Nascent Seeds has a home!

February 7, 2014 · 5 Comments

A large ribbon was cut last year at one of  Nashville’s largest business endeavors, the Music City Center!

This convention hall was inspired by one of the city’s leading industries: MUSIC!
Here’s a glimpse of some of it’s very amazing spaces!

  This state of the art “convention center” had a $2 million budget for art and specially commissioned pieces.

 And in June of 2013 it had a special luncheon for the artists that had art permanently housed in its walls.


“NASCENT SEEDS”

When I heard the word visceral, it meant deep, dark and with a heart.
I then thought of microscopic specks of life dwelling within nests of soft petals.
These minute sparks of light then glowed, twisted and turned,
to bring forth a fertile world into our immense cosmos.
And thus the birds and creatures sung, …and music it was!

My painting “NASCENT SEEDS” was among the purchased artwork, a 2 fold painting with a long gestation period.
Here I am seated, feeling ever so lucky to have a bench, an artist appreciation medal
and a satisfied heart knowing my painting has a fabulous home!

There will be a book called UNCONVENTIONAL, more on this later!

Art Statement

When I take the time to look and to really see and to apply my "foolish" imagination, there are worlds within worlds within worlds to be discovered.

When I allow my eyes to be excited and fascinated and pleased at what they see, I begin a journey, inventing a path to the place I choose to go; and magic happens!
