Creative Power Tower was made in celebration of my creative spirit guide Pink Rose. All the towers and boxes that follow were made to either empower or celebrate a person, spirit guide or, in the case of Flaming Pen Tower, my writing tool.

Pink Rose is my American Indian creative spirit guide who has many forms of appearance. Several of his favorites are as a pink mist the height of a man with a waterfall of gold dust gushing from the top or simply clad in wings both of which are shown in this tower. He arrived in 1977. For the first several years each visit would incorporate in his guise a specific set of archetypal symbols that I was to research and understand.  This enabled me to begin to appreciate this ancient visual form of communication residing within the memory of mankind.
