The South Tawton Ceiling Bosses painting installation

These panels are hung in a grid formation from and parallel to the ceiling to give a sense of place. Visitors view the works by looking up just as they would view the medieval wooden carvings in the church in Dartmoor, England that inspired the installation. These are the first two works from the series. As an exploration of the ancient Indo-European connection, I layered the medieval carvings with each yoga asana that they greatly resemble.

The Portal painting installation

The Pipers standing stones near the Hurlers stone circles, Bodmin Moor, Cornwall, England. The front two paintings will be hung on two custom kiosks, with panels of the energetic fields of the back sides of the stones on the reverse. The full installation will also feature a wall component – a horizontal diptych beyond the kiosks showing Stowe’s Hill between the Pipers stones, and the 20″ x 20″ panel Scars, highlighting a small feature of an engraved cross on the inside of the Female Stone in the small of her “back”. For a full description and more information about this project, please visit The Portal page of my website.

A self-portrait, the artist is shown from behind from the shoulder blade area up, merged into a standing stone. Her hair is in a loose bun, and on her back, a two-inch by two-inch cross is engraved into the stone of her upper back, as was present on the actual menhir that inspired this work.
