“(Harmony) offers many subtle and myriad relationships to the aesthetic sense of vision, but it demands that the beholder searches within and between all the parts. This, the journey of the mind, takes time. Additional is the symbolic component. And here the cultural history of the beholder, impregnated as it is with the individuals ‘tribe/ country’, adds another dimension.

“What the work offers is the possibility of searching at both of these levels. The glory is the multitude of relationships…There is so much to be found, and as I search, I realise the fascination of the journey…the illumination that comes from identifying…the joy of observing the subtleties of colours and tones. It is a mental event, and it is time bound, just as in music. But it requires effort or participation to gain rewards/ satisfaction. The more the mind is prepared the more will be gained. Unfortunately for many people their educational background is inadequate to provide the necessary framework for achieving this kind of attitude to life.”

HARMONY Collection: The Hand of God in Asia. For three years (2006-08), the artist travelled and worked throughout Asia and the Pacific. She marvels at Asia’s spectacular variety, both of nature and of man-made spiritual artifacts, all peacefully and harmoniously co-existing.

This centre-piece of the series is a fond recollection of vivid memories from many countries: the magnificent banana fan tree found throughout Asia; the temples of Bali, Thailand, Laos and Cambodia; and some of Asia’s most exotic flowers. Finally the designs of China and Mongolia have combined with the artist’s signature Celtic style, portraying the hand of God which overlays and unites the physical world.
