Seven years ago I sat with Willy Whitefeather, a Cherokee storyteller in Oregon, over coffee. While most days spent with Willy would be filled with stories, this day he was a bit more serious and subdued. He talked about his garden and the vegetables he was growing and about a recent siting of a bear on his property. He asked me about what I was currently creating in art and was interested in hearing about the inspirations behind my pieces.  We talked about art and life and everyday things, and before he left he reached over and took my hand and urged me to continue Creating, especially the pieces that help to empower women. He said "The Women are being called...called to Rise Up...for the World needs Healing." His words have stayed with me all these years.  Those words inspired my most recent gourd sculpted Art Doll, titled "Rise Up". This Art Doll is a Gourd and Clay Sculpture. She has a complex headdress, painted in a finely detailed black and w...

The flowers of the Cherry Blossom Tree are some of the most beautiful flora - delicate and petite - yet their existence is brief. Their bloom time, only a week or so, offers us great wisdom from those wee blossoms.  They whisper to us that we should not waste one minute on this Earth - there is beauty in everything if we take the time to see -  to enjoy each and every moment. Breathe deep Stretch far Sip slowly and Taste Dance in the rain Feel the breeze on your cheek Pick wildflowers Hug the fur-babies Sing in the car Look for lucky clover Watch the sun set Watch the moon rise Hug someone extra long Listen intently to a friend Speak your truth Love yourself more Get paint on your hands Get dirt under your nails Take the long route Light a candle Breathe deep Make it Count My painting of the Cherry Blossom Tree is on my website here Cherry Blossom Painting by Jeanne

On an overcast Monday afternoon, while busy painting in my studio and thinking about cleaning up for the day, I was completely unaware that I would soon be embarking on a meaningful journey with an Elder. Within just a quick half hour I was cleaning my palette and throwing my bag over my shoulder on my way to meet a friend. What I thought was going to be conversation over coffee, actually ended up being an introduction to an Elder male that needed a home. His guardian felt that the two of us would get along famously and trusted that I would be able to give him the home he deserved. Without a thought I invited him to get in my car and pulled the seat back so he could stretch his legs. He was quiet and reserved, and looked as if he had been a bit sad before getting here. It was pure silence on the way home, the two of us not quite knowing how to strike up a conversation just yet.  I showed him to his new room which over looked the park and streetlights, quickly feeling a brea...

"Art Friend Fridays" is an opportunity for me to share with you fellow Artisans who I respect and admire. I have known Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs for a few years now.She has become a part of my "online family", special to me for her unique one of a kind jewelry, her love of nature,  her dedication and support of adopting dogs from Shelters, and her beautiful Sister spirit.  This week I received one of her creations, an enchanting pair of earrings named "Moon over Monad". a piece that speaks directly to my soul.  Catherine names all of her pieces and writes detailed descriptions for each, along with explaining symbolism, making the experience as close to "in person" as possible. Her collection is vast, offering treasures that will speak to most everyone.  One of the most special things about Catherine is her "Dog Rescue" jewelry. She donates 1/2 of the purchase price of those pieces to her local humane society. ...

It was time for Change, time for an utterly complete transformation. When she found herself walking through her days feeling like a foreigner in a strange distant land, she knew that somehow her life had been derailed into something that was unrecognizable....something that was not hers. Somewhere along the way she had relinquished her power to the manipulations of those who never had her highest good in mind.  Feeling broken she retreated quietly into the deepest past of her self, seeking respite and answers. She had lost everything and in retrospect realized that it was necessary, for this transformation required her to be in a most raw and authentic state. It was time to recreate her life into the magical journey it was meant to be. This time she will live it as the empowered woman warrior that she is, wiser for the battles she has already fought, and with a sage's grace that comes with the passing of seasons.  She spent considerable time wrapped up in her pro...
