ART AS MEDICINE.
“ IT IS SO SPECIAL FOR ME WHEN PEOPLE CONNECT WITH MY ART. MY IMAGES HAVE BEEN USED FOR MEMORY, HEALING, PRAYER, AND TO GIVE A FEELING OF PEACE. FOR MANY AND MYSELF TOGETHER, ART IS A BLESSING TO THE EARTH.
I BELIEVE ART IS MAGIC FOR CONNECTING THE ENVIRONMENT AND HUMANS.
EARTH - ART - HEART. ”
- Kazue O Young
“ Prosperity Totem ”
One day at the garden, I saw the two bluejays came to the raspberry bush. I crapped my hands to them in the moment and I got this inspiration and message.
"I could share the raspberry with them.”
We could share the food for prosperity in this mother earth.
I heard the story of Native American about “ Raven” and I named this art is “ Prosperity Totem”.
“ Life with Seeds ”
The beautiful day was beginning of the autumn at the garden.
One woodpecker was eating the seeds on the tall Mullein for a long time. I took the photo and got inspiration. The woodpecker loves mullein’s seeds for life. The Mullein is hearing the land.
“ Lava ”
- YAMA no KAMISAMA
When I visited my sweet friends who lived in Big island, Hawaii.
My first time felt the Lava’s energy from under the ground and I got inspiration. We are living with Lava all the time.
YAMA - the Mountain
no - of
KAMISAMA - God / Goddness
I put the flower’s lei on the animal ( The Mountain Goat ) because in Japan and Bali, the people pray to god/ goddess with the flowers. It makes connection for beautiful life.
“ Sacred Fruits ”
It was beautiful day under the plum tree, two deer were eating plum fruits together. It was the peaceful moment and I got inspiration. The six points of hexagon mean is “ Purification for Energy ”.
My sweet friend, She said “ I need your power of art what you made.” She loves my art and I am very thankful to her and inspiration from the nature in the special moment.
“Pray with Mt. Hood, Oregon”
Mt. Hood where in Oregon looks Two Coyotes.
Right of the Mountain is Mt. Mauna Kea & Left of the Mountain is Mt. Mauna Loa in Big island, Hawaii.
My sweet friends took me to the top of the Mt. Mauna Kea to see the sunset and I pray & got the inspiration.
” The Mountains are Sisters & Brothers where in this mother earth.”
I pray with them for peaceful heart we have.
“ Wind Song ”
When I was sweeping the leaves front of the porch, I heard the wind made the sound with the leaves on the tree and I got inspiration.
The wind is singing a song for love in the moment.
“ Home ”
I saw big Horne Sheep at big field, top of the Mountain, Glacier National Park, Montana 2015.
He was strong to live where is the mother earth.
The mother Earth is “Home for all” what he said to me. He had many kind of experiences because his horn was old. He looked and checked me what we were peaceful together on the ground. He felt safe and continued to eat his lunch.
“ Connecting Land ”
I saw the back gate so quietly where is the forest, the four point buck was chill out under the apple tree. He looked me for a few minutes and we knew each other were safe and peaceful. I stood and looked him for a long time. He was so gorgeous beautiful and sunlight.
The special moment gave to me a message, “Connecting with Land.” The land’s view is amazing with Mt.Saint Helen. It is a special land.
“ Ecrips ”
