INSTRUCTORS MOON

Growing up on the coast of Miami, Florida, Lexy was always found in nature and in the ocean. She found the natural world most inspiring, and went on to receive a degree in Biology. After receiving her degree, she decided to dig deeper into the ways of her ancestors, learning more about plant medicine and primitive skills. Her grandparents were nomadic Romanian Romani’s (Gypsies). They migrated to New York during World War II. She found that her individuality was deeply seeded from her Grandmother and the Eastern European nomadic culture.

I am a painter and illustrator, creating medicine beings in imagined landscapes. I often find these works to contain oracular elements woven with the archetypes. It is my joy to bring forth imagery that has a peaceful and magical essence. My work is intuitive and a timeless process. I allow the spaciousness to reveal the direction a piece wants to go. I paint in oils, acrylics, and watercolor. I am deeply inspired by the natural world, which I experience daily living by a wild and free river in Southern Oregon. more of my work can be found at www.lindykehoe.com   Lindy will be leading and sharing her work in the Artist Village at both sessions...

Mary inhabits the liminal hinterlands of sensuality and paradox. Though her body of work spans form and genre—she mostly creates through the lens of a poet. Weaving, knitting, spinning and wool have been potent teachers on her path of devotional remembrance. The dynamic tension inherent in fiber arts lives in her heart and hands not just as metaphor, but as deep creational truth that feeds and inspires her research, play, and praxis. As woman, mother, artist and devotee to the mystery— Mary’s work is dedicated to exploring the erotic backwaters of our wild aliveness. Opening to the penetrative pulse of life surging through the terrestrial realm, the sensual unfurling waiting to spring forth when women embody their God-given *permission*, and the integrated spiritual embodiment that this...
