“I experience the creative process as a form of prayer.
It is my sanest response to the world.
It keeps me whole and connects
me
to the mystery.”
—Sue Ellen Parkinson
My work is about honoring and celebrating womankind. I am replacing the old images generated by the patriarchy with images of women that show their resiliency and wisdom. From Eve, to the present moment, the feminine has either been misrepresented, maligned or erased from history.
I was not raised as a Christian but through my own inner pilgrimage, I’ve discovered that I carried these negative stories and images deep inside myself. These unidentified lies were an invisible burden. They effected the way I felt about myself, and the way I choose to move through the world.
As I first began to restore Mary Magdalene’s identity, to the wise and sovereign being that I believe she was, I simultaneously felt a deep shift within myself. I’ve became more peaceful, and empowered. I am able to rest in who I truly am. Most unexpected and important: I feel a deeply affirming connection with Her. It has been a profoundly healing experience. Such is the transformative power of creativity.
