"The creative spirit of art is the breath of our Creator “Laura-Ann LeClaire”
The greatest expressions of art are those which go beyond suffering. Thus, the loving essence of spirit draws inspiration on the canvas of the soul. It reaches past the depths of despair and imprints the seeds of hope, beauty and peace. It nourishes the spirit of family unity, kinship, strength and home.
I am reminded of this quote by Louis Riel” My people shall sleep for a Hundred years and when they awake again, it…

I went to a quiet place
I stood in the formless
where my thoughts
do not give definiton
"to"
Who I am
my Inspiration comes deeper
then thought
I embraced the stillness
and
took a moment
" to feel"
I felt my breath
My presence growing
with each
step into my beingness
I asked permission
to know it
and to be known
I felt your breath
I felt the connectedness
of life
the spirit of what we call a flower
the spirit of what we call a tree
behind me, before me, around me
and over me
spirit is never lost…
