstract concepts like oneness. 133 00:13:54,748.056 --> 00:14:05,398.056 Multidimensionalism into something that resonates with your audience Is that something that you think about with it resonating or is it just who you be and then? It just literally it's who I be. 134 00:14:05,508.056 --> 00:14:24,303.056 Yeah, I make art for me and if you like it great but at the end of the day i'm here to be doing this because It just it lights me up with so much joy And I think at the end of the day, that's the most important thing and if other people get to enjoy You The ripple effect of that for my offerings. 135 00:14:24,703.056 --> 00:14:25,83.056 Great. 136 00:14:25,513.056 --> 00:14:26,93.056 Yeah. 137 00:14:26,93.156 --> 00:14:34,643.055 You have this deep self of, I'm just reflecting this back to you because I can feel your energy. 138 00:14:34,643.056 --> 00:14:43,543.055 You have this deep self of knowing yourself, groundedness, authenticity, and not looking externally for validation of your gifts. 139 00:14:46,223.056 --> 00:14:49,683.056 Which is beautiful because that's hard to find in a lot of worlds. 140 00:14:49,713.056 --> 00:14:50,673.055 I wasn't always like that. 141 00:14:52,53.056 --> 00:14:59,403.156 Before I started painting like when I was basically like up to 24 Yeah, I looked a lot to others for validation. 142 00:14:59,793.156 --> 00:15:03,853.156 I was still, I was just still growing and searching and finding myself. 143 00:15:03,853.156 --> 00:15:07,373.155 And I was experiencing a lot of hard things. 144 00:15:07,903.156 --> 00:15:26,663.155 And I also hadn't learned, or I hadn't come into alignment with the frequency that was bringing in teachers like Ellen Osho all those teachings and philosophies, they just, I just really resonated, they made a lot of sense. 145 00:15:26,953.155 --> 00:15:34,363.155 And when I started practicing those myself, I was like, I felt so freed and liberated. 146 00:15:34,453.154 --> 00:15:41,583.155 And I, it was this veil had been opened and it was like, Oh, I'm here and I get to have this relationship with me. 147 00:15:42,153.155 --> 00:15:45,693.155 And that's the first one we always have. 148 00:15:45,703.155 --> 00:15:45,723.155 Yeah. 149 00:15:46,493.155 --> 00:15:50,363.055 Regardless of who comes and goes, we always have this relationship with ourselves. 150 00:15:51,183.055 --> 00:15:56,353.055 It's almost like I was doing preemptive Saturn return work. 151 00:15:56,793.055 --> 00:16:00,533.054 So when my Saturn return came around, there was some stuff going on, but it was also I got this. 152 00:16:00,783.054 --> 00:16:01,263.054 It's okay. 153 00:16:01,363.054 --> 00:16:02,123.054 I'm ready for this. 154 00:16:02,433.054 --> 00:16:02,813.054 Yeah. 155 00:16:03,303.054 --> 00:16:05,543.054 I love that you know about Saturn return. 156 00:16:05,773.054 --> 00:16:14,823.052 Knowing about it and understanding it helps you acknowledge all this stuff that you're going through and letting yourself know of course this is happening and it's okay. 157 00:16:14,873.052 --> 00:16:20,663.051 Your work also challenges the status quo and provokes thought. 158 00:16:21,93.051 --> 00:16:34,558.052 So how do you navigate the balance between encouraging your audience to think differently and avoiding unnecessary conflict? I don't know if I ever take those into consideration. 159 00:16:34,708.052 --> 00:16:36,268.052 At least with with my art. 160 00:16:36,498.052 --> 00:16:40,138.052 When I'm speaking I definitely take those things into consideration. 161 00:16:40,248.051 --> 00:16:48,268.051 With my art, it's just that's stuff that's within me that I'm choosing to bring out and translate into the physical so that I can see it. 162 00:16:48,488.051 --> 00:16:54,558.051 And is this act of vulnerability, but I'm also just If you don't like it, it's not, whatever. 163 00:16:55,108.051 --> 00:17:07,738.0515 I think the things that we are needing in our lives to provoke us to maybe shake things up a little bit, those come to us in whatever shape or form that will best serve us. 164 00:17:07,788.0515 --> 00:17:11,58.0515 And when I received that through art, I love receiving it that way. 165 00:17:11,358.0515 --> 00:17:14,18.0515 It feels a lot more personal. 166 00:17:14,328.0515 --> 00:17:35,218.0515 It feels a lot more intimate and one on one because it is, it's something where something that someone, when I'm looking at someone else's art, something that they created and expressed, I'm then having this moment with it, with myself. 167 00:17:37,568.0505 --> 00:17:48,98.0495 And it's almost it's just this very private thing where unless I were to, express how a thing is making me feel or move Then nobody really knows. 168 00:17:48,108.0495 --> 00:17:55,548.0495 My intention is always that it, it gets to the people to whom it needs to get to and brings the medicine that they're needing. 169 00:17:56,48.0495 --> 00:18:05,798.0495 It seems like when you look at an art piece and it provokes you, you understand that it is then within yourself that something is coming up and then your art does do that as well. 170 00:18:05,798.0495 --> 00:18:07,168.049 It stirs emotions. 171 00:18:07,168.049 --> 00:18:07,878.0485 You're able to do that. 172 00:18:08,708.0485 --> 00:18:15,538.0485 And that's actually even maybe if you want to discuss even through conversations and connections with humans. 173 00:18:16,303.0495 --> 00:18:20,113.0495 You do have that energy of provoking, but it's through love. 174 00:18:20,143.0495 --> 00:18:32,133.0485 And you've already talked about like the heart space that you're in that space, which means you then provoke people to grow and evolve through love, where there is a lower shadow where people can provoke to just provoke. 175 00:18:33,153.0485 --> 00:18:36,943.0495 So when you think about provoking in your energy, you do this through your art. 176 00:18:36,953.0495 --> 00:18:38,183.0495 Cause I've looked at your art. 177 00:18:38,203.0495 --> 00:18:56,163.0485 Like you provoke, a person to think differently, to think more expansive or to look at the refinement or to see the subtleties, whereas they may not see that in life and you're able to provoke that frequency within them through your art. 178 00:18:57,733.0495 --> 00:18:58,963.049 That's a beautiful reflection. 179 00:18:59,13.049 --> 00:18:59,953.049 It's a Trojan horse. 180 00:18:59,953.049 --> 00:19:02,383.049 I didn't realize I was I was sending it. 181 00:19:03,443.049 --> 00:19:03,923.049 Yeah. 182 00:19:03,943.049 --> 00:19:04,533.049 I appreciate that. 183 00:19:04,583.049 --> 00:19:04,993.049 Thank you. 184 00:19:05,583.049 --> 00:19:06,313.049 You're welcome. 185 00:19:06,363.049 --> 00:19:10,973.048 That's why I feel like everyone has disconnected or a lot of people, not everyone. 186 00:19:11,413.049 --> 00:19:13,373.049 Disconnected from creativity. 187 00:19:13,393.049 --> 00:19:16,363.049 And that is why so many people are miserable. 188 00:19:16,483.049 --> 00:19:18,483.049 They're not connected to nature. 189 00:19:18,503.049 --> 00:19:19,903.049 They're not connected to themselves. 190 00:19:19,913.049 --> 00:19:21,873.048 They're not connected to their relationships. 191 00:19:22,333.049 --> 00:19:27,493.049 And it's because they've lost that connection, that creativity that you have not lost. 192 00:19:27,543.049 --> 00:19:28,423.049 You've only. 193 00:19:29,408.049 --> 00:19:34,98.049 Expanded upon because you had that love for nature. 194 00:19:34,518.049 --> 00:19:45,118.049 So to be able to bring that and you don't even know it within your art, as people look at it, you have no idea how you're affecting people and you don't even know who it is, which is such a gift. 195 00:19:45,968.049 --> 00:19:46,328.049 Yeah. 196 00:19:46,828.049 --> 00:19:53,668.049 Reminds me of that it was one of those tenants which is you do a good deed, but you don't tell the person that you do it anonymously. 197 00:19:54,178.049 --> 00:19:57,338.049 And the point is you're doing good and you're doing it because you want to do good. 198 00:19:57,338.149 --> 00:20:00,598.049 It's not about getting the, it's not about getting the reward. 199 00:20:01,328.049 --> 00:20:01,628.049 Yeah. 200 00:20:02,398.049 --> 00:20:04,548.049 that it's not for that response. 201 00:20:04,798.048 --> 00:20:26,638.047 How do you channel constructive criticism from others or yourself, and how do you move through that, or have, maybe you've already mastered that, was there a time that really affected you, and then how did you move through that? Okay, so the question is how do I receive constructive criticism, or how do I navigate through that when I am receiving it? Either through yourself or from others. 202 00:20:27,278.047 --> 00:20:29,578.047 I I have a very big internal critic. 203 00:20:29,908.047 --> 00:20:31,208.047 I've got that perfectionism. 204 00:20:31,208.047 --> 00:20:32,888.046 So I've always got that internal thing. 205 00:20:32,898.046 --> 00:20:42,398.047 So when I have received that from others depending on who it is there are some instances where it's just Okay, that's your opinion. 206 00:20:42,948.047 --> 00:20:45,858.047 There's other times when I hear it. 207 00:20:45,888.047 --> 00:20:47,528.048 I take it in and I look at it. 208 00:20:47,588.048 --> 00:21:21,508.047 I'm like, is there any validity to this? If I'm feeling resistance, why is there something deeper that I on a personal level am needing to sort through? And sometimes, too, it's no, that doesn't I, I see where they're coming from, I appreciate they're offering that, but I know the way that I want to create something, and how I want it to look, it's having discernment that's where just being centered, and knowing yourself is really important being familiar with what your intuition feels like, and If it's a maybe, it's a no. 209 00:21:21,738.047 --> 00:21:24,328.047 I want heck a geez, yeah that's what I want to feel. 210 00:21:24,588.047 --> 00:21:28,18.147 If I'm, like, a little uncertain about something, I'm just like, okay I'm just gonna wait. 211 00:21:28,438.147 --> 00:21:36,898.148 And gonna do a little bit of, vibrational tweaking and just get clear on what where and what it is. 212 00:21:37,208.148 --> 00:21:39,548.148 I'm trying to go and do and yeah. 213 00:21:40,28.148 --> 00:21:42,398.148 it sounds like you listen. 214 00:21:42,503.148 --> 00:21:42,793.148 Yeah. 215 00:21:43,398.148 --> 00:21:45,588.148 To your internal, your inner knowing. 216 00:21:46,78.148 --> 00:21:55,28.148 And there's a lot of also that connection there where some of the things in your chart, you can hear tone and you can read the truth between what is being said. 217 00:21:56,8.148 --> 00:22:07,198.147 And then it is about like listening to your own frequency, because then that attracts the frequency of others, which I feel like is this deep connection to nature that you have. 218 00:22:07,218.148 --> 00:22:10,468.148 It's really supported you in that, which you've always known. 219 00:22:11,118.147 --> 00:22:12,758.147 Yeah, definitely. 220 00:22:13,428.148 --> 00:22:19,588.148 What core beliefs drive your work? I struggle with putting putting something like that into words sometimes. 221 00:22:19,728.148 --> 00:22:23,208.147 Language is just really clumsy for that kind of thing. 222 00:22:24,728.147 --> 00:22:26,658.147 Maybe close your eyes and feel. 223 00:22:27,128.147 --> 00:22:36,303.147 what would you mind asking me the question again? What core beliefs drive Your work, and I'm gonna even add, and how you stay true to your vision. 224 00:22:36,833.147 --> 00:22:43,893.147 Love, beauty, I believe that we're all innately good. 225 00:22:46,493.147 --> 00:22:49,13.147 And Think we're here to have fun. 226 00:22:50,183.147 --> 00:22:58,103.146 We're here to learn from each other, we're here to expand, we're here to play, and it should be easy. 227 00:22:59,923.147 --> 00:23:05,813.147 And prosperous, and abundant, and joyful. 228 00:23:06,373.147 --> 00:23:10,413.147 So it's always really important that I tap into those frequencies and vibrations. 229 00:23:10,423.146 --> 00:23:10,483.146 Thank you. 230 00:23:10,863.147 --> 00:23:18,633.146 When I'm making art and really is all the time as much as I can, I can't do it all the time. 231 00:23:18,963.147 --> 00:23:26,443.147 Sometimes I get a little bit wobbly and I get grouchy and but I've gotten good about, it's oh, okay, that's a feeling and I want to honor that. 232 00:23:26,463.147 --> 00:23:38,363.1271 So I'm going to go over here and I'm going to hang out with that for a little while, but I'm going to do it, in private or, you just to make sure there's no projection going on and but but, yeah, those are really. 233 00:23:41,263.1271 --> 00:23:47,23.1271 They're definitely beliefs, but I guess I look at them more as vibrational frequencies. 234 00:23:47,473.1271 --> 00:23:57,323.1271 That feeling of those that's but it is something that I feel so deeply and with such clarity that they, that those are beliefs. 235 00:23:59,313.1261 --> 00:24:04,673.1261 It's more of a physical embodiment, right? You just experience it and feel it. 236 00:24:05,143.1261 --> 00:24:09,393.1261 And the way that I can feel this too is there's a couple of activations. 237 00:24:10,238.1261 --> 00:24:12,758.1261 That is all about the physical body for you. 238 00:24:12,788.1261 --> 00:24:17,698.1261 It is actually, it's this warrior type energy. 239 00:24:19,978.1261 --> 00:24:23,118.1261 And it's this type of energy that is like. 240 00:24:23,563.1261 --> 00:24:28,43.1261 The next question we're going to go into what you're fighting for in life. 241 00:24:28,93.1261 --> 00:24:35,283.1251 What battles do you see in life that are important for you to fight for? Because you do have that warrior type of energy. 242 00:24:35,283.1261 --> 00:24:37,133.1256 It's, there's two types of warrior types. 243 00:24:37,133.1256 --> 00:24:43,43.1251 The 38 is the type that fight for something that you believe in and you stand that ground. 244 00:24:43,103.1251 --> 00:24:46,313.1261 And then the 39 is it's called the warrior of light. 245 00:24:46,523.1261 --> 00:24:48,693.1261 So it's like these two together. 246 00:24:49,63.1261 --> 00:24:53,723.1261 Fighting for humanity, for the warrior of light, but doing it all through love, not through battle. 247 00:24:54,263.1261 --> 00:24:57,323.1261 Does that resonate? Oh, 100%. 248 00:24:57,413.1261 --> 00:25:04,443.1251 A few years ago I went through this activism phase, and, oh gosh just ultimately really didn't feel good. 249 00:25:04,523.1261 --> 00:25:05,533.1261 It just felt off. 250 00:25:05,633.1261 --> 00:25:12,53.1261 It was like, yeah, I'm doing this thing, but then there was just this I could just feel this just discomfort in my heart. 251 00:25:13,408.1261 --> 00:25:19,418.1261 And it wasn't until I was like, I just need to really quit putting my nose in places it doesn't belong. 252 00:25:19,448.1261 --> 00:25:21,628.1261 I need to like, come back to center. 253 00:25:21,628.1261 --> 00:25:28,418.1271 I need to stay focused on where's my heart calling me? Where is it pulling me? It's never led me in the wrong direction or to the wrong place. 254 00:25:29,628.1271 --> 00:26:01,38.1261 And yeah that completely resonates because that is my goal and my purpose is to shine as brightly as I can, because the more that I do that, the more I can send out those frequencies to the people around me, and the more that we're around those frequencies the more we can all lift each other up, and I want healing for all, I want expansion for all, I want love for all, and That's a cool combination. 255 00:26:01,38.1261 --> 00:26:02,138.1261 I like those two warriors. 256 00:26:02,268.1261 --> 00:26:02,658.1261 Yeah. 257 00:26:03,248.1261 --> 00:26:03,478.1261 Yeah. 258 00:26:03,538.1261 --> 00:26:09,248.0261 I can definitely relate to the, there was some big tension before I had integrated the 39 that you're talking about. 259 00:26:09,298.1261 --> 00:26:24,638.1251 That's the part, a lot of people, when you hear that, when I tell that to people in certain aspects of the energies, it is almost like an awareness and sometimes even an awakening of understanding that is a lot of what you are about and what you're here to bring. 260 00:26:24,648.1261 --> 00:26:30,258.1261 And then if you go backwards and say, okay, I actually am that light within the pictures. 261 00:26:30,258.1261 --> 00:26:45,68.1261 I make sure my frequency, my art, my painting, Is that frequency and that's what I'm bringing out and it gets to be seen everywhere and held in people's houses and that's the frequency that you're doing, which means then, oh I'm going to use bumps. 262 00:26:45,118.1261 --> 00:26:49,888.1261 It means then that you are then fighting for love of community. 263 00:26:50,448.1261 --> 00:26:51,688.1261 That's what you're fighting for. 264 00:26:51,718.1261 --> 00:26:52,48.1261 Exactly. 265 00:26:52,448.1261 --> 00:26:53,338.1261 From the place of love. 266 00:26:53,768.1261 --> 00:27:05,878.2261 And that feels really good when I when I act, you know, in the alternative way, it's, yeah, it feels full and expansive and energizing. 267 00:27:07,258.2261 --> 00:27:14,338.2251 When we talk about timing and because you mentioned before there was three days that you were creating a painting, and you let it flow. 268 00:27:14,698.2261 --> 00:27:21,618.2251 How do you balance your creative flow and Sometimes if you have certain aspects of when that something needs to be done. 269 00:27:21,778.2251 --> 00:27:26,808.2251 Usually things flow I do actually like getting to, to step away from a painting. 270 00:27:27,258.2251 --> 00:27:31,478.2251 I have, I'll have some really good things come through. 271 00:27:31,628.2251 --> 00:27:42,583.2251 So some, yeah, sometimes it, it is necessary just to, to when I have the vision of okay, I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna do that and that I'm usually looking at a painting and I'm they're always assess okay this has an area to work on. 272 00:27:42,583.2251 --> 00:27:43,513.2251 This has an area to work on. 273 00:27:43,513.2251 --> 00:27:45,103.2251 This is a really big focal point. 274 00:27:45,613.2251 --> 00:27:47,593.2251 And I've gotten pretty good at assessing. 275 00:27:48,93.2251 --> 00:27:58,243.3241 Oh, this is easy, I can do this when, I'm painting at night and Chris and I are watching a movie or a podcast or I need to go in really narrow and deep. 276 00:27:58,753.3241 --> 00:28:03,893.3261 Like when I did the tiger's face, I created and held a lot of space around doing that. 277 00:28:03,983.3261 --> 00:28:04,43.3261 Yeah. 278 00:28:05,943.3261 --> 00:28:20,963.3251 So I've been painting for about 10 years now, so I've gotten pretty good at knowing roughly how much time, how many days I need to work on a specific portion. 279 00:28:21,493.3261 --> 00:28:32,143.3261 And and then I'm also familiar with, I have to have this particular energy within me that that I recognize is like active and present so that I can channel that into the painting process. 280 00:28:33,153.3271 --> 00:28:41,608.3271 So if that's not there, then I'll either work on a part of the painting that's just this is okay. 281 00:28:41,608.3271 --> 00:28:44,98.3271 This doesn't require, a whole lot of intention. 282 00:28:44,98.3271 --> 00:28:45,898.3271 This is just something fun and simple. 283 00:28:46,408.3271 --> 00:28:47,228.3261 Or I'll wait. 284 00:28:47,458.3271 --> 00:28:49,418.3271 I put in like the other things that I do. 285 00:28:49,628.3281 --> 00:28:52,178.3256 Typically I everything flows really well. 286 00:28:52,238.3266 --> 00:28:53,688.3266 So it's I really want to garden today. 287 00:28:54,318.3266 --> 00:28:59,263.3266 Or, this last week, it's been like, It's time to start my seedlings. 288 00:28:59,293.3266 --> 00:29:00,133.3266 I'm in Florida. 289 00:29:00,153.3266 --> 00:29:00,703.3266 They don't wait. 290 00:29:01,103.3266 --> 00:29:02,983.3266 So that's been something that has to happen. 291 00:29:03,3.3266 --> 00:29:05,563.3266 On this, these few days, it has to start. 292 00:29:06,183.3266 --> 00:29:11,883.3256 Or I edit the the creative friends podcast that my partner Chris and I put out. 293 00:29:12,363.3256 --> 00:29:16,983.3256 I have to drop into editing mode, and sometimes I really want to do that. 294 00:29:17,468.3256 --> 00:29:41,38.3271 Sometimes it aligns really well with my cycle, and I'm like, I just want to snooze on the couch, and I want to sit here and do this editing, and other times I'm like, man, I just want to paint right now, or I just want to be outside, or I just want to get dirty, or I want to build this thing, but deadlines are deadlines, and so in those circumstances, it's just okay this just has to get done right now, so I get it in my head, and it's also, going to be so fun. 295 00:29:41,38.4271 --> 00:29:45,746.658679 It's going to be such a great reward when I'm done with this project that has a deadline. 296 00:29:45,746.658679 --> 00:29:47,388.3271 I'm going to get to do that fun thing. 297 00:29:48,138.3271 --> 00:29:56,338.3281 So I like preemptively start daydreaming and enjoying the satisfaction of the thing that I really want to be doing when I'm doing the other thing. 298 00:29:56,923.3281 --> 00:30:03,953.3281 So I'm lifting up my frequency by doing that, and then that kind of skills over into the task at hand that, I'm having to do. 299 00:30:04,343.3281 --> 00:30:05,543.3281 Mostly things are fun. 300 00:30:06,93.3281 --> 00:30:19,903.3281 Do you find that you do you prepare at the beginning of the week? Cause I know a lot of creatives, sometimes a lot of creatives are doing this on, like after their work day and they're just trying to be creative or they don't have space to do that. 301 00:30:19,923.3281 --> 00:30:21,823.3281 Or some create a lot. 302 00:30:21,833.3281 --> 00:30:23,508.2281 Me personally, I. 303 00:30:23,948.3281 --> 00:30:24,988.3281 Have learned about myself. 304 00:30:24,988.3281 --> 00:30:33,158.3281 That used to be very structured everything down, but I realized that was conditioning that I had to be that way because I was a single parent of two boys. 305 00:30:33,158.3281 --> 00:30:35,728.3301 And I had to do that, and now it's no, I don't like that. 306 00:30:35,808.3301 --> 00:30:37,328.3291 I don't like the structure. 307 00:30:37,328.3301 --> 00:30:40,98.3291 I want to okay, I have this, and this, it needs to be done this week. 308 00:30:40,478.3291 --> 00:30:42,58.3291 I'm going to see when the right timing is. 309 00:30:42,88.3291 --> 00:30:43,488.3291 And then that's how it's going to work. 310 00:30:43,688.3291 --> 00:30:47,608.3291 So do you have anything? That's how you do it? Usually, yeah. 311 00:30:49,88.3291 --> 00:31:02,578.3301 So for creatives, what would you recommend for them if they're struggling with the time and space to be in flow? What do you recommend? I recommend honing in on your self care practice. 312 00:31:04,98.3301 --> 00:31:10,988.3291 just having like little rituals, like tea in the morning or tea in the evening, but just these little small self care things. 313 00:31:11,358.3301 --> 00:31:15,278.3301 Can be really helpful for our hearts and our emotional bodies. 314 00:31:15,828.3301 --> 00:31:22,338.3311 And then that kind of helps make more space so that we can drop into that juicy, creative intuitive space. 315 00:31:24,178.3321 --> 00:31:29,78.3316 Definitely if it's a, if it's a time thing, then make sure you're blocking out time. 316 00:31:29,558.3316 --> 00:31:55,848.4316 And space if you paint in during that time or do whatever creative thing if not, make sure you're like, giving yourself that space daydreaming about a concept or doing your homework on, what is the symbolic meaning of horse or like what is the symbolic meaning of this archetype that I'm resonating with that still counts and that helps helps, took the fire. 317 00:31:56,408.4316 --> 00:32:02,168.4311 And the other thing I would say is make sure that Your workstation ready to go. 318 00:32:02,538.4311 --> 00:32:09,968.4301 You want to be able to sit down, and within, a minute, you want to be able to start creating. 319 00:32:10,408.4301 --> 00:32:18,378.4311 I personally always like to get my little beverage, and I like to sit with my, whatever it is I'm working on, because it's like, it's a relationship. 320 00:32:18,898.4311 --> 00:32:33,588.3301 The artwork itself takes on its own energetic frequency and personality, but also it's this weird reflection of what is in me and what I've been pulling out. 321 00:32:35,148.3311 --> 00:32:43,518.3311 So it's this weird kind of or trinity thing going on, those are the things I would recommend and also if you're stuck and you just need a kind of a kickstart boost. 322 00:32:44,418.3321 --> 00:32:50,958.3301 I always like bringing in information, whether it's about the art or. 323 00:32:51,508.3301 --> 00:33:01,898.3301 If it's philosophy or some great, spiritual conversation and inspiration, but there are a lot of things we can bring in, bring in something that like, you want the thing that like, it's like, Ooh, I like that. 324 00:33:02,568.3301 --> 00:33:02,988.3301 Yeah. 325 00:33:03,558.3291 --> 00:33:04,328.3301 Bring more of that in. 326 00:33:05,808.3291 --> 00:33:08,458.3301 It sounds like then what you're saying is. 327 00:33:10,68.3301 --> 00:33:21,678.3301 Making sure that you have the space and not fitting it in, having the space to enjoy yourself, ground yourself, be in that space, be prepared for when it comes and let that flow happen and enjoy it. 328 00:33:21,768.3301 --> 00:33:23,828.3301 It's a gift to be able to do that. 329 00:33:23,958.3301 --> 00:33:30,603.3301 And it's also funny that you brought up Horse because like horse for me, I have a tattoo on my arm is the horse. 330 00:33:31,433.3301 --> 00:33:33,623.3301 I love horses. 331 00:33:33,643.3301 --> 00:33:51,313.3281 I have a deep connection to horses and I'm getting trained in equine gestalt, we set up the experience for the person to say the things that they were never able to say to that person or so it's interesting that you brought up as you were talking, I was like, I wonder what a painting of a heart. 332 00:33:51,733.3271 --> 00:33:52,703.3271 I was thinking that. 333 00:33:52,703.3271 --> 00:33:53,493.2281 I have one. 334 00:33:53,963.3281 --> 00:33:54,413.3281 I have one. 335 00:33:54,413.4281 --> 00:33:55,248.3281 I do. 336 00:33:55,248.3281 --> 00:33:56,83.2281 I do. 337 00:33:56,163.3281 --> 00:33:56,713.3281 Yeah. 338 00:33:56,833.3281 --> 00:33:57,323.3281 It's funny. 339 00:33:57,323.3281 --> 00:33:59,163.3281 I almost brought it up here and set it up in here. 340 00:33:59,263.3281 --> 00:34:01,793.3281 And I was like, ah, we'll let the tiger shine. 341 00:34:02,423.3281 --> 00:34:03,903.3281 Oh, that's interesting. 342 00:34:03,953.3271 --> 00:34:05,953.3281 I'm going to have to look that up with the horse and everything. 343 00:34:05,963.3281 --> 00:34:20,773.3271 As you continue pushing boundaries, connecting to yourself with your art, with your vision, I would love for you to put into what your art expresses. 344 00:34:20,773.4271 --> 00:34:27,243.3271 And you can think of one, one piece if you want, or you can. 345 00:34:27,533.3271 --> 00:34:44,553.3266 When Look at my art, I just always see the, just the beauty and the life force that I've that I see on the external and I'm doing my best to, when I paint, I'm doing my best to translate that with paint. 346 00:34:44,723.3266 --> 00:34:47,543.3266 And, Love. 347 00:34:48,23.3266 --> 00:34:49,863.3266 I feel like love really just sums it up. 348 00:34:50,373.3266 --> 00:34:51,33.3266 It's just love. 349 00:34:52,353.3266 --> 00:34:52,863.3266 Yeah. 350 00:34:55,513.3266 --> 00:35:00,445.5377111 Yeah, that's what everyone needs is love. 351 00:35:00,445.5377111 --> 00:35:06,525.5367111 Love of self, love of others what do you feel like because you're always said you like, you'd love to learn and expand. 352 00:35:06,525.5367111 --> 00:35:07,935.5367111 You're always learning things. 353 00:35:08,725.5357111 --> 00:35:18,695.5367111 How do you see yourself and your art expanding? It's a direct reflection of where I am as a human in this world. 354 00:35:20,275.5367111 --> 00:35:20,765.5367111 Lifetime. 355 00:35:21,265.5367111 --> 00:35:33,125.5347111 And what I'm moving through, so I learned that I just need to make sure that I am staying committed, which I am, staying committed to my own personal growth, always staying curious. 356 00:35:33,625.5347111 --> 00:35:35,305.5337111 I think curiosity is really good. 357 00:35:35,825.5347111 --> 00:35:45,165.5347111 It's fun following that, and It takes us to really new and exciting places and can give us courage when we need it. 358 00:35:45,275.5347111 --> 00:35:46,805.5337111 It's all blessings one way or the other. 359 00:35:49,170.5347111 --> 00:35:56,730.5347111 So what I'm feeling is it's like you continuing to learn and grow and expand yourself and then your art will just embrace who you are in that moment. 360 00:35:56,730.5347111 --> 00:35:57,210.5347111 Exactly. 361 00:35:57,610.5347111 --> 00:36:00,310.5347111 Yeah, it just happens because I'm like I'm doing the thing I love. 362 00:36:00,310.5347111 --> 00:36:05,0.4337111 So like, how do I, it's like, Oh, what if I run out of ideas? It's I'm never going to run out of ideas. 363 00:36:05,0.4337111 --> 00:36:06,880.4337111 Keep doing my work, keep doing the inner work. 364 00:36:07,460.4337111 --> 00:36:09,680.4337111 There's certain things I see and I'm like, oh, I paint that. 365 00:36:10,510.4337111 --> 00:36:11,700.4337111 I really want to paint that. 366 00:36:11,950.4337111 --> 00:36:36,650.5337111 And I have this long list of things that, who knows if I'll ever paint them, but it always just comes down to, okay but now, what do I want to paint right now? And that's always important because then it's relevant and it happens so many times where I paint something and I'm just like, Oh, this is why I painted this animal because I'm needing to work with these energies and I do work very closely. 367 00:36:36,650.5337111 --> 00:36:37,220.5332111 Whatever it is. 368 00:36:37,220.5332111 --> 00:36:37,950.5337111 I'm painting. 369 00:36:38,130.5327111 --> 00:36:39,590.5337111 I'm working with those energies. 370 00:36:40,70.5337111 --> 00:36:45,220.5337111 So it's very possible they're guides specifically coming through to work with me. 371 00:36:45,360.5337111 --> 00:36:48,270.5332111 But it's one of those things where it's if it's good for me, it's good for others. 372 00:36:48,280.5332111 --> 00:36:55,180.5332111 And I can't tell you how many times I, one thing I love about live painting is getting to interact with people. 373 00:36:55,370.5332111 --> 00:37:08,630.5342111 And I've gotten so many amazing reflections from others who look at my art, and they express what they're receiving, or what they see and so many times I didn't realize I did that. 374 00:37:08,750.5342111 --> 00:37:14,80.5342111 I did not intend to put that meaning there, but then when they pointed it out, I'm like, oh, it's clearly it's there. 375 00:37:14,530.5342111 --> 00:37:34,245.5342111 I I clearly, so it's, I'm bringing things through for myself, but unknowingly, there's also other medicine coming through for others, in your human design, your chart is a left angle cross? So what that means is you learn and experience and grow through your experiences and connections with other people. 376 00:37:35,445.5342111 --> 00:37:43,145.5332111 So while you're doing that live painting, it's you, but you're a channel and a conduit for everyone around you. 377 00:37:43,195.5332111 --> 00:37:47,265.5332111 And that's why that magic happens. 378 00:37:47,285.5332111 --> 00:37:47,985.5332111 I love that. 379 00:37:48,625.5332111 --> 00:37:49,755.5322111 Where can people. 380 00:37:50,100.5332111 --> 00:37:51,320.5332111 Purchase your paintings. 381 00:37:51,330.5332111 --> 00:37:52,330.5332111 Find out about your paintings. 382 00:37:52,330.5332111 --> 00:38:01,240.5332111 Are you doing any shows?

Intentionally Disturbing

Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
