Bio

Originally from Ontario, Canada, Vibrata has been living in California since 1999. As well as appearing regularly in galleries and alternative art venues in the Bay Area, Vibrata's intermedia paintings and digital work have been shown in Los Angeles, Seattle, New York, Chicago and as far away as Turkey, Portugal and Japan.

Vibrata was given her name during a meditation in 1998. Along with the name she was shown a vision of waves of energy, undulating and expanding infinitely in all directions as a continuum. It was the triggering event for a profound change in her work, and since then she has been in perpetual dialogue with the vision through her paintings.

Her images include elements of symmetry and rhythmic patterning, geometry and the use of beguiling perceptual distortions. She is an intermedia artist, seamlessly blending computer design with traditional acrylic-on-canvas techniques.

"I am distilling the essence of my subjects into their most basic energy patterns. The formal properties of each piece inform through metaphor of the nature of movement and change. This is an exploration of the infinitely divisible; Existence as a continuum."

Vibrata is a seven-time veteran of the Burning Man festival, held every year in Nevada, introducing her own art installation there called "the Wind Oracle" in 2003 and contributing her art to the Connexus Cathedral and Entheon Village in 2006. As a lecturer and presenter, Vibrata was featured at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco for the Mind States conference, and at CoSM gallery in NYC in 2005. She has been featured in such publications as the Entheogen Review, the CoSM Journal of Visionary Culture, and the Elfintome Visionary Arts Collective Catalogues. Vibrata is a member of YLEM, Artists using Science and Technology, and is a long time member of the Rhythm Society, an intentional community focused on spiritual experience through dance.
