Paint abstract sumi e from your heart. Find joy through Beholding, Knowing You Are Held, and Releasing the Chi Energy of that so it can grow and expand is the theme of my workshops. A new one is scheduled for August 15, 2020.

“The Pearl at the Bottom” by Marilyn Wells, 14″ x 18″ on mulberry paper

“When you see a pearl on the bottom,

you reach through the foam and the

    broken sticks

on the surface.”

–   Rumi 1831S

What is the Pearl you are seeing through the pandemic and these troubling times? I would love to hear from you. For me, it is in Beholding and Knowing You Are Held, and I want to build my life around that practice. I find my art work following this theme has been my best way. And it is growing and expanding as I do so! I love Joseph Campbell’s quotation below, “Find a place inside where there’s joy, and the joy will burn out the pain.”
