This past Spring, I accepted an invitation to form a small support group of fellow artists who all share a common theme of creating art that uplifts and connects. We are called the Durham heARTists. My friends in this supportive network are Beth Palmer, Steven Ray Miller, and Eleatta Diver. We had a debut group exhibit in July at Golden Belt Studios, in Eleatta's wonderful studio space, where she has showcased her fantastic "Durham Dreams" series. This past week, Beth, Steven, and I were able to take our work on the road to the Raleigh Convention Center for the "Speaking of Women's Health" conference. It is our belief that uplifting, joyful, and inspiring art has a healing effect, and the practice of creative arts helps keep a person's soul, mind and body in a positive state. We met some incredible folks at this exhibit, and I was delighted to share my latest mosaic sculpture, "Love Lifts". This sculpture is suitable for outdoors or in, and primarily made with recycled glass tile. The inspiration for me was the supportive spirit in which our group was formed, and the common goal of creating and sharing beautiful art that instantly connects us. Thank you friends, for your wonderful art as well as your kindred hearts.
