Sanctuary series

Mixed Media on 3- 12x24 stretched canvases.
[acrylic, ink, drawing media]

love is a place

love is a place
& through this place of
love move
(with brightness of peace)
all places
yes is a world
& in this world of
yes live
(skillfully curled)
all worlds
ee cummings
The Sanctuary series is an ongoing series of work exploring concepts of shelter, refuge, home and sacred space. Each of these works feature at least one window, a way of seeing outside [material reality] and a way of seeing inside [spiritual world].

In progress.

Linda at 'vulturepeakmuse' suggested her friends come by for a visit and I'm very glad I've done so. After looking at all of this front page I offer my compliments on your lovely work. Your spirit shines through them all.

Elis, these are truly incredible. I love the expression of the two way window...the eye of life. You are very much onto something with these pieces. The lines which form the strength while the colors burst forth with energy of light and movement.

I am loving this series a lot.
