“Our current spiritual belief systems have provided us little guidance to the evolving threats of climate change, extinction, and overdevelopment of the natural world. Most of the spiritual practices that once connected us to nature were wiped out during the expansion of traditional religion. The human species has largely lost its spiritual connection to nature. Without that connection, we will fail to protect the very planet that nurtures us all.
In this series, I have created a group of deities that offer an opportunity for new dialogue. These deities are a symbolic guide to show us how to save our planet, and therefore save ourselves. We are all made from the same raw material as the creatures and ecosystems we share our planet with. These paintings visually guide us to the awareness that we are inseparably part of the natural world. Hoping to bring new understanding of our relationship to our planet; I strive to create a new mythology to help guide us."
