Soft Pastel painting/drawing composed from a collage of images: I photographed the moon image and set up the portrait. The background rosette is inspired from a cathedral. The blossom is a star. It's about a mythology story: the goddess is in love with a male mortal and every night she comes to the earth to be with him.

Inspired by ARP 273 is a beautiful cosmic rose 300 million light years away. Looking back in time, interpreting these two distant galaxies coming together, merging as one body and soul, connecting us to the life force of our universe.

I question, what connects us to a particular place. The spirit of place creates the ingredients of community and belonging. Viewing an aerial image on Google earth, we are blind to the details of man’s life and history down on earth.
In the topography, we see shadows and elevations of mountains, lakes, hills, and desert. In contrast, as we zoom in further and further, we go on a more profound journey. Our eyes are opened to life, nature, and details of the built environment – man’s impressive handiwork.

Astronomers observe celestial bodies moving together in harmony. Pythagoras had a theory that the distances between the moon and planets were consistent with musical intervals, and that because objects in motion vibrate and produce sound, the planets must create a harmony of these musical intervals as they move. This ancient theory is called the "Music of the Spheres."
Planet Earth with her own unique song like that of birds chirping brings beauty and potential. The wondrous layers of rock formations of the Grand Canyon make one contemplate life on earth, and on a grander scale, the ancientness of our planet and all the other planets in the Milky Way. It puts into perspective we are a small world in a vast universe.
