This Month's Artist:
These times challenge us all. Along the way I’ve learned how important it is just to breathe. How easy it is to forget and how much it awakens in me done with passion and intent! I’ve become acquainted recently with the theory of “negative capability” - the ability to be comfortable even in the time and place of not knowing. That’s where I am now, it seems true for many of us; perhaps it is the spark that kindles greater creativity! Joan Riise is a self-taught artist, yoga teacher, poet and author of “This Garden Grows a Goddess” Ice Cube Press.** She is mother of Shanti and Larkin, married to Lenny and keeper of Smokey the Bear Dog. She was raised as a Navy Brat, traipsing the country while growing up during the 50’s and 60’s. She owes much of her resilience to that gypsy past. T hroughout time and across cultures, masks have played a sacred function in the ritual marking of human events. The forces of life and death, nature and spirit, darkness and light have been powerfully depicted by masks over the ages. ANIMA MASKS grew out of a personal journey of transformation. “Anima”, the Latin word for soul, later differentiated by Jung into “animus/anima”, indicates every soul’s search for balance - male/female, yin-yang, sun/moon; hence the logo.
