After working in
the ethereal realm of sacred color, it was very grounding to return
to working on site, in pastels, sensing the spirit of a place and
bringing that energy into the image. I realized that my work
with sacred color had changed my way of working.
The experience of the moment
and the place came into my heart through the energy of the color and
was later retrievable in the studio. I was able to portray the
momentary light of the sun, the water, the earth or a rainbow - all
carried on the color rather than through a memory of form as seen
first as shapes and lines of light and dark.
