Art is that chalice into which we pour the wine of transcendence. Stanley Kunitz
Whether you succeed or not is irrelevant, there is no such thing, making your unknown known is the important thing. Georgia O'Keeffe
Go into yourself and see how deep the place is from which your life flows. Rainer Maria Rilke
Inspired by a trip to Chartres Cathedral in France, this series explores the soul of the feminine. Heroic, graceful, driven by determination and intelligence, independent, sensuous, inclusive, strong, mysterious, loving.
My life as an artist began with a love for collage.
My work is about a sense of spiritual space. I start each session by burning incense, making a mark on a chalk board with a calligraphy brush dipped in water. This mark will disappear, a subtle reminder not to take myself too seriously. This centers me into place, and from there I begin working. Photo credits: Gail Mancuso
