“Consequences”, the signature piece from the Genetic Bill of Rights Painting Series by Mariam Muradian & C.C. Arshagra. The artist was rapidly losing her sight throughout the painting of the entire series; this one signature piece was painted by Mariam Muradian when she was blind (a side effect suffered from a medication given to assist her heart). The Genetic Bill of Rights was drafted in 2000 by The Council for Responsible Genetics and GeneWatch, yet most people do not even now that it exists. These rights exist for everyone; to inform people that they have the right to govern their own genes, bodies, cultures, and biodiversity.The entire card set is worth owning and sharing. The knowledge this series embodies is priceless. 2007 Copyright. All Rights Reserved to Mariam Muradian. / Acrylics, oil pastels, charcoal on 48”x 60” canvas.

A revised version of my ‘Middlesbrough Drops’ watercolour painting. The coal drops on the river Tees estuary, in the 1830’s. / In the foreground, is the Tees river ferry – which in those days, was a small, rowing boat. I love the daunting and weird, distant grey structures, ready to drop the coal upon the collier (coal) ships. My version of a Thomas Harrison Hair, 1837 watercolour. Watercolour and HB pencil.

The painting is based on a photo I took on Dartmoor a few years ago. The light was fantastic and I’ve expanded on that to create this vibrant landscape.

“I wouldn’t recommend sex, drugs or insanity for everyone, but they’ve always worked for me.” Hunter S. Thompson (American Journalist and Author, 1937-2005)
The guys from Wardan Aboriginal Centre and the Noyt Kobori Spirit Dancers really put on a wonderful traditional performance for us at the Busselton Beach Festival…. the music and dance was spectacular and fascinating to see. The amazing part was how many children from the audience got up to dance as well, given the fact that judging by this face, it might have been a little “scary”!!!! Thank you “David”!

More Than Religion / Mark 7:7-8 NIV: “They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men. You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to the traditions of men.” / Brought up beneath the church rafters of modern Christianity, a believer can find himself or herself wondering, “What´s the point?” So much of what is done at church seems filled with repetitious recital and traditional practice. You have your dos to do, and your don´ts to avoid,but isn´t there more? There is indeed. We were not called into a relationship with Christ so that we would enslave ourselves to legalistic rules or complicated rites. We are called to come to Jesus freely and to find freedom in Him through a relationship unlike any other we could have. As we draw closer to Jesus, it is necessary to practice disciplines within our Christian lives. But, the dos and don´ts, repetition and tradition were not meant to become our focus, but to better enable us to focus on Jesus. We can do church all day,but only the religious practice that holds for us purpose and meaning to draw us closer to Jesus, will be the kind of religion that means anything to us at all….. / Mysweetlord ‘Thinking of you’..experimental digital creation..all proceeds to charitylink ....

I seem to go back to the Native American in my artwork…I have some kind of affinity through the memories of growing up just outside the Rosebud Reservation in Valentine, Nebraska. My childhood visions are as strong today as they were when I would stand and witness the heart pounding, fast paced, emotional and colorful pow-wows. / The gathering of the tribes from the Nebraska/Dakota territory would come together…man, woman and child and a mystical energy would hold them for days …the energy had a far reaching effect…it touched a little girl standing on the outside watching, holding her Grandmother’s hand…. and it has lasted a life time. / This is an oil and acrylic painting, painted on gallery wrapped artist portrait canvas. / 16”X20” / Original is For Sale.
