I love 'anything Jennifer' that I have ever seen and many of these pieces are new to my eye so...we're happy!<br />I'm currently working with a group of women... not necessarily artists...on a public art project and when we come togther tomorrow I will share these eloquent 'Jennifer words' on the creative process:<br /><br /> "I believe that art explores the deeper meaning of life and then symbolizes the essence on a personal and universal level, I think it is important to remain true to oneself. I find my work resonates with others more readily if I am working on a deeper level. I know that sounds strange, the more personal I get, the more others relate, but I think this is true in all the arts. Like when a musician writes a song about breaking up with her boyfriend and then thousands of individuals listen to it and are moved. Personal and universal.<br /><br />Simultaneously I am working in the studio. Each day before I begin, I concentrate on my theme by journaling or meditation, I hold the intention (theme) in my mind, and then I start working by slowly exploring where it takes me. Using this process it is my hope to create a cohesive body of work—each piece a reflection on the overall theme."<br /><br />Thanks so much for sharing the beauty and the wisdom.Donna Iona Drozdahttp://donnaionadrozda.com/blognoreply@blogger.com
