Dear Deb, Thank you for such lovely and inspiring art to fill these new spring days! Salvia, Tulip, Zinnia, Dahlia, and Violet–portraits of flowers who are women who are flowers… are simply gorgeous, visually and literally!

I am most moved when you shared that you thought ‘painting was a break from feeling through the air to figure out who or what has grown me.’ Who or what grows us oftentimes reveals itself in the most perfect time. Spring, blossoming, unfurling, and opening up, indeed are our gifts when it suits them to reveal their new selves. A friend often says, ‘experience is expensive.’ May we be of use and share where we’ve been (at the bottom of the well), coming back to the village to share the goods! You continue to do so… lovely!

‘The intention for these seems only to come from my anthers and it’s only after we get sticky is there the possibility that we can all keep going.’ –Deborah Stein

Super sweet congratulations and thank you for sharing your work via Khôra.

The river metaphor is not drab, it sparkled something inside me.

I love the Ursa Major painting so much. ❤️ bought my first jar of India ink this week. Excited to explore! (And hoping to sign up for your watercolor class 🙏🏽)
