Did you hear it?

That's the sound of our Wild Hearts beating in synchronicity

Welcome to my new blog and happy Halloween, it's been so long since I've shared anything that I'm bursting at the seams with experiences, creations and ideas to catch you up on.

If you're new to me and this blog - Welcome, I'm so glad you found me :)

Is your heart wild like mine? Are you longing to live with genuine connection with the rhythm of the seasons, cycles and the ebb and flow of the seas?

Perhaps you are like me and not afraid of the dark and don't jump at shadows. My Wild Heart chases them, stalks them, all for the love of adventure. The hunt is the prize, the unknown doesn't make my heart tremble like it does for some less wild and perhaps not in tune with their natural self as much as you and I are.

Horror is a matter of perspective. What strikes fear into us all is as diverse as we are. I am (not exclusively) a Horror artist by genre. Some of you might think that's because I draw gruesome Bible scenes and grief inducing art therapy paintings. Maybe you think that's because I read fearful tales to Veterans to help them sleep. It might be true that those actions and creations make me by definition a horror artist, but I think my person existing and my potential incites great terror in some. This is incomprehensible to me because I'm definitely a gentle soul who seeks to gift others with joy and freedom. But it's those principals that make wild hearts like yours and mine a threat to those who want to control others for their own means.

We set sail on this project on the auspicious date of Halloween, because to some less brave hearts, wild hearts like yours and mine connecting and meeting together will strike horror into their being. I'm not sure why kindred wild spirits exploring the oceans of culture and civilisation together should make them tremble. Nor do I understand the concept of wanting to tame those that dance in joy and grief or to make it rain.

Regardless of the fear of others we will press on bringing our wild hearts together in this little space.

Together we will devour knowledge and drink laughter. Here we will run free without fear of feminine rage, without hiding from our shadow selves. We certainly won't be taming our wild selves here for the comfort level of those out of touch with their ancestors and the Earth.

If you understand or can relate to a modern primitive soul like myself then please come back again and let's journey together for a spell along this road of life. If you find yourself gripped with a sense of doom by this blog - HAPPY HALLOWEEN :)

Think of this blog as a small clearing in the forest of the internet. Here we can sit together in peace amongst my artworks and I share my peace with you, kindred Wild Heart.

Come back tomorrow morning if you can.

I'll be up listening to the birds
