I
am an artist currently creating art quilts that incorporate my own digitally altered photographs printed onto fabric. I consider the process a form of surface design. I began using Photoshop when it was introduced, and recently discovered the wide world of apps for my iPad Pro and iPhone. I became interested in studying archetypes a number of years ago when I joined a discussion group focused on Caroline Myss’ Sacred Contracts. When I learned that Creative Strength Training would be studying archetypes as related to creativity, I signed up. As each archetype was introduced, I worked at creating new images using my photographs and several illustrations from my own childhood story books. As I worked along, I thought about

the meaning each archetype holds for me and the resulting images are my personal expressions. They are not intended as illustrations. I decided to print the images as a composite on paper which will be framed. Of the 20 images in the grid there are 16 archetypes. Several of the archetypes are dual. The remaining four images are included just for fun! Reading Left to Right. Row 1: The Child, The Saboteur, The Dilettante, The Mother/Servant. Row 2: The Prostitute, The Addict, The Lover, The Artist (and muses). Row 3: The Judge, The Historian/Teacher, The Victim, A Guardian. Row 4: The Dreamer/ Storyteller, The Vampire, The Engineer, A Florida Sunset. Row 5: The Rebel, The Committee, My Guardians, The Hermit.
