  • The Gatekeepers
    The Gatekeepers - Woman Warrior Coat Series: To empower women to overcome challenges in their daily lives.

    These 3 coats were presented to me during a 30 day prayer for a friend who had experienced a devastating episode. Another friend, seeing the drawing in progress, said - "Oh, the Gatekeepers". The mythical reference seemed apt of a heroine's journey with its travails and doors that open along the way to transformation.

  • Leopard Essence III/Artist Energy 2018
    Leopard Essence III/Artist Energy - Woman Warrior Coat Series: To empower women to overcome challenges in their daily lives. 
     
    As my Rwandan artist friend began to restore a benevolent environment to begin painting again this coat presented itself. It contained her ancestral patterns that generated ribbons of cloth and woven beads which spoke to her own inner creative power and determination. Palm fronds grew from the creative spiritual side symbolizing victory and peace. It rested on the essence of leopard - the national animal of Rwanda.

  • Lightning BoltCoat - 2017
    Lightning Bolt Coat - Woman Warrior Coat Series: To empower women to overcome challenges in their daily lives.


    When near completion on this drawing of light and dark I reached an impasse and sat in silence. After a time I inexplicably picked up a salmon colored pencil and began to fill in the coat's heart center watching the warmth expand outwards. Words heard: "It is the combination of light and love that has the power to dispel darkness".

  • Red Wing - Creative Power Coat

    Red Wing  - Creative Power Coat - Woman Warrior Coat Series: To empower women to overcome challenges in their daily lives. 
     
    When I returned to using colored pencils after a long absence (in this first coat in the series) I found a blank sheet of paper scared me. Instead, I began work on an old unfinished drawing. It had some sky and a red wing which I planned to erase. Unexpectedly, in the process of drawing the coat, a second wing grew and the original wing remained. The Fire Energy Coat for another became a Creative Energy Coat for myself.

  • Solar Coat for Cleo

    Solar Coat for Cleo - Woman Warrior Coat Series: To empower women to overcome challenges in their daily lives. 
     
    A cluster of purple Irises grew up from the earth emitting a pale purple mist. The name “Cleo” was written in the air above the mist from which a sun emerged. As the sun passed through the name Cleo, the name was swept into the sun’s center where it remained. The sun continued to rise up into a coat of light suspended above the Irises until it reached the place where her heart would be. Then it generated a single cord of light that traveled far into the heavens above and into the earth below surrounded by Irises.

    Words heard: “Connection unbroken.”

  • Leopard Essence Coat - Study I
    2013

    Leopard Essence - Study I: On the morning my Rwandan artist friend was to begin a difficult life journey I saw a Leopard Coat of flaming protective force and was able to paint and text it to her before an initial challenge began. The following image, Study II, was seen 1 1/2 years later when the obstacles had been overcome.

  • Leopard Essence Coat - Study II
    2014

    Leopard Essence - Study II: After my Rwandan friend had completed a difficult life journey the flaming Leopard Coat became a coat of light with only a random leopard spot - the essence of Leopard. Five black shields in a basket weave pattern surrounded the coat. A group of warriors stood behind the coat with the understanding: "The Leopard Coat comes with the power of the ancestors". In doing research following these images I discovered the leopard is the national animal of Rwanda and black basket weave shields are a symbol of Rwandan royalty used to protect the royal drums.
