understanding things that you cannot change

As I go through all kinds of feelings and experiences in my journey through life -

delight, surprise, pain, dismay - I hold this question as a guiding light: "What do I

really need right now to be happy?" What I come to over and over again is that only

qualities as vast and deep as love, connection and kindness will really make me happy

in any sort of enduring way.

FiberFusion Mural coming alive

only 9 days to go! for the opening of our first Mural exhibition at the White Rock

Museum & Archives during the month of September 2011.

I am honored to be among the 26 international artists that have come together to

create this unique Mural called FiberFusion, which will be exhibited at the White Rock

Museum & Archives, Canada during the month of september, and moving after on to

Europe And the Americas as an itinerant exhibition.

"Twenty six artists from eleven countries have created individual fiber paintings to create the FiberFusion International Mural. Each artist has created a painting using fiber to complete the spiral!"
“The name FiberFusion became a “shortened” version of “The fibers that bind us” which is the concept that brought forth this project. “We are all bound by the Internet, in one way or another. It’s optic fibers to start with…. As artists we are bound by a common passion. We are bound by emotional and intellectual threads and ultimately by the threads in the canvas we are all expressing ourselves on… fusing the fibers of each canvas into a mural with a spiral design further binding us with this ancient symbol of evolution,” says Alicia M. Ballard
