I am a painter. It is what I love to do. I paint landscapes, giant fruits hanging on the tree or balancing impossibly on a tabletop, giant flowers and tiny flowers. I love to see healthy, happy people and I admire those who contribute to them. I love the way life forms work together in a well managed organic environment to create a happy, respectful and healthy living for one and all. I have learned that life is not an object and that it is aware. I have even learned that the tiny fungi along the roots of plants in healthy soil CHOOSE minerals for the plants! They are essential to proper nutrition. I seek to raise awareness of the network of life. My mission impossible is to paint life even though life is awareness and is not visible. I guess that is what we do every day. I just love paint!
Hello Friends, Over the years I have been obliged to work with some quite nasty materials and chemicals in order to make things happen. And I feel quite fortunate to be a healthy 50 year old, dispite the impetuous abuse to my system. I have ‘Seen the Light’ and will now only work with environmentally friendly materials. Which I also encourage as a Lecturer at The Centre for the Creative Industries at Exeter College. This year I set up FX Sculpture and our aim is produce modern sculpture that is inspired by Sci-Fi and Fantasy. The kind of stuff that we are all used to seeing in films and on television. Our Greys that Glow are our first product. They are cast using Jesmonite, which is an envronmentally friendly water based resin system, manufactured here in the UK. As a new business venture we have only recently started to promote our work on the internet. And are finding it a quagmire of advertisers asking money up front and shops offering sale on return. We would very much like to sell our work on recommendation and for commissions to go to good causes or individuals helping us to spread the word. We wish you good fortune Richard

I would love to help! If every person decided to make a difference… How different would our lives be? As a wife, mother, and traditionally published author… I have been creating tales for our youth, that will educate and inspire…  By Joe_Ball An important concept to define might be the concept of freedom. What the heck is that? I’ve been quietly studying this concept of freedom for myself and thought I’d make a note of it. I see freedom as an ability, as a possiblity, as an avenue of action. With a new car comes the freedom of travel; it’s an avenue of increased activity. With connections to the right people comes the possibility of a greatly increased shpere of action. The examples can go on and on. I look at freedom as an elevated existence and the resultant resposibilities that go with it. For me, freedom is not the same thing as escaping responsibility, in fact, it’s totally the opposite. With freedoms come greater responsibilities. Now that you have a new car, don’t you need to maintain it? Purpose fits in here somewhere. If my purposes consisted of walking my dog in the best, and most expansive park, and there was a park across the street, then i would technically have all the freedoms i desired. But, if i hated walking the damn dog, and thought of it as a chore, then the park across the street wouldn’t look seem so exciting. But there is one more scenario that i’ve been noticing… What if everyone had the purpose to create a better life, and the freedoms, avenues, and possibilities for enhancement exists … NOW? The people that sit at home in mysery while dreaming of one day walking their dog in an expansive park have failed to notice the lack of barbed wire on the park fence, and didnt’ see the ‘free dog’ flyer that was shoved under their windshield wiper. Freedom is action. Freedom consists of taking steps to fullfil your purposes. Freedom may or may not come at the end of the rainbow or at the top of the bridge. The freedoms exist now. Looking at things from this perspective i know for myself that the most rewarding realm of enhancement in society is that area that encourages others to take action and utilize their freedoms. I feel this is a rather broad topic, but here is a more narrow example: My dad made this really awesome documentary. He dreamed it, funded it, filmed it, and edited it. It’s an hour long and it tells an amzing story. It’s an example of someone utilizing the freedoms that exist and fullfilling a purpose.
(Note from Joe: I found this through the amazing couch surfing website. I copied the article because i thought you should know about this event. There is even talk of the internet march for those that aren’t up for the trek. The world needs more big thinkers organizing and supporting activities like these. Below is the article, or click on the image above to go to the website.) Why? Because we can end world hunger with 10% of what is spent on arms. Imagine how life would be if 30-50% of the arms budget went toward improving people’s lives instead of being used for destruction. Because eliminating wars and violence means leaving human pre-history behind and taking a giant step forward in the evolution of our species. Because we are accompanied by the voices of all the war-torn generations that came before us. The echo of their voices still resounds throughout the world, wherever armed conflict leaves its sinister memorial to the dead, disappeared, disabled and displaced. Because a “world without wars” is an image that opens the future and seeks to become reality in every corner of the planet, as violence gives way to dialog. The moment has come for the voiceless to be heard! Out of agonizing and urgent need, millions of human beings are crying out for an end to wars and violence. We can make that happen by uniting all the forces of pacifism and active non-violence worldwide. Continue reading WORLD MARCH FOR PEACE AND NON-VIOLENCE!
How it all began… Welcome to my first Art in the Making Newsletter, which marks my re-emergence into the art world and the launch of the Leisa Collins website. So how did this all begin? The year was 1975. It was the beginning of a beautiful New Zealand summer and I was fresh out of high school. The setting was a stuffy lecture room at the Auckland Technical Institute where I had enrolled for art training so that I wouldn’t end up behind a grocery store check-out counter with no formal education to fall back on. The teacher’s discourse ran on and on, his voice echoing off the walls… and then it hit me! There had to be more to art and life than this! Surely art was something to be LIVED, not just the subject of boring, pedantic course room lectures. I made up my mind. I would learn my craft by capturing the splendor of the countryside on canvas. I threw the few paintings and art supplies I possessed in the back of my old station wagon and with only a few dollars in my pocket (no credit cards those days) I embarked upon a new adventure. And what an adventure it was. I gave rides to a wide variety of foreign hitch-hikers and learned about their cultures and customs, I visited the Maraes (community meeting centers) of New Zealand’s native Maori race, I got lost in remote mountain regions, and when I found myself totally broke I spontaneously set up my easel with a beautiful scene in front of me… and a busy tourist resort directly behind.I sold the landscape before the paint was dry and was back on the road in a flash. My interactions with people on these travels gave me my first view of social injustice. When I arrived back in Auckland I continued my career as a full time artist while becoming increasingly involved in the growing movement to restore Maori land rights. A few years later I decided to devote my energies full time to social issues – a course which lead me to the four corners of the globe. This provided me with greater insight on life and introduced me to many diverse cultures and art forms. My motto is Art with a Message and my new path is to work again as a full time artist while using my art to promote and create change on important social issues. Over the last few months I have compiled an art portfolio which I hereby proudly present to you through my new website – www.leisacollins.com. I invite you to tour my virtual gallery and take note of my unique commission work. I also especially invite you to visit the Art in Action page of the website. Remember that supporting a living artist and owning original works of art gives you a unique relationship and ownership – something that is rare in the artificial world of today. Purchase one of my original paintings online, send me an e-mail message, visit my Art with a Message Blog or sign up for this Art in the Making Newsletter. I will continue to update my website with new works of art and blog the daily events of my upcoming live tour – Across the USA from the Eyes of an Artist. Later this year I will continue to blog as I retrace my journey through the New Zealand wilderness where I first taught myself to paint. Most importantly, I would love to hear from you and get your feedback. Wishing you a fabulous week! Best regards, Leisa |
