Haitian "Veve"





In 2007 I attended The International Folk Art Festival in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Artists traveled from all over the world to show and sell their work. I was especially captivated by the beaded "veve" you see above and the haitian artist who was there to demonstrate. Based on voodoo images, the designs were beautiful and eery and expertly sewed. I share these as I think of all the talented people in Haiti during these challenging times.

Thanks, Barb, for helping us see the flip side of this disaster and letting us know where we can donate to this cause.

Art lifts us all, and I love seeing the artist as well.

I so appreciate the manner in which images are refracted through your lens, your imagination, and the times.
