Feminine Horizon

Acrylic on Canvas Sacre Sanguis Size: 36 x 12 x 0 Sacre Sanguis celebrates the unique feminine relationship to blood. In writing about the origins of life, Carl Sagan wrote “The nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our applies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars. We are made of star stuff.” The painting includes imagery of constellations and stars to reference that origin of all life on earth. Circles of tick marks suggest sunlight and the circle of life. Literal seeds –some dispersing--populate the canvas. Other dots and whorls reference the molecular basis for life. Lines of energy shoot across the canvas. And all float in the sea of sacred feminine blood, reminding us that women have significant literal, figurative, and spiritual power in the life of our entire planet.

Acrylic on Wrapped Canvas She's Odd But Nice 18 x 24 The past three years have been very difficult for me as I helped my daughter and a year later my son-in-law through chemo treatments for cancer. Both are in remission at this time. After this exhausting and emotionally trying time, I found myself a very different person. My painting felt inauthentic and forced as I tried to walk a path that was no longer me. I decided to develop a new path that was in line with the person I am now. I changed my painting methods by utilizing a painting wall rather than working flat. I now feel free to express myself in line and movement. My work became playful and meaningful again. My studio became my refuge again. This is who I am today, and it feels good again. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.  

Acrylic on Art Board Untitled II-May 25, 2022 Size: 12 x 16 Framed Size: 16 x 20 Taking into consideration the tragedy of the Uvalde shooting, and experiencing the grief and angst that this gun violence and senseless killing of children and others continues, I poured everything-all the emotions I had into several pieces. My work endeavors to take all the conflict, tragedy and transmute it into visual harmony, in essence; take heat and make light.

Digital Photograph Escalator Up Size: 12 x 15 Framed Size: 16 x 20 I took this picture when I was in a blue funk and all I could see was an escalator. When I look at it now, I see that sometimes one needs help to move forward, and one never knows what one will find if one looks for the light.

Alcohol Ink Almost a Square of Red Lines Size: 11 x 11 Framed Size: 15 x 15 Cheryl Levin’s current minimal ink drawings on paper use repetition to bind herself to the creative process. Using dip pen or brush, each line she applies is akin to a sentence in a letter making paragraphs on a page; each drawn line follows the next creating a correspondence with her inner and outer self. Almost a Square of Red Lines is part of multiple series of Levin's as part of her growth and transformation from major life changes thus her work is often viewed as landscapes of lives' journeys or life paths. Here, the whole square - not quite filled in - reflects what is left out of the landscape of our lives. The papers' edge and the ink absorption become part of the fragile journey.

Oil on Canvas Storm on the Horizon Size: 16 x 20 Framed Size: 17 x 21 Storm on the Horizon was inspired by the anxiety I have been feeling for the past several years. I am always fighting this worry and fear about the future. This started with the COVID epidemic and has never really gone away. The times we live in are so frightening for so many reasons; increasingly common hate filled rhetoric from political figures and their supporters, an increasingly divided country, worsening climate conditions.

Cyanotype and Watercolor on Paper Shower of Gold Two Size: 12 x 9 Framed Size: 16 x 12 My flower paintings embody the essence of the feminine spirit. They symbolize women's extraordinary resilience and adaptability in facing life's challenges. Each painting is a testament to their journeys of renewal, capacity to overcome adversity, and innate power to flourish. The golden accents highlight women's ability to shine brightly, even during dark times. Creating cyanotype paintings is part science and part intuition, and I'm never sure what I will get. I create cyanotypes using plants from my garden, light-sensitive chemicals, spices from my kitchen, and watercolor paints. I love the cyanotype process because the outcome is often a surprise due to the sun's variability, exposure length, chemical composition, and time of day. I finish each painting by using watercolors to modify and strengthen the composition to my liking.

Photograph Mounted on Cradled Wood Board Artemis 26 x 16 Lush gardens, majestic landscapes, and serene seascapes have always been a source of inspiration in my image making. Combining traditional photography methods with contemporary techniques enables me to record and reinterpret the world around me. I work on an intuitive level without a predetermined image in mind, and consider an image successful when it is transformed beyond the reality of the camera into a personal connection with nature.

Acrylic on Birch Peace Be Still Size: 19 x 15 x 0 "Peace Be Still" draws from Jesus's calming of the storm, visualizing inner serenity amidst life's turbulence. The piece features a Black woman in flowing garments, her free movement symbolizing spiritual liberation and surrender to divine grace. Through hues of pink—representing joy and promise—the artwork captures a moment of transcendent peace despite life's disappointments. The freshly picked flowers she holds symbolize faith's enduring beauty and God's faithfulness to His promises, while her dance-like pose embodies the scripture "You turned my mourning into dancing" (Psalm 30:11). The transparent handmade frame suggests the authentic vulnerability of spiritual journey and open acceptance of God's guidance. This work speaks to the feminine experience of finding divine peace through faith, illustrating how trusting God's promises transforms our walk through life's challenges. The woman's graceful movement and expression reflect the profound freedom found in choosing joy despite circumstances.
