Each
image here presented is a thread of light, beauty, and love that
my dearest Mother, Eyre Davisson, helped me to create. It is with
the utmost love and heartfelt gratitude that I dedicate this site
and its intent to her. She gave me life and she was the constant
and most tender spiritual midwife to each blessed creation here
before you. God Speed, Mama!

My
artwork is dedicated to the sacredness of all life wherever I find
it. My principal sources of inspiration are wildlife and indigenous
cultures throughout the world. I see and express "spirit"
through my collage work and I believe this to be my life-long journey.
I am
grateful to and deeply honored by each element that comes into my
collages in such a variety of ways - family, friendships, travels
and solitary walks on quiet woodland trails. I am further humbled
by the divine that is constantly unfolding in the most unexpected
places and presences.
My
collages are a piecing together of my travels - internal and through
different parts of the world. Each journey has brought with it its
unique treasures - a feather; a battered cross lost in a parking
lot; an article of clothing worn religiously through a particular
time and experience; an image discovered during a museum visit,
or a quote found at the entrance of an ancient church.
As a journey
artist, it is my task and my joy to keep traveling with my eyes and
heart open. I
wish to make special mention of the logo I have chosen for my work.
It is with humility and gratitude that I have chosen The Man in
the Maze symbol to accompany me on my creative adventure.This symbol
truly belongs to the Tohono O'odham People of Arizona and Mexico.
"The tiny figure( U'ki'ut'l) seeks a deeper meaning of life.
The center of the circle stands for that deeper meaning. The journey
through life is often puzzling and difficult, but the People must
struggle and work for that deeper meaning." http://www.riverusers.com
I wish to thank the Tohono O'odham People for such a perfect representation
for all of us and it is with deep respect that I use this symbol
in my life and work.
