First Art Opening! The Bowen Center for Women's Health


Tonight was my first art opening at the Bowen Center for Women's Health.  I have to say I never thought I'd have a public art showing in my entire life.  It was quite a rush with a mixture of excitement and nervousness.


What made it best of all is the people that were there--my mother, my daughters, doulas, midwives, male doctors who are midwives at heart, henna artists, massage therapists, etc.  It just seemed like the perfect place to give birth to myself as an artist. 



I just love sycronicity!  The artwork and event  really brought all my favorite passions together--flowers, birth, art, the spirituality of womanhood and celebrating the sacred feminine



I sold this piece that has birth affirmations on slips of paper to a midwife for her office.  I hope it inspires and empowers the women who read it, and I hope they feel the love that I made it with.

(I really like the moon in this one--I used silver spray paint and a super cool stencil to get this cool design.)
Two of my favorite pregnant women pieces that are finally finished...


In Full Bloom

Tree of Life

Here are a few more small pieces I did (8x10).  They are inspired by the book, She, by Kobi Yamada.

Sunflower House made an appearance too...


We love how our henna-ed arms turned out too!
