This series is the culmination of several years of Studies of Shamanism which eventually led me to move to Norther California to join the program of Contemporary Female Shamanism at MotherPeace Institute in Oakland. My research was initially focused on the matriarchal lineage of the Mapuche, the indigenous inhabitants of Southern Chile and their Cosmovision and their Shamanic spiritual practices.
As the series developed, the themes also expanded and cross over into the documentation of my experiences of Sacramental Plant Medicine. This series was developed over the course of 20 years and was complete in 2013 with my painting named "The Divine Masculine."
