be fearless

Lie in the grass or on a sidewalk or on your roof.
Look at the sky. Feel your boots laced tight around your calves. Pile rocks. Get dirty. Take the t.v. antenna off your forehead.
Be where you are, even for a snap.

We are lured by the fastest, cheapest, biggest.
We forget ab out authenticity.
Art takes time.

I work on jewelry in my home studio in Santa Fe.
I began to create with a desire to discover what is authentic.
I continue to create in order to find connection.
Art is about connection.
We use it to talk to each other.
It is a tangible symbol of what is kicking around inside.

I have striped the pieces bare.
I am letting them show their bones.
I am not feeling subtle these days.
We live in a tamed environment.
We are taught there is value in canned, prepackaged, foil-wrapped and zip-locked.
Maybe there are too many plastic things marketed as originals.

Maybe I just want people to tell their own stories.


be fearless.
