We All See the Same Moon - From a Painting to an Art Doll

The subject matter and symbolic message from my original painting "We All See the Same Moon" resonates with my soul so greatly that I wanted to find a way to expound on its creation. The painting spoke of seeing past our differences and the things that divide us, to bond as compassionate humans in peace and love.

This was portrayed in the painting within a celestial theme. Under the full moon, in a dark and starry sky, are four "Star Beings". Each of the Star Beings are unique and come from far different places in the universe, though they are all connected in their celestial world as Star Beings. They look beyond their differences, knowing that no matter how differently they may appear....

they all See the Same Moon.

In order to allow the painting to evolve, I decided to create a series of cloth and clay Art Dolls of each of the four Star Beings in the painting.

The first being, Andromeda.

Andromeda has even further inspired me to get started on the next Star Being right away.
You can find Andromeda in my Etsy shop here

In peace and love,

Dona Nobis Pacem - Grant Us Peace

My entire adult life has been spent seeking, sharing, and Being Peace. I strive to surround myself with people who live their lives in a peaceful way, and try to inspire those who struggle to obtain it. When I was young, I was blessed to grow up in an area of Upstate NY that was rich in cultural diversity. "Normal" to me was being immersed in that melting pot that was defined by so very many cultures and religions. My memories are filled with weekend events - celebrations, dinners, and dances held at different cultural community centers and churches. Everyone was welcome, and everyone would partake. This place had been a destination for many immigrants years back due to the opportunities for work. I remember my grandparents telling me about the old shoe and cigar factories, which were popular places for jobs. As the area grew, more and more industry came. Families were proud and grateful to have life long jobs that allowed them to take care of their families. There ...

Mermaid and Patina Moon

Mermaid and Patina Moon In the past she would swim to the surface to sit along the water's edge and watch the humans. She used to find them quite magical. Most mermaids thought so. But over time she lost her intrigue. She began seeing their shadow sides, and how their fears evolved into hate. She couldn't stand to watch them being so mean to one another anymore and decided to remain in the safe and loving waters of the cove. As the years passed she began to change. Merfolk don't age like humans, with wrinkles and such. Merfolk begin to patina when they age, a colorful sheen cloaks them, most especially their tail. As she began to patina, she became hidden in the waters even more. She blended into her surroundings with precision. This made the Moon ever so sad because he loved Fin the most. It seemed that every night it would take longer and longer to find her. Finally one cold night in November he called to Fin and presented her with a gift wrapped in stars. I...
