It is my pleasure to invite you to the online presentation of many of my diverse passions and creative energies. I have been a Karuna Reiki Master for over 15 years, art teacher and working designer/ artist for over 40 years. I am a Native Californian, have traveled lived in such beautiful places in the Western U.S including Maui and acquired a BA in Art from Cal State Fullerton, exploring ways in which creativity can become physical form through observation, imagination and focus. I use only quality materials to create one-of-a-kind pieces in a variety of mediums, materials and techniques. These Include canvas and welded sculpture, inrticate watercolor on both paper and silk, weaving, on and off loom, leather and paper mache masks, molded leather work and beadwork with gems/stones, and shells, which is the main product I am currently selling at most shows and galleries.
I find inspiration by allowing form and light to dance and integrate with color and design, hence the magical blend that reflects a certain orchestration to create a final piece often with a healing energy...hence healing journey jewelry. What you are about to see is an on-going process and evolvement of years of the love of creation, ever changing and developing in the way and what I create. There are always additions here... hence this web site still is in constant construction. I often have much more and newer pieces(jewelry) with me as I travel to art shows, so if you see something you like, it may not be currently available, but I can create something similar or send you photos of my current stock. I have traveled South for the Winter(AZ) then back up in the northwest for the Summer.I have relocated to Hawaii and plan to stay here except for occassional trips back to the maildna to visit family.
As for the sculptures,some of this work is already in place in office buildings, or in private collections, while others are available for sale or special order.
SCHEDULE:This is for those who want to find me or at least know where I will be to purchase/order a piece from me directly or just to say "Hi!" I will attempt to put in my schedule as often as I am able...it is often Last minute,or within a weeks notice if I am lucky and sometimes I am not able to get into a show or event. Check in or contact me @ my e-mail...arayalght@gmail.com...Aloha
Aug 23-...update I am currently staying in Portland and the Coast.I will no longer be at the Saturday Market in Portland. If you need to contact me while in Portland or want to see my work for a private showing or a trunk show before the end of Oct, please contact me directly.
Dec.2011- I am in tne process of moving back to Hawaii, and will be continuing my work there. If you want to know where I am keep checking this page and of course I will update what/when I am able to add to this collection. Mahalo
As I slowly begin my relocation (Jan 2012), I will be doing small venues and will list the galleries I still have work in and new ones here as well. Please bear with these changes as I create the best places where you can find me and my work.
