Animal Teachers

Also known as spirit animals or animal guides the animal teachers in my art come from lessons I’ve learned and continue to learn – from my heart to yours. There are many traditional teachings about the specific traits and meanings attributed to different animals. I find these teachings to be an important jumping off place for a deeper, more personal exploration. Some of my most poignant lessons come from sitting quietly with the teacher in front of me. This means building a relationship with the crow that just flew so close overhead it ruffled your hair; the skunk out for an evening forage, content to walk alongside you at a respectful distance; or the group of Canada Geese that just flew by, blowing your heart wide open.
