Artist Statement
We are all called to learn, be inspired, and honor all walks of life, to feel harmony, and experience beauty.
We have a plethora of history that has not yet been tapped into, and we have discovered the oldest human remains in North America. It took a while to realize this, and there may be many older clans which haven’t been unearthed, but what we have is so valuable, so rich in antiquity. This I believe is Sacred.
Our responsibility as a community, is to respect this, honor the diversity, and the uniqueness of all who have walked before us, with us, today and in the future.
I feel the passion, beauty, and essence of ‘Spirit Rising’. She manifested through me, my hands, as conduit. Anyone who knows anything about creative process understands the birthing of your own soul, over and over. I gave birth to this monument who is here to reflect the undeniable essence within every living being. ‘Spirit Rising’ stands to inspire each of us and remind us of our connectedness to harmony when we honor paths of wisdom – antiquity.
With gratitude, I dedicate Spirit’s and my soul’s creation, ‘Spirit Rising’ to this entire community. She like a child, or land, cannot be owned. She is a gift to all of us. She is a vibration, an essence very much alive.
She came through me as an artist, and She will have many caretakers. She is the Free Spirit who resides in the hearts and minds of All who honor and respect her spirit, and radiate instinctual awareness, peace, non dominance, kindness, sustainability, and community cooperation.
Thank you Nimuué for choosing me to express your message of harmony. Thank you, Spirit for guiding me. Thank you.
