Beyond the thin blue line where sea and sky meet there is a place of no return, a place where stories, song and dance are passed down from generation to generation.

My very, very, very first!So far, this is a painless way to communicate where I’ve been... and where I’m going. Start somewhere and work my way up, out, and beyond. It doesn’t matter how the marble ends up in the hole; just throw the damn thing and where it goes, it goes. So here it is folks: my very, very, very first newsletter! Please email any comments and feedback. “Spirit” NewsPeople are already asking me where “Spirit of Place” is at now. After “Spirit” closed on Earth Day, April 22nd it was moved to its second location for a week of international exposure with the Shambhala Leadership Institute at Mount St. Vincent University. Shortly after, “Spirit” moved to the Pictou Lodge in Pictou NS for July and August. From September to October UCCB Art Gallery. For Christmas (or post-Christmas) orders or viewing, Spirit of Place exhibit can be seen online at www.mindfulcreations.com A portion of the proceeds will go to the Nova Scotia Nature Trust. All articles and reviews about “Spirit of Place” from magazines and news media such as Saltscapes, Lifestyle Magazine, Visual Arts Nova Scotia, The Cape Bretoner, CBC information morning, The Daily News and The Cape Breton Post are greatly acknowledged and appreciated. I would also like to take the opportunity to say thanks to the following list of sponsors and contributors who gave wholeheartedly to making this exhibit a reality.

The Art of Letting Go Again and Again. Reflecting first on a “word” these drawings were made using water as the medium and photographed before it disappeared. Within seconds after the brush hits the surface the drawings mysteriously vanish into thin air, leaving behind a blank space only to begin again. It is called the art of letting go or maybe the art of not letting go. Exhibition dates and time to be announced later.
