14. Mutual Self-Portrait Portal by Grace Stewart

Sumi ink and watercolor paper8x12Made in 2012  Artist Statement: Mutual Self Portrait Non-duality is winking at you with great humor through every pupil. It’s me and you, everywhere, every new now. As a meditation of ink painting, this is the flourish of fresh tapping into the hidden secret moving amongst us and through us. If you think I am other, the joke is on you, says this Blue Heron Ink Mutual Self Portrait. Artist's Bio: The art of presence awakens in our awareness. Appreciating the Wild Blue Heron as the Mutual Self Portrait encapsulates my work as a meditation instructor for over thirty years at Making Sanctuary. Like the Blue Heron's natural and powerful beauty and effortless naked presence can connect deeply within our own wild awareness, the secrets of our own wild awareness awaiting. As we spend time with this wonder, it becomes available to us now to dance, speak, and express in motion, embodying the continuous change that clothes the continuum of our unceasing mystery. T
