Description

2012

24″ x 48″ Acrylic on canvas

This is my statement on our separation from mother nature, as well as our own human nature.  It also speaks of our individual isolation (the sole man in the left corner).  The rainbow connects it all — Nature on the right, uninterrupted by the hand of man.  The results of man on the left—

I spent 3 months, mourning the loss of two very special boys,  Noah (14) and Joshua (21) in the tree.  There are over 250 creatures in the tree, they all have food.

The doorway in the center represents peace, which is found in our individual center and is always available, even amongst the chaos.  The doorway is open to allow the light in and out.

This painting took 6 months to complete, the last few days I painted wearing magnifying glasses, so please take the time to look closely.  The words “One Love” are hidden in the painting — look for the love!

I now journal regularly. I also started painting for the first time. I didn't realize I could be a painter and it is so much fun!

I have found a love of painting. It puts me in a meditative state and found my new COVID super power is that I am a super dot painter. Who knew??

Sharing some of my favorite pics. I love hiking and exploring. This turned into my next favorite hobby, photography. I never thought of exploring it until recently. I’ve only used my iPhone 8 and haven’t cared too much about quality. I’ve got a ton of amazing nature pics but abandoned places seems to catch my eye more. I joined the artist’s way experience to help develop my creativity and confidence. There’s so many talented photographers out there. I’ve never felt good enough to even try. Kim Keffer had played a major part in sparking my fire. She was always a little voice on my posts nudging me to pursue it. Thank you Kim for the encouragement 🙏🏻💕

Kim and I go way back, almost 30 years! I met Kim when I first moved to Ohio and she lived next door. She and I were “first time moms” and spent many days drinking coffee, talking about life, laughing, sometimes crying, and learning how to be moms. Kim was focused at that time on photography and owned a studio across the street. I have countless photos of my Jimmy as a baby and through his years growing up. She even photographed his senior year his high school pictures 18 years later! I will forever be grateful for the moments that she captured of him along his journey to adulthood. In addition to photographing families and children, Kim had an eye for capturing nature and abandoned structures, usually in rural areas. Her artistic photography grew over the years and represented her love for West Virginia and growing journey of self-discovery. As with many of us, Kim’s life story, ever evolving, has many twists and turns. I have witnessed her facing past traumas and expressing wide ranging emotions through photography, and then painting. Healing and growing is at times a very painful process, and I have been amazed at Kim’s resilience and ability to transform this into an expressive art form, and share her story to help others through art therapy. I have commissioned her on several projects that have deep meaning to my life. She met with me to talk about my childhood and where I grew up, and the connection I had to my grandparent’s lake house and beautiful shaded hillside of Lilies of the Valley. I now have a 3-part painting that I look at every day and think of a time in my life that seemed so much simpler, and so filled with love. Her painting of Healing Green, and a photo of the early morning light shining through is now central to a room in my house that will be “my space” and help me to center each day and focus on love and now. I most recently commissioned a stain-glass Lily of the Valley piece of art, it is in my window at work and brings me joy and peace every day while I work in a very stressful environment. I have cherished my friendship with Kim over these 30 years, and can’t wait to see what she does next. She is an inspiration.
