Naomi has a very important job in her Gnome Community. High up in the mountains of the Blue Ridge, she is a Botanical Gatherer. Early in the mornings you may spot her, walking delicately through the woods and gardens, gathering up dried flowers, herbs, fern sprigs, and twigs for the women's crafts. If you notice that your gardens look manicured and tidy, it probably means that Naomi was present that morning. |
The popularity of Frida Kahlo, Mexican Artist and Inspiration to many women, has grown leaps and bounds over the years. Her rich history, life as an artist, challenges with her health,zeal for life, and passionate yet stormy marriage to Diego Rivera, all lent to our fascination with her and her importance in the art world. Each of us that admires her, more than likely has something in common that they can relate with in her. For me, what is it that lends to my affection for her? As an artist with a disability, I admire her for her endurance..her endurance to continue to live a full and rich life in spite of the challenges, to create what was in her heart, and her ability to use her voice in so many ways. I think of Frida often when I am painting or sculpting, especially in those moments when I am living with great pain and feel empty..and I am soon revived in Spirit. To me, Frida lights the candle in a darkened room. |
