This exhibit and project has been created by the inspiration of a friend named Jim. Jim found himself battling an uncertain illness, depression.  By the Grace of GOD, Jim found peace, by finding the right place for diagnosis, treatment and healing. This life changing experience sent a call to action for him to share his experience by commissioning a painting depicting his emotional battle with depression, with the intent of helping just one other person in their flight with depression. The pastel painting by Bev Saunders, is the feature for this exhibit.

9th Annual Domestic Violence Awareness Project

Image
Once again this time of year,  I continue to advocate for this cause of awarenenss of the devastating affects of violence in the home and anywhere, for that matter. Anger, devision, lack of empathy and compassion, continue to surface in our own communities. People stay silent, in fear and controlled by their own demons of powerelessness. When in our lives, did we lose our god given spirit and power that would allow us to tolorate this. Whether as a victim or a bystander. When will we recognize, the true spirit we came into this world with and activate the power within.  Join us in finding it with this powerful exhibtion that reaches the soul of emotion.   Works by Pam Barker and the girls of  The Charlton School   http://www.thecharltonschool.org/
