Curious Observers by Leanne Stull

This weaving is inspired by the Colorado landscape, specifically the magic of the Quaking Aspen tree. It grows in previously burned areas and often in poor soil; yet the Aspen's roots are interconnected with the other aspens in the grove, acting as the largest living organism on earth. The Quaking Aspen is a lively tree, earning its name from the pleasant sound of the leaves quaking in the breeze. I find peace in its whisper, warmth in its golden leaves, and joy in its abundance. However, I am most intrigued by the Aspen's "eyes," which seem to hold the wisdom of the sacredness of life. Walking among the Aspens, its eyes are a reminder for me to slow down, be present, and maintain gratitude. The act of weaving this piece allowed for the themes of connection, presence, and gratefulness to transpire.

Nature Shadows 1 & 2 by Rachel Duncan
​
These paintings are from the past Mother's Day, when my one request was to have a day alone at home to make art. Based on a friend's idea, I sat under the shade of a tree and based the paint markings on the shadows cast by sunlight through the leaves. I stepped into an intuitive, responsive, flow state for hours and I produced many images, these are just two of them. I don't make a lot of art these days since I take care of two young children and my mother. But these shadow paintings remind me how easy it can be to simply make marks and reconnect with my artist self.​

I’m here in Colorado by Tricia Zeyher
 
My art piece, "I am here, in Colorado," along with being exhibited in the The Art Therapist's Mirror, was also exhibited at the AATA 48th conference, and has had media added to it since the conference. I added a print layer of black light lines (like ski trails), that were started on another piece. Combining my art through printing against another piece, helps me to connect not only my art collection, but also my connections to different aspects of my life both professionally and personally.  This piece may be viewed in sunlight, or under blacklight. There is always more than one perspective to life, so that is also what I try to do for my art, give it multiple ways to be viewed and exhibited.
