"Myth comes alive as it enters the cauldron of evolution,
itself drawing energy from the storytellers who shape it."  

Elizabeth Fuller, The Independent Eye Theatre

I’ve always found inspiration from mythology, our worldwide collective Story.  As a professional Tarot Card reader, the ancient archetypes of the Tarot became like a second language to me.  My Rainbow Bridge deck began as a Tarot deck, but I found that it wanted to go in a slightly different direction, so I let that happen.  The Book (descriptions of the cards) evolved in the process.   

Art process can mean many things, and for me art making is most often a spiritual practice.  Besides my Divination deck,  I have made many devotional works I call  "Earth Shrines", part of my  lifelong conversation with the numinous intelligence in nature.  I am perhaps best known for my 15 year project "The Masks of the Goddess".  I continue to create visionary art in a variety of mediums.   To learn more about my work, please visit my website.

I believe that the Rainbow Bridge is a fine metaphor for the evolving Global Tribe - rich in diversity, and yet united in spirit.
