✨ The Auction Is Open – 48 Hours Only ✨

Happy Auction Day 1 to us!

I’m so excited to officially open bidding for the first painting in this special two-part auction.

We're starting with Cake Mountain, a large-scale piece from my 2011 collection—never before released, and available for the very first time. Details below on the painting, the inspiration and how to participate in the auction.

Cake Mountain is a painting from The Hero’s Cake collection. The HERO is a humorous yet earnest character who pursues her own enlightenment while also taking lots of opportunities to break out of the rigid path, say f*** it and explore, indulge and pursue her desires. Cakes, candies, studded mountain scapes and bursting clouds all make up the world the HERO lives in.

Messages From 30,000 Years Ago

Meeting the Foremother Meeting the Foremother, 48"x 60" oil on canvas Soon after I began My Beautiful Beast, the next breadcrumb appeared. A friend invited me to a guided meditation — a journey to meet my ancestral foremother. I said yes. We traveled 30,000 years back to a peaceful, pre-warring matriarchal society. I was told to bring an offering. I brought two gold nose rings. The place I saw was a fusion of two sacred sites in nature: one near Boulder, CO, the other in Yosemite. When I...
