The new month of September is momentus for several reasons. It is the month of the ripening of crops for Indigenous peoples of the desert southwest. It is the month of my birthdate with many of my family members including my materal grandmother.

I adore the coming fall season and for me September is the month that begins that change. As an artist this month stands as my muse. I am inspired by September's air outside, I am inspired by the slight turn of warm breezes to cool. And, I am inspired by night star constellations that fall brings.

This too is about ADORNMENT. The change of the night star life is continual, the dark universe perpetuates ADORNMENT in how the may constellations change from season to season. I would consider this male ADORNMENT, as in many Indigenous cultures of the Northern Hemisphere consider the sky as male. So it is the Father Sky that is ADORNED in night and day.

As a visual artist I can only express my inspiration through my paintings. At this time I share my original works above. They are my current visual interpretations of ADORNMENT. They are my medicine for my well-being and I hope they travel with to the community with good thougts and blessings of a beautiful life.

Painting, creating is my healing. It is a must.

Blessings in all things.
