TITLE: Polar breathing

The earth is living .. as I am.
Shamanic traditions around the world acknowledge this deep connection with the earth; as do I.
I feel the earth breathe and speak to me.
This is what I see in the polar regions.
What I hear and feel gives my life meaning.

I am an explorer of experience. I am an adventurer into the unknown.

I explore the mystery of the unseen and see the world through intent observation and adore using words, images and artworks as a narrative of my experience.

I have travelled the world extensively; published several books; exhibited extensively and have my work in collections around the world. I am passionate about my life and dive into living and learning about myself and that which is beyond who I am.

I have a deep connection with the natural world have been recognised by respected Shaman around the world as one of their peers. I am a gifted Healer and Seer.

I have been invited to participate in two artist residencies in the Arctic in 2018; one of which is The Arctic Circle residency with a group of artists and scientists.

These opportunities are a privilege and will be an opportunity for me to develop my photographs and artwork in relation to my shamanic gifts and explore the nature of connection with place.
