After many months of being ISOLATED, due to a global health focus, the ARTS are more important than even, in order to connect. As a psychotherapist and artist, this past year has given birth to a body of work related to connecting. As many acquired new animals, family members, ways of fulfilling basic needs to maintain vitality in life. Historically, my visual arts have been surrounded by in depth exploration into the unconscious world of dreams and attachment.
However, pivoting, as way too many were forced to do, I began
illustrating because it was fun. The net result was a production of
artwork and a release of a book, written by a new muse, GEORG. Georg
arrived from the LA shelter in July. As a result of the world returning
to work and family responsibility increasing, the shelters were
flooded, therefore Georg was rescued. This book can be purchased on
Amazon, either soft cover, or kindle.
Teeth!
A new series of oil paintings by Judy Ryan of different species that all have the same common ground … Teeth that are filled with character, function, humor, determination, love, and absolutely no self-consciousness, no self-criticism, no lack of confidence. Our beloved canines should give us a better idea of how to love ourselves, no matter what.
