CHEETAH AND THE SUN
When I work with Cheetah, I feel energized in a feeling similar to Spring. You know, when the light is changing and you can feel the buzz of everything from the microorganisms to the mountain starting to wake up and move. Life force.

When I worked with Cheetah in two paintings last year, I was taken with their incredible relationship with light. I had a story come in about how, before embodying on Earth, they were sky beings and were friends with the stars. When it came time to be in animal body the stars didn’t want to leave Cheetah, and so they inverted as black spots on their bodies and gave this incredible relationship with light. They can spot prey over 3 miles away. Imagine that.

As I worked this drawing I was feeling into the body of Cheetah as if it was the surface of our turning Earth. I felt the earth turning under the warmth of the sun, our time marked by our own rotation, the passing of one lifetime, of light and shadow, day and night, and the importance of twilight.

Honestly this piece felt simply, deeply, of honoring those rhythms and each day, and each night, that we live in our own animal body.
