Birds are one of the artist's favorite symbols
to use in her work. The artist uses them as a symbol of Spirit, the intuitive
self reaching out to her. Birds often appear to her in her dreamwork.
In this piece, the bird has a magnetic quality.
The bird is calling to the artist, to her artwork, to everything in life
that brings joy and harmony.
This painting will appear as an illustration for an article written
by Desmond Tutu, in the July-August 2004 issue of "The Other
Side". "The Other Side" is a diverse nonprofit ministry
founded in 1965, advancing a healing Christian vision that's biblical
and compassionate, appreciative of the creative arts, and committed
to the intimate intertwining of personal spirituality and social transformation
