Story 2

Art of JuiceyLiving Begins

continues from Story 1

Starting in 1995 I was living in Sedona, Arizona. The first time I saw the red rock formations I felt like I had come home. Little did I know what was going to unfold and flow out of me during my 5 years living in the wildness there. I was a mess. I was on an emotional roller coaster and seriously hormonaly imbalanced (some call it PMS and some call it crazy) most of the month and hated when my period came on. I confess I thought of it as a curse. I didn’t really know who I was and had opened my doors, BODY-MIND-SPIRIT, for a sacred journey of recovery and discovery; giving myself permission to explore everything in hopes of finding the truth about myself. Living there connected me to the RED EARTH of the MOTHER in a whole new way.

I was living in Nature, literally. I had a Dodge Van at first and was camping out. Later I got a little Dodge RV I called my Turtle Temple and went to sleep many nights to the gurgling of Spring Creek and the rustling of the Cottonwood Trees. I was channeling music and singing, dancing and journeying with Nature, learning Plant Spirit Medicine and meeting the most extraordinary Plant Beings and learning just how much they want to serve and assist us in our waking up process. I was studying the Goddess, ancient and new, playing with Wild Women, exploring Sacred Sexuality, learning about my own body, studying different cultures, opening to the unseen dimensions, and meeting people from all over the world.

Merlin, David and I were on an adventure into Colorado and I hadn’t created any art since I left St. Augustine in Sept of 1995. It was now late summer of 1996 and I had become so “pregnant” with creative new ideas that one day, while we were driving through a beautiful mountain pass with blazing golden Aspens, the urge to birth something artistic came over me so strongly I had to find some place to buy art supplies. I found crayons, paper, and wax pencils at a tiny little Ace Hardware store in the high mountains. As we continued to drive, I got out my drawing pad and started filling it with bright patches of colors, just like a Kindergartner coloring.

Then I took the black wax pencil and completely covered it over. It was tough to completely cover over all that brilliant beauty. I knew the secret, I was going to scratch the black off to form the art picture I had made some little scratching tools and began to carve off the black. revealing the brilliant colors through the fine lines. My first Fire Turtle was born…

Fire Terrapin

This series is called Terrapins and they are again based on the Earth elements and the Seasons. I was amazed what flowed out of me that day, unlike anything I had previously created. It was raw and powerful. Something new was unleashing inside of me. I could feel more ready to find their way into expression…

Sometime later, after being urged repeatedly by my loving partner, Jim aka Merlyn Mahalo, (and he wasn’t the first man to suggest it) to create some art with my menses blood, I finally set myself up with the private time and space to see what would happen. I had gathered my menses blood into a tiny jar using sea sponges and set up a table at a friend’s house who was away for a time. I laid out an eyedropper, some coated paper and put on a video about some sacred journey to Egypt to watch to get me into a more spiritual mode. I set my intentions that I might express myself in a joyful way and began.

I let my moon blood flow into designs one after another without thinking too much. I did 6 of them that first day. I let them dry and marveled at what had come out of me. I was determined to renew myself as an empowered Goddess and HUman being and re-frame my relationship with my feminine body and its monthly flow. This was an amazing experience and began the journey of fulfilling my desires.

My, Aren’t we Beautiful?

This experience of creating in a flow with something so taboo and yet ancient really did begin its magical healing on me, because I was actually excited the next month to flow and again artistically express myself. Each month I created more ART from the healing serum that flowed out of my woman body. I began to think of us as beautiful; the menses serum, which is much much more than blood, my body and my soul and we began to emerge into a new awareness.

Each month I would create a whole sequence of art pieces, from 6 to 30+, usually in one sitting and once in awhile over the course of several days, like on my 44th birthday. I would say a prayer and invite beings to assist, as long as they were in alignment with my highest soul’s purpose and mission, then open and begin. When I create art I enter into a kind of natural high, an altered creative state which allows ideas and images to pour in a flow of mind and heart expressions. I would create one after another, laying them all over the room to dry. The coated papers with the glistening menses fluid would dry in a rusty red sparkling expression of what was inside me. Free flowing forms expressing all my feelings and desires and often astonishing and amazing me. After they dried, I give that month’s series a name, like Red Tide Rising, or Heal the Separation, then I would return to each piece, as they called out to me, to add color, texture and stories. This process could last all month and sometimes I wouldn’t finish a piece for several years, then one day I would be drawn to it and finish it.

And thus this unique expression of my Art of JuiceyLiving was born and continued on for the next 3 years until the final piece marked the apex of that Artistic time period. It was a night after a family excursion to a Hot Springs in Utah and that night I camped in a Red Rock canyon during a wild thunderstorm with my young niece, Kindra, who is now a Wild artist herself. That was the night Marriage of Heaven & Earth flowed through, while it rained so hard the water was pouring through the windows while we both were creating art. The red dirt cause the rivers of water running under the camper to look red like blood. Marriage of Heaven and Earth was the apex piece expressing my mission and purpose. The depth of what was in it took me some years to discover as I continued to unfold more of myself to myself.

Many of the images that poured out of me had to do with ancient memories being activated, grief of the loss of the feminine community and nurturing. the healing of my feminine psyche, yet many had to do with the healing of the masculine and balancing those two polarized aspects within myself into a healthy relationship. In all, I created over 350 pieces in the Art of JuiceyLiving series. Many remained raw and unfinished with the intention someday to finish them.

In 1999 I moved from my beloved Sedona, with the urging from the Dolphins and Madame Pele calling me to come to her. I was in full swing of the newest art project I called the Vibrakeys and would occasionally weave in an Art of JuiceyLiving piece.

In 2002 a tragic fire in a storage unit severely damaged and destroy many of my originals. I spent days and days crying and pulling apart the sticky mess that was left, cleaning and drying them. Fortunate for me (and you) I had some of them scanned into digital form and my computer was spared the fire. In 2004 I told my body I was ready to let go of my monthly menses, feeling I had fully fulfilled coming into harmony with my body and femininity and felt ready to move into becoming a crone. My menses stopped fully shortly after that.

In 2011 we moved from Hawaii and I left much in storage there while settling and getting used to mainland living again. At the end of 2013, I have finally received all my remaining Art of JuiceyLiving originals and began the process of photographing and scanning them into digital files. In spite of the burnt edges and faded colors, they are still amazing stories and hold powerful energy. In fact, one friend suggested that it makes them even more powerful have gone “through the fire.” I have decided that I want to share them, mostly as is. Each one is a story and expresses various phases of realizations and the process of moving into ONE’S personal power. Exploring the journey, expressing the path, sharing the blossoming and healing I went through. I realize this is a kind of universal story and journey of awakening and remembering who we really are that we each go through in different ways.

So I am happy I have begun to share my story and hope it touches you in some way or another… I still have much to do to get the art ready to share. I will post it little by little as it comes into readiness…
