Union of Opposites
My experience of the creative process feels like a Divine Love Affair. There is a passion that overtakes me as my spirit receives inspired ideas and births them into reality.
In order for there to be a creative birth, there needs to be a coming together of different energies. I call this the ‘Union of Opposites’.

I believe the job of a Soul Artist is to make the invisible world of soul visible; make the intangible tangible; and birth ideas into reality. This is the Divine Love Affair, this is the union of opposites.
The idea for this photo came to me while I was hiking in the snow last year. Everything felt so magical I thought it would be a perfect way to illustrate the tingling feeling of the union of opposites. Of course it is not real snow (it is actually white flour).
I approached photographer Stephanie Bell about doing this shoot and she was into it and did a phenomenal job (even better than I imagined!). Ken MacDonnell is the model along with me, he is a total delight to work with.

There are many, but the one thing I love is the how the flour is flowing from his fingers. I almost see a sparkle in it.

I have thought before how beautiful you are and this photo is proof. Keep doing what you are doing. The world needs your dreams.
