ORIGINAL $300 plus postage and handling This mandala was created after a big breathwork meditation in which I felt the spirits of my grandmothers and greatgrandmothers all the way back to prehistory reach out to me. It was a time of crisis for me and to feel the essence of my maternal history with me, I was able to pass through and come out the other side relatively whole. The mandala symbolizes the presence of my foremothers all the way back to prehistory. The horses symbolize power and freedom. The all seeing eye is open to the wisdom of the past and the challenges and opportunities of the future. The colours are the colours of the earth, the sky, the wind and the rain. It is a powerful meditation tool linking my present with my past. Enjoy:) From the original acrylic on canvas, 20 inch x 20 inch All images are fully copyrighted, all rights reserved.

This elderly lady is one of the oldest inhabitants in the quaint town Villa del Totoral in Cordoba, Argentina / /

This elderly woman sits at the window and contemplates the world outside. She does not see far beyond the window frame because her world has diminished considerably. Two years ago she was officially diagnosed with dementia after a life threatening surgery and long hospital stay. However, her family and friends noticed a difference in her personality over the last several years. Once a proud and hard working single mom, she raised two children during the 60’s and 70’s at a time when single parenthood was not as widely accepted as it is today. At present, she is reduced to little more than the passive demeanor of a quiet child. She is aware of the reduction in both her mental and physical abilities. She also understands that she is helpless to change anything. / It takes great courage to face the inevitable. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia; it accounts for 64 per cent of all dementias. For example right now in the US, Alzeihmer’s has surpassed diabetes and is the sixth leading cause of death. As baby boomers are rapidly approaching the age of retirement it is believed that 10 million baby boomers will develop Alzheimer’s in their lifetime. Currently, there are more than 24 million people in the world with dementia—this is estimated to rise to 81 million by the year 2040.6 / Statistics taken from both the Canadian and American Alzeihmer’s Society. / Published by Redbubble in Compassion, Courage and Friendship book October 2008 / Compassion, Courage & Friendship Top Ten in the Mood & Ambience, The Seated Human challenge, July 2009 / Featured in the Nirvana group October 2008 / Featured in the ImageWriting group November 2008 / Featured in the RB Buyer’s Booth November 2008 / Featured in the Stillness Speaks group November 2008 / Featured on RB homepage on November 25/08 / The Fine Art of Photography

My Cherokee grandmother often visits me in my dreamtime, last evening as the Full Moon approached, her bright pulsating light approached me in my dreams. / There was an intensity that I had not previously noticed within the beating light energy she presents with and her voice was strong. “WindOwl”, she said, “You and your fellow beings will witness the great transformation. It is reshaping the human consciousness and it will be larger than the genesis of humanity. You have seen, in the past few generations, every human experiencing more than their five senses can detect. Their understanding of themselves and their experiences are changing dramatically, as they sense themselves as more than they thought they were, more than bodies and minds, more than accidents in a random universe of inert – dead matter. Everything is an expression of Life, a form of Life – there is nothing but life and we are Life. / With this transformation comes new potential as well as new experiences, a new way of evolving as well as a new way of experiencing ourselves, and a new understanding of power. This new way of evolving is spiritual growth. The old species evolved through survival, now this will not be sufficient. We will long for more than existence, something more significant, for the reason we were born. We will long to touch meaning and purpose and to live them. This new way of understanding power will align our personality with our souls. The old way was through manipulation and control, now counterproductive and producing only violence and destruction. The new potential is the Universal Human, beyond nations, religions, races, sexes and economics – citizens of the Universe whose allegiance is to LIFE.” Her voice paused and she instructed me to breathe deeply, then she continued, “My child, you are to assist in the creation of authentic power, to contribute to the new species that we are becoming by providing support, love and tools that help illuminate the differences between the frightened parts of the personality and loving parts of the personality, revealing opportunities to challenge, cultivate and chosse intentions, consulting intuition and trust the Universe. Teach all you know to experiment with creativity, following your healthiest impulses and use your life consciously and constructively.” Her voice faded, as she showed pictures in my mind of a child being born, a marraige experiencing conflict, the nations economic turmoil to a flower emerging and opening a new vision of interpersonal and social structures built on harmony, cooperation, sharing and reverence for Life. / This was a most beautiful experience that I will treasure today, tomorrow and always…whether a dream or reality, I will heed my Grandmother’s message from the other side and continue to share. / I am grateful to be sharing this journey with you.

As is shot of Full Moon, 12/12/08…this Big Winter Moon (Long Nights Moon) is said to invoke muses – the nine daughters of Zues and Mnemosyne whom were each attributed to a different art: epic and heroic poetry, music, lyric and erotic poetry, history, tragedy, sacred poetry and geometry, dance, comedy, and astronomy and astrology. / My muse was certainly invoked with the confirmation of a visit from a Great Gray Owl, who stirred up the dogs and the chickens last night ;) Gemini Moon

The original of this work was one of my cobweb like watercolor paintings. As I played with the painting on picnik, it began to appear more and more like everything was being pulled to the center of the painting. Then as the colors became more distinct and defined, I began to see the suggestion of a pink cross in the right third of the piece. This made me think of my grandmother who is 96 years old and she is so ready to go to her eternal home, to heaven so she can be with her husband, son (my dad) and her daughter who died at the age of four. She was so sad yesterday and practically begging God to come take her home. This image shows the pull toward the center, toward the Creator of the universe, toward the Creator Himself. My grandmother is feeling that pull and it gets stronger every day. Her desire to be in heaven will help me with her death when it comes because it is what she truly wants. I will let go of her more easily because I know she will be where she wants to be. I am thankful for the time I have had with her and will cherish whatever time we have left together. This is tribute and dedication # 2 to my grandmother, Evelyn Viola, 96 years old who is waiting to go home. Come Jesus come, and take my grandmother’s hand and lead her home to You. You can check out my other tribute called Grandmothers and Windmills and the tribute to my dad which is called Overcome I continue to learn the importance of family and building memorials to those you love in your own unique way. Relationships don’t have to be perfect or without pain to feel the loss or the need to memorialize in the process of letting go. At least I am finding this is true for me. Working through my losses as I work and play at art, is one of the most therapeutic things I have done for myself, and ultimately it makes me a better, more forgiving person in other relationships. And that is my desire; to love, accept and be more forgiving of others.

This photograph of my grandparents and friends was in my aunt’s photo album that my cousin let me scan for posterity. My grandparents are the two people just to the right of the fellow in the center. I love this photograph because of the wonderful composition and reflections. I took the color out of two texture layers and put them on top of the black and white photograph. / Featured in “TONE IT DOWN”!

Grandmothers and purple just seem to go together, as far as I’m concerned. Maybe it’s because I’m a grandmother and shades of purple are some of my favorite colors. / HDR effects and soft focus added, because grandmother would like it that way. Image taken in Shady Cove Oregon with an Olympus E-520
