I can hardly believe it is November already. Days pass so quickly.
Perhaps that’s why I love our cover art “Mother Earth” by Silvia Cataudella.
In my opinion, this is a painting that perfectly captures peace and
harmony - no rushing, no hurrying, no stress, no worrying about the
holidays. When I look at her, I see a woman who is taking a break from
her busy life to reconnect with herself and nature … a lesson many of
us talk about but don’t embrace.
During the interview with Silvia, she talked about being lost in time
while creating her art. I completely relate. It’s so easy to become
immersed in my craft and then break away for a moment and wonder
… where has the day gone? Although it is “work” it doesn’t feel like it.
It’s not a chore or a task but rather something that invigorates my soul.
I love what I do and the artists featured in these pages do as well. It’s
a unifying quality among artists. Passion drives us. Passion fuels us.
Passion compels us to create and it’s something we enjoy doing!
In the USA, where I’m from, November is a time to pause and give
thanks. In honor of the tradition, I’d like to thank the artists featured
in this magazine for sharing their passion with Women in Art 278 and
becoming a part of our journey.
Until next time, my friends …
