I love swirling together medicine, energy and intuition in order to heal the body on a deeper level then medicine alone could ever do.

One way I love to play with these dynamics is to literally rip out a page from my old anatomy textbook from med school and paint in the new *reality* that I have discovered is the true secret to health.

    Being a physician it is so interesting for me to look back and reflect on what we were taught as impressionable young students in medical school... the model for disease and healing was such a narrow and rigid box that has not at all reflected the reality of health and healing that I have seen with my patients.

    I've seen miracles. 

     I've seen love. 

    I've seen how thoughts and choosing a new vantage point have profoundly impacted outcome.

    It was my true pleasure to flip back through my old anatomy book and decide that we need some new labels. 

    Naming organs and labeling things just constricts everything down into a dry factoid that doesn't at all reflect life.

    Life is not linear. It is dynamic. There are no labels on our vital organs and tissues... there is real life, energy exchange, and flow.  

 Nothing I was taught during my medical training prepared me for the magic that is the essence of life.

    So it's time for some new energy to pulse out of you with every beat of your heart.

Every beat is a new moment.

Every beat is a new opportunity.

Every beat holds an interconnectedness with all others.

     

   If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with something in the linear world of medicine... just remember this. They don't know it all. 

    I've been there and back and I can say it for sure: they don't know it all. You do. You have your own healing energy flowing to you right now.

    This inspirational artwork will help remind you of that.

I used acrylic paint and archival inks to paint right on top of my medical school anatomy texbook illustration of the cross section of the chest.    The original has sold.

I also have professionally printed Giclee prints featuring archival inks on gorgeous heavy weight velvet smooth archival paper.   Prints are 8 x 10 inches and are signed.
