Dear Creative Woman,
WE ARE FROM THE DESERT, THE DEEP FOREST, THE CLEARING BY THE RIVER, A UNIVERSE OF SECRET GARDENS.
“Help us to be ever faithful gardeners of the spirit, who know that without darkness nothing comes to birth, and without light nothing flowers.”
— May Sarton
“In search of my mother’s garden, I found my own.”
— Alice Walker
“En El Jardin” by Karina Puente, symbol of AROHO’s Global Summer Camp
En El Jardin translates to In The Garden. The Guardian of Imagination is our Guide. Here in the garden, our senses are heightened and we notice that color is a medicinal frequency. We become aware of our heartbeat and feel it steady us. Our senses are awakened and we remember we have answers within.
Join Us for Global Summer Camp, 2021
“Life is Precious” by Tonya Russell
As a creative woman, my deepest need is:
to create.
I consider myself an artist, a self-taught photographer with a borrowed camera. Photography is a way for me to connect with a part of myself I have yet to fully find. The world is changing, so am I. Little by little, I am understanding myself. Fragments are coming together and separating, creating a self-awareness I thought I had lost.
“Magnolia 3” by Cynthia Yatchman
As a creative woman, my deepest need is:
to do the work.
This piece is one of a series of prints using the Magnolia flower. I used a softer, almost buttery, linoleum-type product, very easy to carve, and latex house paint on watercolor paper. Influenced by these Corona times, the Magnolia’s universal symbolism is thought to be perseverance, beauty, and endurance.
We respond to the call of our times and our community to release the confluence of women’s voices – both from our radiant anthology and from newly submitted work – into shared, published WAVES. With no limit to its future possibilities, we are publishing the anthology – piece by piece – in our monthly WAVES publication, and by digitizing all work from the anthology in the format of an online book serialization.
For WAVES, begin here
