Recently a fellow blogger asked me if I found it harder to post
on my blog the longer I waited. Well, given that my last post was written over 10 months ago...I must agree it's true. Procrastination? Deadlines?
Oh yes...no wonder I still have that reoccurring dream
about the class I completely forgot until
the final exam...
I'm bet I'm not alone here...
Anyway, I have returned with some exciting news to share with you. Author Seth Apter recently published his first book The Pulse of Mixed Media and I am honored to have one of my pieces included!
The book is an exciting and intricate survey of artists
with many questions answered through words and art. My piece "passage" addresses the prompt "what is your biggest fear?"
the number 21...a rite of passage...
though tempered as noted on Roman sundials
because life is open ended but finite...
jagged signs and symbols present themselves along the path,
but we never truly know what they foretell
or when the journey ends
the fear of stillness and silence,
life deconstructed marching into the ages...
I must admit, my favorite part is where Seth dedicates the book to his mother, who passed away before the dream became a reality...
It was she who gave me my sense of purpose and the desire and motivation to follow through with what I believe in, no matter how rough the road might become. I miss her deeply and hope that somehow, somewhere she knows that her dream for me of writing a book has now come true.
Much like Seth...it just fills your heart doesn't it?
If you'd like to share in the excitement with an opportunity to win a copy of the book, please leave a comment below. I'll draw the name of one lucky winner on Mother's Day.
The Pulse of Mixed Media is also available for purchase at Amazon.

My recuring dreams about high school were that I couldn't remember my locker combination or my class schedule, and was constantly having to go to the office and ask them.
This looks like a fascinating book. The photos you shared are just lovely Thanks for the chance to win!
Beautiful piece Lisa!
I've missed your post, so glad your back.
lisa, your piece has that magical quality of balancing so much - complexity/simplicity, tranquility/movement, colors, textures, line...
very beautifully composed and executed... the muses were singing to you while you made this, weren't they?
I was so touched by his comments as well...
your piece is wonderful as always and so nice to see your blog pop up on my sidebar! missed you!

Your piece is beautiful and mysterious in a way. It sings and gestures and whispers to the viewer. Not sure about what. Life, time, trying to portray the unknown... I wish I could touch it. And I'd love a copy of the book, of course :)
Great piece Lisa, I can see why it was included. Good to "hear" your voice.
Beautiful piece of art!
A magnificent piece Lisa and so love what it really represents more importantly!
Lovely to see you back posting!
Hugs,
Suzy

Hey Welcome Back!! We have missed you! I was looking at Seth's book in the bookstore and it opened right to your fabulous piece!!! Huge Congrats!!
I am trying not to buy every art book I come across but I have suggested it to our library and Hopefully they will get it!!
I miss seeing your fabulous work!! Now I don't have to!!!
Lisa, I love your art! I love that you show some close-ups of the piece so that we can see the lovely details we might have missed in the photo in the book.
As a customer of your delicious ribbons I had never made the connection to you as a blogger until your email today had it in the signature. So fun to learn more about what you do....and that we are in the same book!
