Blue Pieta
Artist's Statement
Educators and therapists are realizing that there is much to support the reasons why Art is so deeply integrated throughout the thriving Waldorf curriculum. However, the need to provide the human being with the healing and life engendering radiance of art does not begin in grade school and end at high school. The reality is that the typical aesthetically deprived post-modern parent and working adult often needs the healing forces of art more than the kids! Art and beauty support and preserve our youth forces which are key to our health, vitality and enthusiasm. I believe that Art is synonymous with inner development and healing. Art can become the luminous "bridge over troubled water" facilitating the much needed balance between the ever-widening dichotomy which separates our outer and inner lives. In our techno-informational culture, the practice of an art becomes increasingly integral to our health, wholeness and social sensitivity. Veil Painting is a style of painting based on a technique using large transparent, fluid, layers of superimposed color in which the movement of color supercedes the element of form. However, it is not only a style and technique, but an enduring philosophy of painting which harmonizes perception, reason and intuition. It is relevant not only to fine arts, but also to filming, art therapy, lazure wall painting, education, and inner development.
