New! Insights Magazine Cover & Interview Spring 2025

Picture
I was delighted to have had my mixed media collage, "Anima I" selected as the cover image for the Spring 2025 edition of Insights Magazine, along with being interviewed for the issue about the enigmatic figure called the Anima. Read the entire issue here with contributions from many creators and scholars.

The Archetypal Artist

My first book for Routledge, The Archetypal Artist: Reimagining Creativity & the Call to Create was released in March 2022! I'm working on an expanded second edition now.

My personal artmaking reflects my passion for the eternal and universal forces that shape our lives - especially as they manifest themselves through story and myth. These have been called archetypes, the unconscious, psyche, soul, gods, goddesses, daimons, fate, spirits, the numinous, the ineffable, God, or any number of other terms across many cultures. Regardless of the terminology, a recognition of these forces deepens and enriches our experience as human beings as it expands our compassion for others, for our world, and for ourselves.

My visual art has been featured in a variety of venues including the influential book, Chicana and Chicano Art: Artists, Work, Culture, and Education edited by Gary D. Keller.​
