SEEING IN A SACRED MANNER: Conversations with Transformative Artists
By Lauren Raine, M.F.A.
It was my privilege, in the late 1980's, to share conversations about art, spirituality, and cultural transformation with some extraordinary artists. Travelling across the country to meet them in New York City, in Arkansas, or in California not long after graduate school, I realize now I was also trying to understand my own reasons for making art. "Your work is about your life" painter Kathleen Holder told me, "and if you are fortunate enough to do great work, it not only is about your life but it transcends your life and touches many others. " Here are words of such artists.
