Artist Statement for Judy Mc Nutt
|
|
|
When I became a visual artist I discovered that color and form are a language as poetic as any words, written or spoken. I believe that the greatness of a people or culture is reflected and preserved in their art and that art has the power to heal body, mind and soul. Through interpretive art pieces inspired by the folktales, and healing arts of many cultures I seek to evoke a healing experience in the viewer. Principally a water colorist and sumi-e (Japanese brush painting) artist, I have taken an expansive journey which began in 2001. Having soaked up inspiration from Monet, Cezanne, and Washu-Kai; photographers like Michael Seewald (spectacular landscapes!) and Taos photographer Geraint Smith; and literature such as the Tao Te Ching.... I often didn’t have a preconceived notion of an image when I began. I just showed up at the blank canvas, peered into the whiteness and an image began to emerge through my use of acrylics and brushes. Today, working in watercolor I scan the world for a beautiful place to walk along side the viewer at the edge of my mind. Landscapes, floral, animals, angels, people, poetry and places all play a part in my magical scheme to heal the planet. Each piece, created in the moment, is an invitation for the viewer to come along on a stroll that heals the soul and lasts a lifetime. I know The Secret and I’m willing to share it with you! The Universe only says,"YES"!
The piece titled,Jeweled Thought Feeling Creation, is the first in a series of pieces designed to support the Laws of Attraction. If the idea of a happier life filled with more of what you want and less of that which you do NOT want appeals to you, consider this simple concept: Thought in the presence of powerful emotion manifests reality! Our thoughts are more powerful than we have been led to believe. Growing up, most of us were never made aware that we each have the power to change our thoughts and how we feel. We make both conscious and unconscious choices about how we live our lives in each moment, every day. Don’t believe me? Try an experiment. I invite you to put my theory to the test. What is a thought that makes you feel bad every time you think it? OK, go ahead and think that thought now, but pay close attention to how you are feeling. Sad? Angry? Upset? At the very least you probably could say you don’t feel at your best.
Now find a thought which is a happy, comfortable, feel-good kind of thought. You could start thinking about something simple, even a beautiful sunset, flower or activity you enjoy. Notice how you start to feel. See? So imagine the benefit if, when you find yourself “feel-bad thinking”, you instead choose a thought that’s just a little better than the thought you were thinking which was causing you to feel bad. Use your feelings as a guidepost. When your feelings signal you a change is needed to feel good again you will learn to make a different choice. Think a different thought. Then you will start to feel better and better every day. This is the pathway to a happy life, no matter what! Eventually you will come to understand and to know how to use your thoughts along with your emotional guidance system to get what it is you are wanting. The Universe will back you up, every time, no exception. So that is what this series of art works is all about. I plan to create the body of work in acrylic. For now, it's just these little Reminder Reproductions because the concept is more important to me than the pieces themselves.
The concept is really simple; change your thoughts, change your life.
