Window to a wild woman's soul -2016 The wild woman is not one that destroys, even though she is a powerful warrior and she would not tolerate such imposed barriers. She is a warrior of love. Love is all that is needed to bring down traditions that go against humanity. Her touch is subtle yet effective when her power is focused to do good and heal. The women I paint are women who hunt with the jaguar and dance with the wolves. The Goddesses if life, their bloody veins rooted deeply into the earth and their vertiginous reach encompasses the skies. They walk through the subconscious forest of unknown mystery and plunge into their oersonalnand intimate darkness. Barefoot upon cold damp moss, frozen feet cracked and weeping, they embrace the experience and some become the darkness themselves for a time. Years may pass till the warrior is filled with adequate strength, wisdom and knowledge learnt from this dark and mysterious underworld. However, when the wild woman is finally recognized and acknowledged, these warriors climb back up upon the brink of the 'civilized' worldand live their lives with self-love, integrity and with purpose.When a wild woman awakens; she turns becomes a true gift to humanity.
