Contemplative Calendar – January 2018

January’s image is a historic building in Hamchek Village, Wisconsin.  Taken in October 2011 while  my sister Beth McQuade Nichols and I were hosted by then proprietor, architect Kevin Kemp.  The quote by Bertrand Russell was especially compelling for me.  It was chosen for the image and then the content of the message seemed best suited as the opening sentiment for the year.

I write, I photograph, I sing, I create, I muse, I meditate, I contemplate, I wonder, I communicate, I improvise, I collaborate and I synthesize. I am an interdisciplinary artist that is exploring the world through the various sensibilities and intersecting forms of image, word, symbol, spirituality, nature, 2-D and 3-D art, sound and music. In my encounters with whatever and whomever life brings my way, I engage and respond with my art so as to question, examine-ate, elevate, re-purpose and transform. I am currently in the process of developing socially engaged installation works in the hopes of enriching, challenging, sustaining and transforming through the human art encounter.
