Featured Body Liberation Stock contributor: Kathleen Marshall

Meet Kathleen Marshall, one of Body Liberation Stock’s contributors!

Here’s how Kathleen describes herself:

Kathleen Marshall is a San Francisco Bay Area native, transplanted to Reno, Nevada where she lives with her husband, dogs, parrot and chickens. A former theatrical costumer, she currently teaches middle school. She loves fairy tale illustration of the Golden Era as well as multicultural spiritual art.

Flora’s Pond came from a dream I had in grad school. I dreamed there was a diner in the middle of nowhere. The owner, a woman named Flora, served up primordial soup to anyone who needed to feel recharged. The soup came from a hole in the floor where the primordial soup of creation had not hardened.

This dream has inspired me to create the work I do. I hope my work inspires people to feel the joy of the universe and know they are a part of it, today, right now, in this moment, just as they are.
