Artist Statement

“Never use a Ouija board!” people would warn, always citing some dramatic tale of possession or poltergeist. Growing up, I heard those words more than once from adults or fellow kids. Almost everyone had the standard Hasbro Ouija Board tucked away in an attic, ready to be used at sleepovers or Halloween.

My best friend and I used a Ouija board during our college years, always ending up with stories forged by ghostly letters. We were fueled by curiosity and what would happen next. It didn’t matter if we were subconsciously pushing the planchette or being visited by otherworldly entities. A good time was had by all ? at least, those among the living. The spirits never seemed to complain.

As a tribute to the small adventures carried out in basements and dorm rooms, I made this spirit board. I find deer to be haunting on their own. Historically, they’ve been the messengers of the spirit world, the mounts of the fae, and animals of high significance, so it seemed appropriate to blend the two traditions of the otherworld together.

Spirit Board Painting is Going to be in a Show!

Hooray!  I was so glad this one made it in, it's one of my fave pieces this year.

Putting together my Artist Statement today.  This is an online show, but it means that Spirit Board is in the running for a live show, so I will be framing her up this coming week just in case.
