My experience of the creative process feels like a Divine Love Affair. There is a passion that overtakes me as my spirit receives inspired ideas and births them into reality.

In order for there to be a creative birth, there needs to be a coming together of different energies.  I call this the ‘Union of Opposites’.

I believe the job of a Soul Artist is to make the invisible world of soul visible;  make the intangible  tangible;  and birth ideas into reality. This is the Divine Love Affair, this is the union of opposites.

The idea for this photo came to me while I was hiking in the snow last year.  Everything felt so magical I thought it would be a perfect way to illustrate the tingling feeling of the union of opposites.  Of course it is not real snow  (it is actually white flour).

I approached photographer Stephanie Bell about doing this shoot and she was into it and did a phenomenal job (even better than I imagined!).  Ken MacDonnell is the model along with me, he is a total delight to work with.
