MacLeod’s work is inspired by innovation through spontaneity, the universality of intuition, and the spirit of adventure which often leads her to remote, international destinations.
Her work also explores a wide range of transpersonal terrain including natural cycles, subconscious elements, archetypal symbolism, divination, and ecofeminist insight.
Her interest in the herstory of gynocentric iconography and most particularly the feminist-forward work of artists Mendieta, Chicago, Af Klint, Carrington, de Saint Phalle, Gray, and Saar led her to studies in art and psychology at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Shortly thereafter, she completed her doctorate at the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology, Palo Alto, CA, specializing in perinatal mental health and creative expression.
