I view all creative works as prayers from our hearts to God. This month’s offering is a pencil drawing I created in 2001, with accompanying prayer text.

This month’s painting and writing is from my book, “The Enchanted Mirror” (1999, Papillon Press). It is a mythical journey to find Self-Love, for Mothers, Daughters, and people of all ages. The protagonist Serena is searching for a mirror that once she gazes into it, will reveal once and for all who she really is! Since this doesn’t exist, she must find the ingredients and make it herself.

Pandora, (like Icarus, featured in April), is also from Greek Mythology.. Certainly both of them were courageous! When Pandora opened the box — all kinds of scary things flew out — but she shut it in time to keep Hope in the box.

This painting has been exhibited and won awards — but more importantly, it is one of my favorites. When I painted it in Colorado, I didn’t know I would study healing at The Barbara Brennan School of Healing a few years later. That’s when I realized that the creativity and inspiration the Artist receives at the Artist’s table, is from the same Source, and is made of the same essence as what the Healer receives at the healing table.

April brings double blessings featuring 2 companion paintings. The first one is our Mythological Greek friend Icarus who flew too close to the Sun and fell back to Earth! Our second friend doesn’t have a name and tells us a whole different story.

This whimsical and also spiritual painting reminds me of joy, color, vibration, happiness and connection. All of that is longing to express itself through each one of us — especially after so many months of contraction and separation.

I’m committed to sharing one of my paintings every month for this whole year of 2021. I would love to hear your impressions, feelings, and perceptions. My January offering is: “Duality Meets Neutrality”
