Sedona

 

 

Sedona Arizona ranks at the top as one of the most beautiful and spiritual places in our country.  Amazing vistas surround you in every direction.  According to the official Sedona chamber of commerce web site, “The red-orange color of the rock is one of the most neuro stimulating of colors. It enhances creative thinking and problem solving.”  Well I need a little creative thinking and problem solving, so what a perfect place to do a trunk show for Cici Bianca!

 

 

 

 The wonderful store, Isadora, located in the Tlaquepaque Village was where I showed my work.  Owner Wendy McKeown has filled her gallery with outstanding handwoven items and beautiful jewelry from artists all over the United States.  I was fortunate to have the opportunity to stay with artists Deanne and Byron McKeown in Deanne’s inspiring, positive energy filled, studio where she creates her bronze sculptures. 

 

 

My early mornings were spent out hiking around the rocks (trying to discover my own vortex…).   I walked a little trail called Mystic which is near the famous Chapel of the Holy Cross.  The scenery could only be described as breathtaking and the nature that surrounded me - awe inspiring.

 

 

The wild flowers in the high desert were beautiful so of course I had to snap pics of those I saw along the Mystic Trail to add to my cache of flower photos.

 

 

In addition to being one of the most georgeous places on earth, Sedona is a haven for creative people. One of the most creative people I know, actor, designer and artist Lea Gracer had an opening one evening of her current Mosaics at Canyon Moon Theatre.  Her work is detailed, sophisticated and sometimes whimsical.  But what really draws me to the work is her use of color.  Brilliant! 

The whole weekend left me on sensory overload on top of an already scattered mind.  This condition was remedied with an incredible energy reading by Dr. Lester Adler of  Sedona Center for Complementary Medicine.  The session with him gave me the clarity, direction and calmness I sorely needed.  Time to get back to the world of my own creating!
