I see tree people.

Sometimes as an artist (or reasonable facsimile of one) you are torn between creating for the dollar or digging deeper to what you want to express, payday or no. 

Yesterday I was setting out to make SOMETHING and just couldn't muster one more bearded dude. 

I simply asked myself 'What do you see?'

I sketched out one design and traced it onto wood. Today I finished it. 

The older I get, the more aware and empowered I am of my power as a female human. I tolerate less crap, forgive more foibles, and view the world from a wider scope. 

This carving is a continuation in my quest to understand the nuances of carving and drawing female forms and capturing not just a beauty but infusing them with power.
