My journey began with an unexpected discovery, sparked $125
by my fellow Enso Continuing Resident artist, Wally, that

lead me down a fresh, new path uncovering the magical
and profound stories found within the rich history of the Kuan Yin - Hearing Our
Chinese people. Many pieces emerged in which the Chinese Prayers

Goddess Kuan Yin became the subject – three are now and encaustic on wood

complete and presented here. All three pieces pay tribute to 6x8
Kuan Yin’s devotion to reduce world suffering – guiding us to $100
attain profound knowledge and enlightenment – to fully open
up to our spiritual gifts.

I created “Kuan Yin – Goddess of Compassion and Mercy”
as I continued to explore three-dimensional construction of
altars and shrines using discarded packing material, then

covering the structure with mulberry paper and encaustic
medium. This piece, along with “Kuan Yin – Protector
of Sailors and Fisherman” and “Kuan Yin – Hearing Our
Prayers” utilized the wax as a means to embed images,

found objects, and tyvec paper to further enhance the
message.

…I followed the breadcrumbs.

I did not get lost.
I am home again.
