Marcia R. Wise: Fine Arts - painting

Website: http://www.marciarwise.com

I've been an artist all my life and was an art teacher for over 25 years. I now work full time in my studio and exhibit. I currently have a solo exhibition of my portrait paintings at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst.

The portrait work has been very well received with many comments and reviews mentioning "the mesmerizing light from within" as received by the viewer. My heart sings knowing the real meaning of those reviews! It is Master's light, our Divine Light, if you will, coming through me and onto the canvas - to hear that it is also felt by critics and the public in general humbles me to my knees.

I've been a devotee since 1982 and I have always felt my artistic passion and abilities are a reflection of the Divine energy of the Love of the Beloved; a healing and all encompassing, all embracing energy. I pray that my work express this as I set my intention and then I paint, most often in total silence or with an SRF CD softly playing in the background. My morning meditation continues as I work, my thoughts returning to the Divine when they stray or attend to a challenge the work has posed, then back again. Of course, in the silence of my studio it is easier to keep this attention, stepping outside is the real challenge!

My creative process begins with meditation and continues to flow as I am able to keep my attention on God and Gurus, seeming to step out of my own way (ego) and allow this energy to come through me. Sometimes, of course not always, when I stop and stand back to look at what I've done over the many hours that pass (which feel like minutes), I'm surprised at what stands before me. It's almost as if I have not been there and then I return to have a look. Yet, in this long reflective gaze at the work as my artist's eye is looking for problems, I become aware of the depth of process in my connection not only to the subject matter, but to this creative energy that I am so connected with. I feel so blessed to be able to express my creative energies. My most creatively successful days are those that begin with deep morning meditation, painting during the day in the studio, and coming full circle again in evening meditation.

The 'spirit form' and others series explore an artist's perceptions of who we humans are, where we come from, where we are going. Medias of many types are used to convey deeper thoughts, universal truths: That we are not our physical forms, but rather some strange, wonderful 'something' inside the form, recycled to appear as varied, unique 'sculptures', yet all made by the same Artist.

A former submarine pilot, tugboat captain, rock-climber and airplane pilot, she now turns quietly inward to focus on the work. She resides in Mokuleia, Hawaii, with a beach-side art studio, her "flock" Bruce, Polly, Buster and Big Birds, studying Yoga philosophy/science, and writing.

Angels of Protection

May I please call your attention to my spiritual/art series, Angels of Protection. Having started creating the angel images, from an intuitive input, and a later powerful experience with my father, was the meaning behind this series made known and clear to me. The series exists in different forms: hand made hand signed cards, prints framed and unframed, archival Giclee prints, jewelry and original art in many sizes.

It has been an honor to have this series included at the Gift Fairs at Hollywood Temple, for many years, and last year, for the first time, at the Phoenix Temple. The story and images are included here on the website. The other site has different art series other then the angel images.

Update

My mixed-media art series, The Lakota Spirits, is presently at one of the most unique museums in California – Cabot’s Pueblo Museum in Desert Hot Springs. Because of space, it’s actually half the series, total being twenty-one images. This show, my interpretation of the Lakota spirits, was inspired by the following: a description of the spirits in the book, Meditations with Native Americans/Lakota Spirituality by Paul Steinmetz, a Jesuit priest who served as a dedicated missionary among the Lakota, and the largest sculpture in the world – the mountain carving memorial to the great Indian warrior, Crazy Horse, in the Black Hills of South Dakota. If you are out to the desert, please take a look. The show will be there until June 30th. It’s relatively close to Ox Yoke in Twenty Nine Palms.
