For  the past several years I have used  my shamanic journeys as a source of  insight and inspiration. By listening to a heart beat drum I enter a trance state, something larger than my mind takes over and a deeper wisdom is revealed. 
 
in the presence of snake
i slip into an alternate reality
Oil on Panel -  12" x 12"
 
i journey down into the snake pit
my horror transforms as i realize
it is my warmth they seek
i float free in the pool of possibility
i am transformed shedding
my constrictions
surrender to the unconscious
the greenman watches my shadow
dancing in ecstasy
my shadow is released
i am humbled
i dive into the deep self
to the place of secrets
in the sweat lodge i sit in the west
place of emotional flow
my energy dances
between opposing forces
i open myself to the full cycle of life
i become lilith
primal earthy sexual
