As an artist, visionary, and consciousness explorer, my work stands at the fascinating intersection of traditional artistry and technological innovation, crafting immersive experiences that challenge perceptions of reality and consciousness. My life journey, marked by profound challenges, has been consistently mirrored and processed through my art, a testament to enduring resilience and purpose.

Art became my refuge from a very early age, starting drawing at three. The transformative experience of seeing brilliant color through glasses in first grade set my path. My art education, including a BFA at The School of Visual Arts in NYC, was a continuation of honoring my art and gaining professional skills. Even while grieving from divorce, art provided balance, expressed in large figurative works. My MFA at CalArts, despite its conceptual emphasis, saw my art remain deeply personal, spiritual, and symbolic, dealing with "shadows from my childhood". The devastating defacement of my master's project, "there’s no place like home," a series on women in advertising, was traumatic but did not stop my focus on creating.

A profound shift occurred with my mother's diagnosis and passing from colon cancer in 1990, pushing my art in a darker, more emotional direction. Paintings like "save us from ourselves" and the nine-panel "our world sacrificed at the altar of endless greed", incorporating mud, tar, and fish bones, reflected my grief for her and the planet's destruction. The series culminated in "for our mother" and a panel of a dying sunflower with journalistic writing, chronicling profound loss and purpose in expression.

An earlier abortion caused immense grief and trauma, leading to increased drinking "to numb the pain of that lost pregnancy," a loss that "haunted me and informed much of my art". Reaching "mental & emotional terror" from drinking led me to seek sobriety through Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) in 1983, a highly effective path to abstinence, often more effective than psychotherapy. A spinal accident in 1998 and subsequent opioid dependence caused me to lose all creativity and live in a "drug hazed fog".

A successful lumbar fusion in 2021 marked a "rebirth" as creativity slowly returned, getting off opioids and embracing new artistic frontiers. AI art became a significant outlet as chronic pain limited traditional painting, reflecting experiences with icon painting from my Irish Catholic childhood. In a groundbreaking achievement, my digital artworks "DNA CHILD-Ukraine" and "DNA child-India" were selected for lunar exhibition, landing on the Moon March 2, 2024. "Freddie Mercury Moon Peace-Earth Peace" is slated for lunar display in 2025, solidifying my status among the first artists whose work extends beyond Earth, a true fulfillment of purpose.
