This is Nancy’s work, called “Drawing on Life Stories”.
The website is a welcome into what is phenomenal about the sensing of beauty.
It’s best to view the backdrop image as a wrap-around, starting from left to right. The gesturing figures move along the baseline. And the voice of the story, such as in a painting.
You can click on the image and take a closer look.
When I was 15 years old, I had an epiphany. It was a profound awareness that created a need and a capacity to notice beauty from various perceptions. Living artfully explores and is an open discussion of lived experiences. Beauty filters through.
At times in unexpected ways, beauty connections become visible between the arts and human beings since atleast the Stone Age. It deepens into an understanding of the eternal presence of beauty in our world.
I focus on how beauty can induce discovery and shifts of perceptions that nurture our humanness.
