I was messing around with this ideal, and thought it was an self portrait! I was wanting something for showing my own support, and this is how it turned out! I would like to think what I do is Art, but it seems as fun, and far to much enjoyment for that! I enjoy my creations, and thats great in itself! I am blessed to have the freedoms that I do, and hope what I do is considered as creative, and inspiring!

Or journey of the lost soul…I guess every day is a failure. I fail to live up to my own life. But I will die trying! I’m ready to make a leap of consciousness. The old struggles are no longer interesting. They do not engage my mind. My energy passes through them-they are mirages. I once sought big monuments of proof that I existed-no more. For me going deeper is better. Deeper insight is all that I seek…and a beautiful cup to drink from.

Self portrait done in 2007 . Photo of myself taken by myself using a timer. / Done with few of my designs & fine ART surround me. In this work, I wish to express my strong need to bring out of myself maximum, in ALL ways possible for ME. / In a serious manner, the way I am a serious person. I chose here to create underwater scenery, since it is one subject, I very much enjoy to get inspired by. I’m not a diver, nor will I be one, / I’m not a great swimmer… / YET… / I swim & dive wonderfully in ART :-) Thanks for viewing and commenting… May you always notice the light within yourself – it is your very special miracle of life. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ / Thanks so much RB, for making me featured artist of today. / / Copyrights© Nira Dabush

New Work-The LongNeck Sisters-Who looks inside, awakens.

So this is my newest completed work. (see my profile page, it’s called the LongNeck Sisters, first images in the box to the right, or just go to my blog at http://www.badkittyartstudio.wordpress.com to see more pictures) I have new people in my world, introducing the LongNeck Sisters. They have gone to the hill top, dressed in their robes of Autumn Song. They are watching the stars appear on a cloudless night. A patchwork blue sky that rolls and moves giving up only glimpses of the velvet veil. They are watching the future happen today. They are the gate keepers of history. They are on the hill top to observe the unfolding, the awakening. Dawn does not come for them, they live for the night and her mystery. Stars are their tea leaves and they divine the spiritual path, the awakening of souls into existence. That’s all I have so far. It seems that my work is revolving around building textural worlds, not just a painting anymore, they are stories and adventures I am not having in reality. I think they are more a documentary of one woman’s creative insanity explored…while I hold myself together through this cleaning ritual…Oy! I am feeling the buzz of creative depth returning to my thinking, my absorption rates are much higher, so my return out put is at a higher level overall. I have not managed to squeeze out any more time for the studio with my day job and all, but the time I am spending is of a better quality emotionally. I therefore feel more rewarded and want to come back sooner and do it some more. That’s good. I don’t want to create just because I can, just because I can turn my brain off and go auto pilot and still turn out stuff people like and want to buy…dose not mean I should do that all the time. yes art is a product, but I want my product to be meaningful if only to me while I create it, and that truth isn’t always pretty artwork. It’s nice when it happens, like this painting. It’s really pretty. The robes are rich and deep in color, I went out and gathered leaves of the maple trees around here, and tried to mach it…it’s the most drop dead kick you in the head wonderful burning color. I wanted them to be dressed in the colors of autumn, for real. The blues are extremely clear and sparkly. The heavy brush stroke is great when these paintings dry, because the paint acts like a reflective spark as light moves across it. So, it looks great just standing or sitting looking at it. As you get up and move around the patches of color will reflect the light and sparkle, twinkle and they take on a life like quality. It all depends on the light and angle at that moment. It will aways look different, and I like that…symbolically…it’s not captured thought it’s a living expression. I hope this post finds everyone fit and fine. I am doing well…it’s been 14 days and no smoking. I want to pull all my own hair out most of the time, but it’s getting better. It’s amazing how much extra time I now have…all the more time to work and wash dishes..woo-hoo. Blech. I have almost finished the new Monster Suit painting…it’s really fun and I am doing final details now…so I may be able to post that one before weeks end too. Neat-O! I will be painting more monsters, they appeal to the real inner me right now. Grrr! Have a great day one and all, Heather Buy some art today, Support living artists http://www.badkittyartstudio.com PS. the new painting above isn’t on my web site yet, which I have restrained myself long enough from saying is having a kick ass fine art blow out sale…ahem..so if you’d like to buy this new work…just drop me an email and I’ll hook you up. It’s all good. It’s just art baby!

Working in my studio on a child portrait I have never finished. At that time I had a psychiatrist friend, who was coming into my home studio in Adelaide very often and was bringing her work with her with no reason. Her negative comments regarding children portraiture affected me so much that I stopped working for a while and couldn’t paint anymore till she was out of my life. It took me a while to paint children again.

20×16” oil painting and ink on canvas. Inspired by Year Zero by NIN, specifically the track “In This Twilight.” This is my Resistance Fighter (a character I invented) and a dark self-portrait. The role we have in our planet’s destruction and ultimate demise is larger than we think. we’re all underground sometimes. ART IS RESISTANCE! Original painting not for sale. Lyrics to In This Twilight: watch the sun, / as it crawls across a final time / and it feels like, / like it was a friend. / it is watching us, / and the world we set on fire / do you wonder, / if it feels the same? and the sky is filled with light / can you see it? / all the black is really white / if you believe it / as your time is running out / let me take away your doubt / you can find a better a place / in this twilight from dust to dust, / ashes in your hair remind me / what it feels like / and I won’t feel again / night descends / could I have been a better person / if I could only do it all again and the sky is filled with light / can you see it? / all the black is really white / if you believe it / and the longing that you feel / you know none of this is real / you will find a better place / in this twilight

Acrylics & oil pastel on canvas 2008 Copyright. All Rights Reserved to Mariam Muradian. This painting was directly inspired by one of the visions I had in the Native American “Deeksha” Healing/Blessing on New Year’s Eve. My eyes were closed. / I saw penetrating yellow light pouring and radiating out from behind my eyes. I was able to see things in a “Maxfield Parrish way” again. Now consider from whence I have come….. August 2006 I was given a drug to assist my heart; helping to end 40 years of continual “heart attack magnitude” chest pain and to keep me from slipping in and out of consciousness. It was a new, still somewhat experimental, drug on the market….aka “expensive”. In January 2007, after my 13th heart surgery, the drug was increased to get me past a difficult recovery. I began having elevating pressures in my eyes and pain like knives inside my eyes. Very rapidly I lost my peripheral vision, my color vision, and my central vision. My eyes had become extremely light sensitive; I was given the darkest glasses. This was in the middle of painting The Genetic Bill of Rights Painting Series. I had to sort my colored paints into shades of grey (which I fell into quite naturally from my formal art training); I continued to paint in color even though I could not tell you what color it was, apart from some incredibly intuitive color vibrations I would get; sometimes I could even hear the color. The signature piece of that series was painted when I had only a sliver of vision remaining in my left eye. / Because I had so little sensitive vision left, the Blind Society deemed it unreliable and trained me blindfolded. I painted the signature piece 80% blindfolded. It was a beyond trippy time for me!!! During this whole loss of vision, I had the Blind Society coming to my home to train me in skills and navigation. I was taught to use a blind cane. I learned to type and use voice recognition software. I was learning to cook by sound. One day I set out to get the mail: I was gone for two hours, had fallen into a bush, and returned with no mail in hand! I was so overwhelmed and challenged. After much painful testing, it was decided that the new drug was the cause of the blindness. I was left with a lousy choice and no guarantees from the medical community. In October 2007, I found myself a long way from home, down a road that I didn’t like nor was I sure I could reverse, go back to the fork in the road, and choose again. Morphine and the runaway bobsled to hell! So I stopped the drug! I began Chinese Tong Ren. / Miraculously, my sight returned, color too! My peripheral is still not as it was before the drug…..whose complaining?!!! Painting is like candy to me now; I was born with the gift, but now it means even more! My mind and soul are still playing catch up with all that happened. I do not understand the “taking” or the “giving back” of it all…..maybe it is for the comfort of others? I suppose the worst way to come away from such a trial would be with a “metaphorically myopic soul”? (I would like to hear your comments on my last statement, please. Write.) What we see can be such a distracting illusion to the essence of what is really there. Oddly, sometimes I miss the darkness. I remember the lessons of the darkness. As my Father would say, “I have made the circumference.” / Gratitude does not even begin to cover it!.... ~Mariam Muradian See the other paintings in this series! /
