FEATURED FAN ART I n the meantime, I remained dedicated to expanding my education about Michael, and in return, he became more and more a part of my everyday life. I found myself considering him in the way I chose to interact with people, and in how I viewed my responsibility toward the planet and humanity. I wanted to do more... to BE more. Knowing Michael made me want to participate in a world beyond myself. I just could not imagine a more beautiful example of the human spirit, and the more I learned about him, the deeper in Love with him I fell. ity. By simply living his life, Michael has taught me that I can accomplish anything I set my mind to, and that there is Divine Perfection at the heart of all things... even tragedy. I am profoundly grateful for all that I continue to learn from Michael, and for the amazing people that have come into my life through him. Having the opportunity to witness others Loving him, and the impact he continues to have on the lives of so many has been a joy like no other. I know with all certainty, that beyond even the enormity of Michael’s personal achievements and level of artistry with which he chose to secure his legacy... what he leaves behind inside my heart and the hearts of the millions who Love him is where the full force of his accomplishment will endure, and where its relevance will finally be realized. F inally, almost two years after my first attempt, the seemingly hopeless urge to pick up my pencil came over me once more. I just could not deny the physical need I had to connect with Michael in some way. This time I decided to take a different approach. I remembered something Michael had said about “getting out of the way of the music”. In other words... don’t think too much, but rather, connect with the energy of what you are creating and let it come through naturally. I wasn’t even sure I knew how to do that, but I wanted to try. I took a deep breath and began to draw. Thank You, Michael, for all that You are. The world is a better place because of You. Today, Tomorrow, and For All Time. Siren T he process of experiencing Michael energetically became such a Bliss that I found myself not caring whether it looked like him or not... and yet, by some seemingly miraculous occurrence, it did. I started sketching pictures of him almost daily until I could virtually close my eyes and create him solely from the impression he left on my heart. After about a year, I was ready to explore new avenues, and I began to expand into watercolor and open acrylics. Suddenly a whole new world opened itself to me. I felt like I had been set free. Still Michael inspires me to push the boundaries of my expression as I grow as an artist. Currently my work is undergoing yet another shift that will allow me to illustrate deeper and more significant spiritual aspects of my relationship with him. Everyday has become an adventure as I wait with anticipation to see where he will lead me next.
