"Much of my subject matter centers on our embodied connection to Nature, the energies
found there that are also within us, and their relationships to our individuated primal
natures. I often weave in themes related to the political zeitgeist that range from eco-
feminism to human rights. With my watercolor practice I engage with the space, the
water and colors in a way that allows for the unfoldment of harmony and the surrender
of any fixed plans. It allows for divine “accidents,” unexpected magic and an openness
to the Mystery that can’t be described through language. Expressing my true nature
through art is my path to self-actualization, and the integration of my many selves into
wholeness." - Courtney Wynn Sheets
“I dare Butoh. Again and again, I dare the Butoh seed planted in me to push through the husk of what was dark nothingness into shadow and lies of possibility. Butoh lies, where granite waits and oceans hide, before our ancient 4.54 billion rounded rock speaks of time. Without requirement, no one listens to the alchemy of light, sound, movement and stillness. Life dances with primal coherence, in particles and waves and frequency, a rhythm hurling into attraction so unbreakable, with such passion, purpose and commitment for the whole of its body and surrounding space, a moon smiles. That time when a volcano’s burst of laughter created sculpture, when every one of San Andreas’ faults made us tremor, it was a butterfly dreaming to be human. The dance breaks the surface of conformity. It absorbs irradiance until blossoms of color and terrestrial insolation explodes the seed space with its truth. Living magma, turns rock, turns loamy womb of holding. And time disintegrates. It is the water bearer. Time is quenched to the core. Water, within and without, shapeshifts an overflow into a glacier that floats within a stone worn cup of water. Before that time, unseen time, vapor drifts its ghost like fingers, caressing and clinging to solid edges before it gets carried away into another cyclical finality. Each form weaves moments into mystery and meaning.” – Mary Power 2025
