MORE ABOUT
Creating art will always be about healing and liberation. Liberation from any thing or ideology that is not deeply rooted in love + community. Liberation from the mundane, liberation from fear, liberation from this world that often feels like a dream we are trying to escape.
When you are creating art you are communing with the divine and the vibration of the divine is one of healing.
Embodying the great Divine Mother and birthing an idea into existence has become a place of power + sacredness in life. It is an open door for thesoul to transmute and transcend, processing trauma from white supremacy, religious dogma, patriarchy, capitalism + colonization.

the grandmothers
A community art offering for us all.
When the grandmothers from the four directions speak, a new time is coming.
–ancient prophecy
The intention of this mural is to honor and elevate the indigenous people of the Inland Empire, represented in the form of four grandmothers from following four tribes: Tongva, Cahuilla, Serrano + Luiseño, respectfully. We look to them as we protect our diverse cultures and steward our land, our medicine, our languages and ceremonial ways to nurture our children and our community.
May the four grandmothers serve as a reminder for all whose land they are standing on, to step with mindfulness, to step with care. The grandmothers will also serve as spiritual guardians for those who respect the divine feminine and Mother Earth, our oldest ancestor.
The Grandmothers can be experienced at the Riverside Main Library 3900 Mission Inn Avenue Riverside CA 92501
