This debut display of my perspective and “Resonance Art” was held at The Brand Stand STL Art Gallery in Clayton, Missouri. The Gallery hours are Wednesday through Friday from 10am to 2pm and Saturday from 9am to 12pm. The Gallery is at 222 South Meramec Avenue, Suite L-01, Clayton, MO, 63105.
The show ran from March 12 to April 2 with a well attended Artist Talk on the evening of April 2. I am thankful for all the folks who came out to share time with us.
In this web page, I am delighted to share with you my debut Art Gallery show where I was the featured Artist. I shall add more details and a full catalog of the show as soon as I am able. This has truly been an incredible effort of mind, body, and Spirit over years of seeking, learning, and experimentation with form, materials, and purpose. I am grateful for The Brand Stand STL Art Gallery in this wonderful opportunity.
Here are some images of items from and signage created for the Art Show: Wonder Full.
Small Items and Merchandise
The gallery of images above shows keychains, pendants, crystal clusters, and Resonance Ingots which I created.
Round, Inspirational Keychains: Graphic slogans adorn the sides of these sublimation printed rounds. I worked with a friend nearby to print these on her new printer. Its exciting to connect and collaborate with other creative people in the ways they want to create. We all rise with we work together!
Rectangle, Neoprene Lip-balm Holder Keychains: Art images and Blessings are fused into the neoprene. The keychain is designed to hold a standard size chapstick or lipbalm container. They also perfectly fit the Resonance Ingots and can be the perfect way to tote your Resonance charm with you.
Resonance Ingots, “Balanced Levity” & “MO Goddess Series 2”: I create Art and Talismans that resonate with helpful intention, positive vibes, and material designs of esoteric nature. Resonance Ingots are like small gold bars of good luck and blessings cast in epoxy resin (at least this is what I intend them to be). As we embrace the ideas of quantum physics and modern science frontiers I think it is a good idea to believe in miracles and magic. We might need both. The Ingots are cast in limited sets of 10 to 14 pieces. Each of them come with a card bearing the purpose, materials, date of creation, number of pieces in the limited series, and my Artist signature.
Pendants, “Ancient Ones”: These suspensions of minerals and totem in UV Resin contain Opals, Diopside, Copper, and Zircon with a sea turtle figurine swimming through. I call this series “Ancient Ones” because the Zircon is the oldest known gemstone, Diopside is potentially Billions of years old, and the sea turtle is one of the oldest continuous inhabitants of this world. Opals are young comparatively, but still Millions of years old in their formation. I love how the rainbow sheen glitters in the Opal as if it is calling the Turtle up to it, calling the Ancients to join us in the modern day and Bless Us as we rise.
Quartz Clusters and Crystal Resonance Clusters: I make a trip to the Quartz Mines in Arkansas each year. I started for fun and now I gather the bits of amazing mineral miracle to share in my Artwork and as general pieces of interest for everyone. The Quartz Clusters are simply interesting pieces of Arkansas Quartz set in a base of epoxy resin and metals. The Resonance Clusters are made of various crystal minerals and loose Arkansas Quartz points set in a base of epoxy resin. I used a silicone mini-muffin tray as the casting mold. Like my other Resonance Art, the epoxy resin and process of creation is infused with therapies of Sound (528Hz Music), Color (choice of stones, decor of casting area, color of light), and Light (violet light LEDs in curing space)
“Goddess Pillar”
Soaring from immersive depths, a rising rainbow helix of crystalline minerals culminates in an uplifted awareness of the Divine Feminine in our world. This pillar, cast in an upcycled glass coffee carafe, is based inside an upcycled artisan ceramic bowl we received as a gift for our wedding.
The metal layers in the base and the ascending layered progression of cast resonance play on scientific and spiritual theories of our cultures. The crystal circle in the base reminds us of the Compass points to help guide our way. The Goddess Pillar as a whole was developed with intention to explore, harmonize, and bring more love and care into the world.
It was created in a process from 2023 to 2025.

Cast in Low VOC Epoxy Resin: Mixed Crystals, Mixed Metals, Ceramic Bowl by Nambe Ceramics, New Mexico
“Meta Cube”
I am fascinated by things beyond our senses and the potential for miraculous outcomes, like metaphysics and levitation. The Meta Cube is my first attempt at artistic negative space in a cast resin sculpture. I wanted to see how I could make something appear suspended in the resin which is quite liquid until the point it cures solid. The uniformity of the square shape allowed me to use a cube mold and rotate the casting as I made interesting, possibly “floating” arrangements.
The success of the placement of the marble and copper- wrapped crystal compelled me to photograph the outcome. This very “meta” casting experience of the Meta Cube inspired an epic expansion of my creativity.

Blessing Poems
In my path to accepting my role as Artist, I considered what my gifts are and what I might make of them to share with my community. I recalled a poem called “Desiderata”, by Max Ehrmann, that my mother had hanging on the wall of our home during my childhood which imprinted itself in my mind and which I still consider a guidepost. In my most important aspect, made by Creation to be here now, I too write Blessing Poems for people to find when they need them. I developed a Blessing Poem for a fellow participant in an YES Jam experience which has become printed wall Art in the show. I also created a unique Blessing Poem for the show:
Bless you, Friend. Thank you for sharing in my vision. May it all go really well for you and all those you love.
