Healing Divas

In 2003, I met The Healing Divas, a collective of spiritual musical performers who bring a wide range of creative techniques, including poetry, drumming, chanting, toning, movement and song to their workshops and performances.

With drawing tools in hand, I began to attend their rehearsal sessions. Working with the immediacy of large scale figurative renderings while experiencing the music and movement of The Healing Divas, my images began to take their finished shape through a rhythmic, cyclical process of overlapping successive layers of rendering, wiping into, leaving traces and drawing over. I then carried this process over to longer-term studio drawings and paintings.
