Ashes Two Dust is a photo-to-video exploration of impending loss and the growth that one can find in the mindful examination of this ubiquitous experience.

My art is inspired from nature. I use my art to go beyond the personal and into the natural world where it has the potential to reshape and heal; to grab the viewer and request they slow down and notice all that is around them.

I began this study as a way to explore and open up my experience as I watched my elderly parents move nearer to death. I used my personal experience, my insight as an artist and expertise as a psychotherapist to navigate my contradiction of feelings.
