Charcoal drawing.
Everything changes…. / ...including this. / 02/03/09: I’ve just posted a new version of this work. Using GIMP for anti-aliasing I have smoothed out the jagged lines that are common with fractals. Now, if you don’t mind me saying so, the curves are as smooth as… / Oh, and I upped the contrast with Image Tasks.

Water Based oils on Canvas / Below is a poem that was channelled with this painting. Phoenix Rising – The Call / Round and Round the mulberry bush goes the teddy bear. / One step, two step, tickeldy under there. / A laughing face, a happy face, it’s all such fun to see. / It never happens one by one, it happens two by three. / Don’t sit down, there is no time- just you wait and see. / When Mother Earth holds out her arms and wraps you in her glee. / There is no other thing to feel, there is no other me. Enraptured, encaptured, go gliding through the night. / For when the wind fills up your sails; it is an endless flight. / The sailing bird. The railing bird. The mother to you all. / Don’t be frightened, don’t be shy, its time to heed the call. / Where you come from back you go. It is a dance you see. / But when you’re there, you’ll do a jig; in such treasured company. / The call goes out; it’s ringing loud for those who can yet hear. / For those not coming, don’t you fear. You needn’t shed a tear. / For them; it’s a rebirthing, new start; shinning and brand new. / They’ll feel it’s Christmas. They’ll think it’s great They’re finally on cue. This painting is a signal, a trumpets clarion call. / A shinning beacon in the dark for those who wore the fall. / It is a harbinger of the times, a sign-post of the new. / legions of light are coming now for those who’ve paid their due / It’s a rising from the labyrinth, a releasing from the maze. / For the exit now is clearly marked, it’s time to turn the page. / The Phoenix now has risen from the ashes that yet still glow. / And we are rising there with her; hold on tight, let’s go. / Now don’t be jaded, don’t be slow, you know it’s time to rise. / Come up, come out from where you are, we’ll fly on crystal skies. / For shinning there for all to see, she’s risen to the Lord. / She’s blazed a trail in stepping up; of her own accord. / Rejoice, Rejoice, she’s shed her skin for one and all to see. / Now Mother Earth is to begin a life eternally. / Light oh Light, a chrysalis, shinning and brand new. / A wondrous place a glittering jewel; come up out of the blue.
Water Based oils on Canvas / This Painting has been channelled as a vibrational healing tool. It raises the vibration for those viewers or those in close proximity due to the energy wavefield it creates. It has to do in particular with: expression, truth, language and communication, wisdom and Gnowing. Thoth is the creator and keeper of the Akashic records and language, communication and Mathematics on this planet.Below is a message that was channelled along with this painting. From Thoth…The Keeper of Wisdom Come to the library and see what you can…The library keeps calling and you keep hanging up. So much knowledge stored within. So many memories, so much planning of what is to be. Akashic, akashic, what will you know. / From whence do you come, to whence do you go / Hidden within rings, within rings, within rings / That circle the Earth on ethereal wings. Come to the keeper, come to the gate / What will you know; its never too late. / Emerald knowledge in emerald books / Come sit and read here, its well worth a look You have the doors and I have the keys / They’re easy to open…just need to say please / Look well within me, it’s plain there to see / Turquoise and the emerald; you’d think it’s the sea (Emerald; the colour of knowledge. Turquoise the colour of learning/understanding. Blended together is Gnowing) I have been here since the ancient of times / Waiting and wanting to open your shrines / Come in now, be quiet, be centred, be calm / Have no mind for ego, for there is no harm For I am the keeper, the writer, the scribe / What is written is truth in no religious disguise / Don’t come if you’re wary, not open, in awe / For here lie the keys and the knowledge is raw; / (unedited, untainted, as it was written… pure) Can you look deeply into the well of the self / With what you might find, you may fall off your shelf / All you thought that you knew, is not all that it seems / It comes through in myth, it comes through in dreams Stretching and struggling to climb up the chain; / The ladder of Jacob, it’s all much the same / Talking in riddles, speaking in rhymes / Alchemy, alchemy, come ring the chimes So come stoke the phire, come ring the bell; / In sonic vibrations come out of your hell / Come into the library, come in here with me / You’ll find when you’re in here, you really are free. If you want to read what was written, as it was written….call me, call me now! / Divine wishes to all…………and so it is.
Water based oils on canson card Mind Body Spirit, moving together in the flow of life. Lemon yellow; the intellect, wisdom, the ideas from which all things come….The seat of the word in the mind of God. The body; green, grounded, nature, growth of life, fruition from the seed. Growing, healing, living, vibrant, sustenance. The material made out of no-thing. / Blue; spirit, freedom, pure love and compassion. The higher planes just as the sky is above, spirit is above all else. Feminine, the formless space into which all creativity flows.
Water based oil on canson card The three fold flame that has served to keep the motives of love intact, and the outcome of the purity of intent manifesting. / How can you utilize this three fold flame in your everyday lives and the world situation? It is simply a matter of knowing who you are in the name of love, and expressing that love and the intent born of that love, and then seeing it manifest in your world. / The world is yours and it is you who are expressing that which you know to be the path that you have chosen. Your knowledge is inherent within you, and in keeping with the traditions of your intellect, you are expressing the essence of your purpose. / Consciously, this may not look like what you would wish, for you search your heart for something to do that can change the situations that sorrow you….This is the blockage. With the utilization of the three fold flame, you can come to an acceptance of what is, and allow the occurrences that will come from this acceptance.
this image is a follow on from the other madusa heartbrake image and came around after finishing the first and decideing that there where ways i could improve it and show madusa saddness. / Out of all the greek myths madusa is the one i come back to time and time again i feel that she realy had bad luck, she was the high pristess of Athrodietie and when her love said she was more beautyful than the goddess herself, she and her sister where cursed, but i can find no recold of anything happening to him. / She then has to spend the rest of her life as a monster unable to look at any living thing or she will turn it to stone, not an easy thing for anyone to live with if you think about it. / The image of the half women half snake also has relevants in other faiths, Lilith the women made from clay like adam before Eve was made from his rib, is part of Jewish tradition and to many the first witch, part of this image maybe due to her seeking advice from the snake in the garden of Edan, whilst she has also gone on to be shown with hores and wings and more like a demon, than a women who would not be comarnded by a man who was her equal
I think this is self explanatory!
2008 Copyright. All Rights Reserved to Mariam Muradian. This Outdoor Series was created during the time that my Feral Child and Feral Woman were emerging. I had a claustrophobic time being inside anywhere…even my own house. I could only BREATHE outside. So I spent many days and nights outside. I moved my studio outside. I painted outside only. This series of paintings, I am convinced, cannot live indoors because it will choke the life out of them and they will die; so this series is prepared with heavy heavy sealants to live outdoors forever. I place each one very carefully in their “chosen” place. Each must be a compliment in the truest sense of the word to nature. You can never out-create nature. The series can be vibrant and subdued at the same time, depending on its environment. So once each has found their interconnected, noncompetitive place in the landscape, I watch. I enjoy watching these outdoor paintings live their life! How they communicate and play and change with the light, the blooms, the seasons! It is wondrous to witness! Their subtle variations and transformations are always perfectly, proportionately in sync with nature’s doings. Truly awesome! My ART has reached a Nirvana of sort in this context. It feels so right in my soul. Now you know why I must LIVE outdoors and garden and paint! I have never before felt such passion, such joy, and such inspiration! I continue to paint for this series. I will continue to take photographs of these art pieces as they change, as different colored blooms come to surround them. You must see! Thank you for looking and reading about this ongoing process of healing in my life. Please do comment, as I would love to hear how this effects the Beholder. Thank you. Outdoor Art Series 1L Gate (description for context): to the immediate right of this piece is the trellis gate leading to the backyard gardens. And immediately right of that is the companion gate art piece flanking the other side. Growing and climbing up this art piece is ivy and a wisteria with silvery white/lavender flowers. To the left of the piece is a huge true red rhododendron bush/tree. And to the left of that, a twin royal purple rhododendron bush/tree. More toward the ground in this same area is green grass with assorted colorful wildflowers, and running perpendicular to the fence is a bed of large white daisies/yellow centers and yellow tulips. I am just so grateful that I can SEE! That my vision returned from blindness, along with my color vision. That I am alive at all! A miracle and a blessing! See the others in the series /
This design is about Emergence on many levels. The Spiral design at the bottom is from a petroglyph which represents the Emergence of humans from the womb of the Earth. It may be seen at Rock Ruin, Natural Bridges Monument in Utah. The 3 Butterflies are about our continual process of Transformation throughout our journey….3 for Body, Mind & Spirit in Perfect Balance. The Spiral for me expresses the flow of Divine Energy. Personally, I am feeling a great Evolution within myself as I experience my Inner Being Emerging through my Art. I want to thank this wonderful Red Bubble family for inspiring and supporting that Emergence. I am truly grateful to be a part of it all…...

TRANSFORMERS
Transforming a Transformer 2, / like the first Transforming a Transformer i have spent a while editing a transformer. Hope you guys like it! / douce DETAIL /
this piece is special to me – i do a lot of women in open spaces – and try to give them a feeling of freedom or breaking free. / This is named after a character in a book called, “Hinds Feet on High Places”. / The girl’s name in the beginning of the story is “Much Afraid” – and I like to think of her here after her transformation…. / I won’t tell you her new name – you’ll have to read the book to find out. The book “Hinds Feet on High Places” is an allegorical novel by English author Hannah Hurnard. Hinds’ Feet was written in 1955 and has become a very successful work of Christian fiction, seeing new editions published as recently as July, 2005. Plot introduction / It is the story of a young woman named Much-Afraid, and her journey away from her Fearing family and into the High Places of the Shepherd, guided by her two companions Sorrow and Suffering. It is an allegory of a Christian devotional life. The book takes its title from Habakkuk 3:19, “The Lord God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds’ feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places.” stock / mjranum-stock.deviantart.com / sxc.hu / an my own photos for blending
She out shines the stars that lie in the velvet, blackberry night sky / She awakens the beast inside / She is my late night moon / The silent ears that hear the cries of my soul…. Here the link to the poem / His Late Night Moon – Hermisunderstood Monster
