I create symbolic images and language that help orient us through life’s thresholds, descent, desire, loss, transformation, and return.
Through painting, clinical practice, and writing, I explore how the inner world takes shape in the body and how meaning can be found inside even the darkest passages.
Soulful Bones
Art, psyche, and the body in conversation
The Work
My practice moves through three intertwined forms:
Image
Painted symbolic forms rooted in archetype, myth, and lived experience
tools for contemplation and reflection.
Body
Over two decades of clinical practice in acupuncture and somatic healing,
supporting people through illness, life transitions, grief, and psycho-somatic experience.
Language
Writing that brings psychological depth to ordinary human experience,
orienting us to recurring terrains rather than prescribing escape from them.
These are not separate practices, but different ways of listening.

About this work
Where many books promise answers or systems to follow, Soulful Bones offers a map, a way of recognizing where you are inside experience rather than rushing to change it. Through skull paintings, mythic resonance, clinical reflection, dreamwork, and psychological insight, this work traces five recurring inner terrains that return again and again across a lifetime.
Each territory, containment, entanglement, dissolution, mediation, and stillness, has its own quality, shape, and logic. The skulls are not metaphors superimposed onto theory, but structural companions: images in which psyche, body, and symbol meet.
The Book
Soulful Bones: A Map of Symbol, Psyche, and the Descent
An illustrated guide to initiation, not as escape or transcendence, but as deepening.
This book blends art, myth, lived experience, and psychological inquiry into a companion for those moments when life narrows, shifts, or asks us to go inward. The skulls at its heart function as doorways into landscapes of psyche often felt but seldom named.
Available soon.
