Wishes or Weeds?

This image reminded me of my childhood and every time I saw a Dandelion, I would pick it and make a wish.  So, in this image, I see wishes and choose to hold on to my innocent belief that they are not weeds but wishes delivered to the Universe via a simple breeze.  Next time you see a Dandelion, stop, pick it, and make your wish! Only true believers will see their wishes materialize!  Today I wish for peace and equality for all.

Gallery owners and art collectors I will be in Massachusetts from October 9th through 29th if you would like to see samples of my work, I will have some with me.   Some samples will be from both collections Spirit of the land Infrared images and Sanctuary for the soul photozaics.

Crissy Beach

Sometimes you just need to surrender to the scene and get pulled into the wonders it has to offer your senses.  That is what happened to me when I came upon this boardwalk while walking the beaches in San Francisco’s Marina District.  The boardwalk pulls me to the water and my eyes circle around the remnants of old docks, Sausalito, and Alcatraz off in the distance.  I can still smell the salty sea air and hear the foghorn sounding off warning ships of the bridge when I look at this photo.

Come check out my hybrid exhibition One last road trip leads to Sanctuary for the Soul. This Exhibition is a mix of my Photozaics framed art offered in color and infrared photographs images with a sprinkle of my black n white Infrared photos matted in black with simple black framing.

 As we approach 1 million deaths from Covid in our country, we are all challenged with finding ways to process our grief. In 2019 I lost my father and decided to take his ashes on one last road trip.  Or, at least, that was my plan, but I then decided to include him in every trip I’ve taken since.  The photographs I am taking are my way of thanking him for giving me my eye for photography. Going on these road trips is a memorial to him in appreciation of the ever-changing landscapes.   I went out into the world with an open but broken, heart looking to find peace in Mother Nature’s arms.  I’ve found her to be a great place to recharge my soul in the past. 

The viewer will be surrounded by nature photos with mosaics that will open them up to another plane of consciousness. The addition of mosaic frames will awaken your curiosity about what lies beyond the frame.  Each viewer will have a different experience.  This exhibition is a place for visitors to recharge their souls from daily stresses, sparking their senses and curiosity.   As I create my photozaics I often lose myself in the process.  The viewers of my work also find the details of the mosaic will draw them into the photo where they will find a sanctuary for their soul.   I truly believe art heals the mind, body, and soul.  The Norwegian University of Science and Technology discovered a definite correlation between participating in cultural activities, i.e. creating art, visiting art galleries, and attending concerts with increased rates of good health.

Pine Edged Road
Sized medium PER20x17x12021-1

Sometimes the path in life is not clearly defined.  The only thing you can do is to breathe deeply, put your faith in the universe, and take the first step.  Life’s road will have curves, enjoy them as they will bring you to wonderful places if you surrender.  Road trips allow my mind to wander and absorb what Mother Nature shows me.  I especially love watching the landscape change from mountains to desert; from city to Rolling country farms; brightly colored flowers to drab gray foggy scenes.  All of these are gifts from her, so give thanks.  Get out in nature and recharge your soul!

Golden Gate Bridge

I headed to San Francisco for an art show and decided to give myself a few extras days to explore this great City by the Bay. As the fog lifted, I snapped photos of the various areas in the Marina District.  When the fog burnt off, I walked the area again up a long hill to capture this photograph.  Nature really makes all these colors work together.

Pallet Mountain- IMAGE

My soul was itching to get out and wonder; but instead of looking to the natural landscape, a nudge from the universe to photograph industrial landscapes.  I Waited to bring attention to human consumption and waste of our natural resources.  What is man trying to do here?  Create a mountain for the gods of trash?  Paying respect to Mother Nature trying to recycle what was taken from her?  What do you see?

Road trips recharge my soul and fuel my creativity.  On this road trip, I headed to Sleepy Eye, MN where they have the nicest owners of Sleepy Eye stain glass shop.  The drive takes a few hours to get there, and I enjoy taking the single-lane county highways.  The landscape is dotted with farmhouses, newly planted crops, gently rolling hills, small creeks with forest groves.  I was blessed with Bob Ross kind of clouds, Horses greeting me to say good morning. 

This scene captivated my eyes as the hint of lime green sprouts just breaking the jet-black soil accompanied the Seeds Mother Nature planted earlier in the Spring.

About Danger:

Danger

I found this sign walking along Mississippi River Road in Saint Paul; I found this sign warning me of the appending Danger of the cliff’s edge.  This sign defines Covid-19 and Civil unrest and now attacks Women’s right to choose.  We are entering dangerous times and need to stand up for all Equality.

Replacement artwork titled: Empty frame formally known as “Bridge to Wonder”

The image you see before you is an empty frame instead of “Bridge to Wonder,” an image that captures my soul and the way I see life to be; as a female artist, I cannot with goodwill send my art to a state that doesn’t recognize women as equals or allow them control over their own bodies.  I choose to stand in Solidarity with the women of Texas and other states.

Empty Frame formally known as Bridge To Wonder replaced the image that was supposed to be in this exhibition.

Empty frame is priced at $10,000.00 and all money I make on this frame or exhibition will be donated to The Lilith Fund. Link Below:
