Hecate is the Greek goddess of witchcraft, childbirth and the crossroads. She has power over skies, earth and sea, which I wanted to show through each one of the three figures. The central one carries several symbols attributed to the goddess: the pomegranates in her hair remind us of the legend of Persephone, in which she plays an important role; while she hides her right eye behind her hand, the eye still shows through the fingers, meaning that she’s got the “vision”, or the capacity of seeing the past, present and future. The moon under her right breast denotes that Hecate is a moon goddess, and that she protects the women in labor and their offspring – the moon is associated to the motherhood. The black dog is one of her companions. watercolor and pencil on illustration board / 20×15

Excerpt from an essay I wrote about my work. I think this is the first time I’m really getting into detail publicly about the symbolism of my work. ”...The original assignment was to draw something new every day for three weeks on this piece, something inspired by your day, and to add another piece of paper each week. I interpreted the things going on around me and illustrated a piece on Patriarchy. Starting from left to right, the viewer can identify a familiar character from western folklore, little red ridding hood. Earlier this year I had done an artist book on little red ridding hood, the hunter and the wolf both being male, the devouring being sexual, and the two female characters fate resting solely on the male characters in the story. Expanding upon that, the wolves and foxes in this piece all represent male entities. The little read ridding hood is surrounded by wolves, faceless and feetless because she only exists because they do. A tree form grows out of her heart, her only form of expression. She is looking back ghostly little girls, wearing masks of foxes. They are trying to put on the face of little boys, as she pulls the mask off she is disappearing. In front of these figures are heads popping up from the ground, surrounded by phallic mushrooms, poisonous, and suffocating them before they can surface. On the next panel there is a frightening looking wolf or jackal like creature howling out to the viewer. It is up to the viewer to decide if what is coming from him is some sort of phallic organ, an umbilical cord, questioning the gender, or entrails. It leads you to a flock of rabbits, then asking the question if they came from him or if they are destroying him. The answer is in the background above, an outline of a faceless girl riding a fox. In it’s mouth is an arm, relating to castration, which is somewhat of a tribute to Audition and other Asian horror films that inspire me. In the last panel an elongated form of a woman lays on the ground conscious and bare breasted. She represents the two roles women are offered by the patriarchy, sexual object and Mother. The three foxes (sons) chase the daughter (girl) to relate back to the piece, showing how this is a cycle, and also touches upon the desire for male offspring.”

This yearling sea lion still had the attention of mom when he came to shore. The care was evident as she nuzzled his face. The parents among us know that no matter how old they get, or how far away they move we never stop worrying, we never stop loving and we never stop caring! This image is dedicated to all the Moms out there who never stop caring. This image has been used a Mothers Day card and as a card for folks who have lost a pet. Thanks fot looking!

A beautiful image created for our Journal for the Pregnant Goddess! This journal is your very own guide to a joyful and positive birthing experience no matter how it should unfold… a must for every woman starting a family or recovering from a negative birthing experience… to check it out, please visit www.journalsforempowerment.com For women entering into motherhood it is one of the greatest transitions of all time! It is her vision quest. Take a moment to acknowledge this change… this moment of metamorphisis… when you reach the other side, you will be stronger, wiser and richer. Before motherhood, I thought I was so humble, compassionate and loving and kind… but in truth, I had not been tested yet. I am happy to say, that 4 years and 2 kids later, I am still on a very steep learning curve of patience, selflesness, compassion, understanding… but I know that I am way ahead on the chart than I was before I had kids. / Motherhood is the most unrelenting and beautiful teacher that gives the best perks.

She saw an opportunity for good free grub and took it …..what clever cat wouldn’t. / We affectionately called her Dibley as shemade the first ‘connection’ with us whilst we were watching ‘The Vicar of Dibley’: the dog collar suited the name and it stuck. / By the time we moved to a more rural setting the fat was part of the clan. More fool us the ‘fat’ cat we adopted, was infact pregnant and gave birth within days of moving to our new home. She took up “residence” in a part completed fireplace and gave birth to four – Liquorice, Minty, Linford and Chloe. / Ever felt that you’ve been ‘had’? The tabby cat has a distinctive coat that features stripes, dots, or swirling patterns. Tabbies are sometimes erroneously assumed to be a breed of cat. In fact, the tabby pattern is a naturally occurring feature that may be the original coloration of the domestic cat’s distant ancestors. Tabby color is found in many breeds of cat, as well as among the general ‘moggy’ (mixed-breed or mongrel) population. When cats are allowed to breed randomly, the coloration of the population tends toward brown mackerel tabbies with green eyes[, leading geneticists to believe that this is the common wild phenotype of the domestic cat. The tabby usually has an “M” mark on its forehead. The word, adapted from the name of a kind of textile, comes from French tabis, which was earlier atabis, and in medieval Latin attabi. The distant origin of the word seems to be from the Attabiyah section of Baghdad where a type of striped silk was made that was later used to describe cats. Since the tabby pattern is a common wild type, it would be assumed that medieval cats were of tabby type. This was not the case in England at least. Some time after the mid-17th century, the curious antiquary John Aubrey noted in his disorganized memoranda, “W. Laud, A.B. Cant. was a great lover of Catts. He was presented with some Cyprus-catts, i.e. our Tabby-catts, which were sold, at first for 5 pounds a piece: this was about 1637 or 1638. I doe well remember that the common English Catt, was white with some blewish piednesse : sc, a gallipot3 blew. The race or breed of them are now almost lost.” William Salmon, in The Compleat English Physician, (London, 1693:326) notes of the domestic cat, “It is a neat and cleanly creature, often licking itself to keep it fair and clean, and washing its face with its fore feet; the best are such as of a fair and large kind and of an exquisite tabby color called Cyprus cats”. A study by the National Cancer Institute suggests that all current house cats (Felis catus) in the world are descendants from a group of self-domesticating wild cats 10,000 years ago, somewhere in the Near East. The closest relative of the Wild cat is the Sand Cat (Felis margarita). DIBLEY /

This work just kind of happened, lots of meaning for me…one of those ones that you kind of do on auto-pilot and when you get to the end you finally see where you were going. It is a self portrait, about motherhood, child-bearing, death. I came so close to death during the birth of one of my six biological children and he did, too. My uterus ruptured during labour, plunging both of us into severe danger and me into unimaginable pain. Still hurts to talk about. But we survived. Many don’t.
