Quake and Storm 

the line be it beauty perceived
the light be it TRUTH revealed
the shadow be it time cast
the color be it passion known
the stirring, the quest, the resolve
quake and storm
'tis the artist's way.

The Sounding Light ~ Opening Gallery Event ~ An Evening of Splendor

The Union Arts Center, Sparkill, New York

Presented here are four of the seventeen works on exhibit at 

The Quincy Hall Gallery, The Union Arts Center, Sparkill, New York

The Artist's Statement Poetically Presented

Is it

Is it brush in hand and thought in heart

From which this painting has its start

Where comes this call I hear as mine

Word, color and form these gifts of time

Is it the Muse that summons the soul

Beauty be the quest, beauty be the goal

And when in completion a work is to be

Is it the Muse I hear in joyful reverie

Is it Truth that anoints each new day

With the knowing path of the spirit's way

Ever present this reach to do and create

Welcome I Truth, the Muse, Destiny and Fate

God be known in what I receive and give

This be the decree for each moment I live

Is it when faith and knowing jointly resound

That God and the Muse so freely are found

So be it brush or pen in heart, mind or hand

It is to be in the Creator's fullest command.

A Gallery Happening in the planning...

So pleased to announce that,  A Gallery Happening is in the planning stages... New works to be on exhibit...

Nature draws us to its beauty, the sunrise, the bold flight of a hawk, the delicate song of the songbird, a majestic mountain, a roaring ocean, cresting waves... a deep breath, a flower in bloom, a pause, and the sense of majesty in creation. This too, the ART of Being... the questing expression of Aspiration ~ Revelation ~ Truth... When a work of art touches something within our hearts, our souls, or our consciousness, we may pause and become aware of a deeper breath, a thoughtful consideration, an awareness of effect. In the process we are responsive, hold to impressions,  affix words, express our encounter to the work, outwardly or silently.

The newest of my works are presented as APOGEE Vibrational Art™ ~ The Sounding Light. Biofeedback researchers set  to 'measure'  the responsive experience when viewing  each of the present works comprising the collection. Those evaluated, reported being drawn to the movement, to the interplay of colors, to the fluid composition, to the captive beauty of the work. Biofeedback measures demonstrated that the viewer experienced greater integration of left and right brain functions, that stress indicators were reduced, and that the in breath was deeper, bringing about a sense of calm and renewed vitality. Stress reduction at its most creative venture...

I am pleased to announce that these works, The Sounding Light,  and a series called, Frames of Mind, Moodscapes and Skyscapes, will be featured in a one person Gallery Exhibit planned for mid-November, 2013,  at the Union Arts Center, Sparkill, New York.  Specific dates and details to follow. YES, I am delighted.  http://www.uacny.com
