“The Compassionate Witness Cathedral”

❤️ February painting of 2021: A Year of Art & Healing

Dear All —

The way I make Art is the way I do Healing and Therapy: being present, listening, seeing, waiting for inspiration, and sharing what shows up.

The themes of Art and Healing, for me, are intertwined.  Cultivating Witness Consciousness within our own hearts is a meditation practice, and a healing practice.  Noticing our thoughts and feelings as they arise, and exercising Compassion for ourselves, rather than criticism, profoundly changes our relationship to ourselves, and to others.

Having love and compassion for ourselves and sharing it with others is the best Valentine’s Day gift!  Wishing you a happy Valentine’s Day a bit early, to honor my Mother and Father’s Anniversary. 

I’d love to hear how you felt about this painting.  See you in March❤️💕💜

With best regards,❤️

Gail
