"Persephone"

"Persephone", 36x60", acrylic on canvas. My experience of being married very young is here symbolized by the myth of Persephone, who dwelt in the underworld, a captive of Hades, until her mother negotiated to have her released half of each year. Persephone ate a pomegranate seed while visiting the underworld, and that mistake caused her imprisonment. The 3-headed dog Cerberus guards the underworld, but lets her pass at the beginning of spring and fall.

Dweller on the Threshold

 "Dweller on the Threshold" — 11×14", mixed media on cradled wood panel

In Theosophical and esoteric tradition, the Dweller on the Threshold is the shadow-self — unresolved, unintegrated, the one we must confront before we can realize our spiritual nature.

This is a self-portrait: a face contorted into the grin of a gargoyle, or the face of madness, emerging from a dense wallpaper of hearts — desire, attachment, sentiment — the very substance the Dweller is made of.
