My greatest Aha! Moment kind of crept in on me, and I continue to fall up into it.
It totally turned my life around. Aside from being a mother and now grandmother, it became my life’s mission. It changed the way that I actually see the world and as an artist, my mission is to share that vision so others can see the world in a more meaningful way, full of inspiration, possibilities and blessings.
The image of Lamb of Joy below is a kind of one-size-fits-all for the story of Passover and Easter. But when I see it, I think of King David, when he was just a shepherd boy stuck out on the backside of the desert. Maybe that is due to my personal feeling of being stuck out in a “desert” as I wrestled to turn inspiration, information, revelation and art into a cohesive, entertaining (and at times funny), inspirational and informative book.
The colorful image of a Monarch Butterfly below is created with strokes that are the original Torah font letters of Psalm 145. So, in reality, if you were looking at the original postcard sized artwork, what you really would be holding a tumbled painted mix of Psalm 145’s letters, which are painted, and written with fine art ink many times.
No one can walk with The Divine in the past. Nor is it possible to do so in the future. All we have is now.
The Divine is always present in the Now. It is our challenge to let go of our past baggage, worries, concerns, unresolved emotional difficulties with others, anger, and what ever else is running through our minds – and take the bold step of focusing on the immediate now.
Moments when life changes, when we wonder how we will go on — what we can do—how life as we know it can go on, are challenging and changing. Yet often it seems as if life just continues on somehow, but the way we see life, our unique interior views, have forever changed. These are dead ends that are openings to transformation.
Although the majority of my work continues to be in the preparatory stage of black and white for now, I must and do return to color, as a kind of break or vacation, because on some level as an artist I need color.
The job of the artist is to lead through inspiration, sharing a transformative new and unique (discovered) way of perceiving ourselves and our world. When we truly connect with an inspiring work of art, we know it because we remember it the rest of our lives.
