Jude Cowell
Lifelong artist, Jude Cowell, currently works primarily in oil and watercolor pencil on paper. This Georgia native's drawings may be viewed online at Cosmic Persona Designs Art Gallery, and at Dreamyfish Art, where postcards and limited edition prints are available upon request. Cosmic Persona Designs is a collection of archetypal feminine images, cosmic-visionary art (some from an earlier series, Children's World), children's art, and more. An astrological influence is apparent, for Jude has been a serious astrology novice for 10 years, and is writer and publisher of the Political Astrology blog, Stars Over Washington. Dreamyfish Art is a gallery of Saturn's realism--botanically-drawn tropical fish portraits--blended with Neptune's watery, illusory qualities--a combination which neatly describes the artist's natal Sun Capricorn-Moon Pisces personality. Fish dream, too, and here you may have a sneak peek into their most favorite and secret dream locations undersea at Dreamyfish Art. Several moons ago, Jude was an art student at Atlanta School of Art (now College of Art) on Peachtree Street, and even now you may detect a Fashion Illustration, Layout, and Design influence in her work, especially in the Cosmic Persona Designs collection. You never know what might show up at Cosmic Persona, but you are cordially invited to stop by when you can...and remember that fish dream, too!

Wishing Peace, Love, and Art to All,

Kala Snowflower
Pure Joy is the title of a recent book of poems and this best describes the state of being I have been living in as I explore a life of close community living, open hearted loving and getting in stronger touch with the core of my strength, my beauty and my compassion. I am a Reiki teacher and practitioner and find that my work as a healer and poet flow from the same source and inform one another to create a strong and flowing practice of staying in touch with my feelings, the feelings of others and the energy of the earth, sky and cosmos. I am currently working on three new books of poems and a book of prose poems. I feel my creativity flowing strong and sure these days. I am so grateful to be able to continue and deepen my understanding of life and love through my Art and artful living. I have started my next phase of living and loving which is reflected in the poem I share here which will appear in my book Skeleton Woman. You can reach me at kala@happyvalleyreiki.com.

Alkistis Wechsler
Blessed with the hued colors in my sundranked mind ...
The Mediterranean part of Atlantic in the Catalonia spot, at the edge of Spain next to France, has been the mirror of my Soul in the hot August of 2008. The erotic symbol has brought together in this painting, through my subconscious,the Lilly flower, pussycat Ceciliaand the mediterranean female figure. She who came from the sea, dressed like a fish; she who returns in the waves in all her naked innocence. No wonder this Mediterranean coast has attracted ancient and modern adventurers from Hellas and has an overwhelming tradition of Goddesses cult.
The Mediterranean sun in Catalonia, in the hot summer days, generated this archetypal composition.
Orange, golden yellow, acidic green, in a fraction of a spiral movement, are forming the triumphant parade of vigorous leaves and tender flowers. At the centre of it, the Sun Goddess; an erotic girl of Catalonia, like no one has seen her yet with bare eyes.
Her veils, her hair-band and her dress have taken on the quintessence of the surrounding.
Nature, in on going transformation. A crystal-clear transparency, a golden shine and the galloping waves of creative and pro-creating energy are embroidered on her sacred cloth.
The Goddess, born from the waves, now manifested on the (pebbly) ground of Spanish Catalonia, a few metres away from the general quarters of Master Magician Salvador Dali, has her mirrored Image returning in the Element of Water, while she is transformed, with every step, into an even younger being, until she is One with the Elements.
Catalonia is a magic geographical point, extending on both sides of political administration, into
the Spanish and the French nation. Catalonia has a long chain of mother Goddess cults, of Sun goddess,
And the continuation into the era of Magdalenna, supposedly wife of the Christian Messiah;
Messanger of Light ...
On this piece of our Earth, innate strength is awakened into the magic of goodness, of light, of
loving warmth ...
The deep blue, the grey shadows have been overplayed by the Chariot of Fire!
But, how could we conceive the opposite qualities without darkness and cold? There could not be a proper composition ...

Gabe Marquez
The artwork of Gabe Marquez stems from a fascination for the other-wordly creatures and objects within his imagination. The architecture of these creatures is deeply rooted in symbology and color. External influences include astronomy, nature, sci-fi movies, design, architecture and literature.
The work for EV 14, entitled Aquaphobia 10, is dedicated to a fellow artist and one of my best friends, Sylvester Washington...who recently passed away

Terra Wolfe
What I love about poetry is that it lets you step outside of the situation and see what is happening in a whole new way. It lets you involve the senses and the emotions and use them as a painter would color and light and shadow. It's the words that do this and they do it by bringing along all of the reader's connotations. So it would be different for every reader to see the same words.
I spent quite awhile studying this; I had some wonderful teachers who showed me new things about words. My background in graphic design helped a lot visually. But like all art, poetry gives one that new perspective.
More recently, my journey into the spiritual and the pagan ceremonies has led me to see how life can be a sacred ceremony.
And then there are the words. Like paint to an artist. You can really mess with them. Messing with the media can give us lovely results.

David Harrington
I currently reside in Portland, Oregon with my wife Dawn and two sons. I have lived here for nearly twenty years now, but am originally from the East Coast.
The piece here is from my collection of short, spiritually-charged allegories written over a twenty year period. These stories are rich with symbolism and strong characterization, but are both figurative and literal.
