 In the plan of the Great Dance plans without number interlock, and each movement becomes in its season the breaking into flower of the whole design to which all else has been directed.
-C.S. Lewis, Perelandra

Smouldering in the heart of every living essence God plants His undivided power -- Buries His thought too vast for worlds In seed and root and blade and flower, Until, in the amazing light of April, Surcharging the religious silence of the spring, Creation finds the pressure of His everlasting secret Too terrible to bear. -Thomas Merton Click here to learn how trees benefit our planet.

My own eyes are not enough for me…I will see through the eyes of others. Reality, even seen through the eyes of many is not enough…I will see what others have invented. Even the eyes of all humanity are not enough. I regret that the brutes cannot write books. Very gladly would I learn face things to a mouse or a bee. More gladly still would I perceive the olfactory world charged with all the information and emotion it carries for a dog.

Sleeping Princess is an encaustic piece inspired by Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh. It was part of the 100 Women Artists in Art History show, organized by the indomitable Alicia Campos. Many women in art history have been overlooked and have not received the attention of their male counterparts. Alicia has gathered 100 contemporary female artists, each of whom interpreted in their own style a historical female artist’s work. Margaret Macdonald was a gifted and successful artist in Scotland at the turn of the century. She was born in 1864 in England and moved to Glasgow, Scotland with her family in 1890. She and her sister, Frances Macdonald, enrolled at the Glasgow School of Art. Margaret was active in the 1890’s and early 1900’s and was a member of “The Glasgow Four”, which included her sister Frances, her future husband Charles Rennie Mackintosh, and her future bother-in-law, Herbert MacNair, both of whom the sisters met at the Glasgow School of Arts. Margaret used a unique combination of techniques. She piped gesso lines and patterns into the canvas and embedded beads, threads, fabric and other materials in her pieces. She also worked in metalwork, embroidery, and watercolors. Much of her work was collaborative, primarily with her sister and her husband. At the time, Margaret’s process was a well-guarded secret. She made her own gesso and used materials in unusual and creative ways. While her husband’s career often overshadowed hers during their lifetime, Margaret’s innovative and creative style became one of the defining features of the Glasgow Style during the 1890s - 1900s and her work has been increasingly appreciated in recent years.  New eyes awaken. I send Love's name into the world with wings and songs grow up around me like a jungle. Choirs of all creatures sing the tunes Your Spirit played in Eden. Zebras and antelopes and birds of paradise shine on the face of the abyss and I am drunk with the great wilderness of the sixth day of Genesis.
