320 Megahertz, egg tempera on panel, 36”x24”, 2021
"Depict the divine feminine. It's time for her return", an inner voice compelled me with these words in 2018 to start this body of work. Not fully knowing who or what the divine feminine was, I looked to symbolism from my own early Catholic upbringing and heritage, and my present metaphysical practice of connecting to source through meditation, and rituals that align with natural cycles for answers. I found versions of her that are loving, compassionate, and healing. Quantum physics tells us nothing is actually solid, everything is energy vibrating at a certain frequency. One of the goals of meditation and spiritual practice is to raise one's vibration to encompass more love. The typical human body vibrates around 62-72 megahertz. Roses have a vibrational frequency of 320 MHz which is why they are considered by many to be a sacred healing flower. This body of work combines roses as a symbol of healing and the holy mother, with galaxies and outer space, and visions of rose wreathed horses galloping under the night sky for my exhibition "The Frequency of Roses."
