Rapture
----------------------------------------
In velvet dark
I am lured
prismatic creature
by your play of light.
Since it's impossible
to part
shall we embrace?
Doubts and shadows
dwindle
in a bright mind
intimate
with the scintilla
of midnight.

CosmoMystery Art
My art emerges where wonder, imagination and the hunger for understanding meet. My deep regard for objective scientific discovery as well as subjective contemplation causes me to seek ways to suggest the deep laws and patterns that resonate on all scales throughout cosmic evolution.
My diverse interests and metaphoric--symbolic--mythic--empathic visions often pull me across the boundaries of existing categories of art and thought. The contemplative viewer may discover hidden figures, objects, symbols, references to biology and cosmology. My recent creations are astronomical fantasy; or faery/mythical art updated to the age of chaos math and space exploration!
Various pencil, watercolor and acrylic media work well to manifest my ideas. I also create small sculptures, jewelry, fiction and poetry (published by The International Library of Poetry at www.poetry.com and to be included in their new anthology and the album collection The Sound of Poetry).
I have a Master of Arts in Asian studies (South Asian art history), a certificate in graphic design/illustration and numerous college credits in fine art and creative writing. I once created airbrushed clothing designs at storefronts in Waikiki. I've contributed artwork and writing to: exhibits and newsletters of The Women's Caucus for Art and Berkeley Watercolorists and Friends; three teacher seminars at The Asian Art Museum in San Francisco, CA (illustrations of the iconography of Asian Indian deities, Asian lacquer box symbols, Japanese arms and armor); Milvia Street literary magazine, Berkeley, CA (cover art, interior art, poetry); Artists as Midwives in the Cultural Rebirth of Contemporary Goddess Iconography: An Ecofeminist and Heuristic Inquiry (Copyright © 2000 Meghan E. Lewis; Bell & Howell/UMI); The Woman's Journal, Portland, OR (cover art); and We'Moon lunar datebook/calendar (interior and postcard art).
I am interested in the publication of my art on prints, posters, calendars, notecards, books, magazines, compact discs, etc. I would love to find a publisher willing to include my visual art, poetry and maybe fiction or essays together in one book, as these various modalities spring from a common creative source.
