From the earliest civilizations, we humans have been compelled to create images of ourselves. And no matter how simple or crude the features, images of human faces will always capture our attention and imagination.

I have a baby picture of my husband in my bedroom and I look at it every day. He was so cute! I wonder at the miracle of life and how that little baby boy grew up to be my wonderful husband. When I proposed this challenge, I was certain I would do a portrait of my husband to depict the wonderment of human development. But then I started thinking, it’s not just wondrous how children grow and change, it is also miraculous that each person is one of a kind. In the estimated 7.6

I'm in wonder of the diversity of life on our living planet...whether it be flora or fauna. As I wondered and wandered about my studio, I focused on botanicals, which were (I'm sure) multiplying quietly in my fabric bins all by themselves....self pollinating, as it were. I was wrapt with explorations of botanical color, a literal riot of it. After the rush of exhilaration, it quietly dawned on me that the even more interesting, baffling, poignant and important a wonder might

It begins with drawing, for me- I'm constantly looking at interior organic structures, the repetition of the varied shapes is a source of fascination. I make a simple black and white sketch, then refine it and shape the lines until they are smooth enough for my liking. I sent the colorized file off to be professionally printed, then pinned it up on my design wall to let it tell me how it should be completed. I have some beautiful colors of Marabu art crayons (yay! new art sup

Yes there are the most amazing man made wonders for us to admire and so we should marvel as our evolution is truly astonishing and wondrous. However I am often drawn to the little wonders that may be overlooked in our busy lives. These are dry seed pods from the Poinciana tree on my footpath. When they turn from green to brown they harbour powerhouses of future growth- little hard brown seeds that drop into my garden and sprout, without any attention from me. I don't encoura

The Earth is sick and the hot weather is destroying nature. Just like a living hell, all species are in hot water. What can we do to save the Earth? I might be too sad to sew and create the red scenery! However, it is undeniable that the red Earth is absolutely eye-catching. Challenging the impossible requires perseverance and determination. Anyway, I really can’t stand the hot weather. Best wishes to everyone.

The original 7 Wonders of the World were sites that ancient Greeks determined to be amazing feats of engineering and beauty. Of course they could only consider those things that were known to them, so all of the sites are located in the areas surrounding ancient Greece. Of the original wonders, only the pyramids of Giza exist today. Two thousand years later, someone decided to update the list. Over 200 sites from all around the world were nominated for the honor of being one

I think about what is wonder to me. When I stand in front of a artwork, somethimes I stand there without thinking about anything. I think that moment is a wonder to me. A few years ago when I saw Buddha at the National Museum of Korea (www.museum.go.kr) , I couldn’t breathe and stood in front of him for a while. This is a recent experience of wonder.
