Map of Qualities Livestream

I was recently asked to participated in the “Plus/minus 2020” virtual exhibition hosted by Artilade Magazine! In which I did a livestream showcasing and working through one of my latest paintings, titled “Map of Qualities”. “Map of Qualities” is a new painting based on my experience practicing Lama Tsultrim Allione‘s Dakini Mandala meditation. The practice invites the practitioner to experience both the encumbered and liberated patterns of each of five Buddha families. We use the encumbered energy of each Buddha family as a gateway into experiencing ourselves as the liberated Dakini (sky dancer) goddess, each of which possesses her own flavor of wisdom. The practitioner experiences herself as containing this whole pantheon, in both its woundedness and its wisdom. It’s a wild ride that is orienting and empowering. This piece is oil on canvas, 48x48”
