"Great soul and integral art can do just that, can hit you with such profound presence that it takes your breath away, takes time itself away, takes space and flings it to eternity, opens you to the deepest and highest and most radiantly shimmering spaces of your own soul, all at once and just like that. You come away from such art just a little bit better than you were a moment ago, you see a little bit more, you feel a little bit more, you know yourself a little bit better, you touch others a little more intimately, you awaken a fraction more toward your own infinity…." ~Ken Wilber, Foreword to Eyes of the Soul by Philip Rubinov Jacobson

communicate with patients

Magpie Story
Owl spoke to Magpie, "Magpie you talk so much you do not hear the wind and the
water. You do not hear the Wolf who speaks to you. Your truth is all part of
others' truths and you have lost your thread that connects you to the tree of
life."
Magpie was as quiet as he had ever been, he listened and he felt pain and knew
that he must change his ways and start to learn his own truth.
Was it so bad to be a Magpie? No! He decided it was good to be
Magpie, and he would not have to explain himself to others as to who he was and
why.
Upon that realization he started to listen, he heard the water and the wind and
all the other beautiful things he had not taken the time to hear. He heard the
Wolf and was happy.
Magpie spread his wings and flew and became the Eagle. He did not have to speak
again as his flight said it all." ~unknown

Hi Kevin!
I was walking through Portland airport in September when I discovered your
Osprey standing on a shelf in a Native American-themed gallery. I was completely
taken by its majesty, its sense of self-knowing. This doesn't happen to me very
often; I'm an artist myself and I spend a good part of my time trying to find
new artists to showcase at our festival, Faerieworlds (http://www.faerieworlds.com/).
I have seen many "doll artists" in my time but your work is somehow "alive" and
I had a hard time putting the Osprey down.
I was in England for a few weeks immediately after that, and in that time, I
forgot your name. I searched the web for a while but gave up until this morning,
when I found your work again on eBay of all places. I was looking for "carved
crows" and there was your Crow doll looking back at me. I looked you up on
Google and finally found your website.
The pictures on your website are deceiving; although they give a good idea of
the overall composition of your work, the immaculate fine detail and
craftsmanship is hard to see "up close" in your photos. If I hadn't seen your
Osprey in person, I wouldn't know just how perfect these creations really are,
down to the last stitch and highlights on the eyes. Do you plan to take new
photos soon? A handful of photos for each figure would be fantastic (front,
back, side, three-quarter face, closeup), and really helpful for folks who
haven't experienced your wonderful works of art in person. If you're ever
interested, I design websites for artists whose work I really admire, and I
usually just work out a trade instead of charging any money. We can talk more
about that later if you want to know more about it.
I'm wondering if you've ever delved into the world of Celtic/Welsh/Pagan
myth...during my stay in southern England (on Dartmoor), I heard a Barn Owl
shriek at the full moon on the night of my arrival; later I found evidence that
the owl was living in the barn attached to the cottage I was sleeping in...I
envisioned a Barn Owl spirit incorporating spirals, crescent moons, antlers, oak
leaves, acorns, etc... Have you ever done anything like this? Would you be
interested in giving it a go?
I've attached some of my own paintings and my first doll project to this email.
Yes, I am in love with birds...
Oh...almost forgot...is the Harrier (with World
Tree) still available? I love it...
Thank you for your time, and for the wonderful work. You're an inspiration to
me!
With respect,
Stephanie

Hi Kevin, A friend of mine recently discovered some of your work and shared a link
with me because she knew I’d fall in love with your pieces… she was right! I
just had to message you and tell you how truly breathtaking your creations
are. Each piece is stunningly unique. It is quite apparent that you are a
true master and create with your heart and a deep reverence for the
spiritual realms. Artists like you truly take my breath away and put me in
an awe inspired state. Thank you for making my day much more mystical… I
look forward to following your work in the years to come. Keep on doing what
you’re doing… you’re making the world a more beautiful place. Lone Wolf

"Kevin - I received the bobcat today and I
could not help myself - I had to bring it to my girlfriend. She was
absolutely blown away and breathless and almost in tears. It is so
exquisite. It was exactly what she wanted. I also am in awe of the level of
detail, the colors, and the beauty of this piece. You are a truly talented
artist and these works are completely unique. Thanks so much for your
efforts."~ Bill N.F.
“OMG!!!!!!! My husband and
I saw about a dozen of these totems in Santa Fe today….they are about the
most beautiful things we’ve ever seen. We were going absolutely nuts over

But here we are trying to make sense out of a world that sometimes does not
reflect where we want to be.
I had to look you up because you have been the instigator of probably the
most profound moment of my life. I walked into a shop in Santa Fe, saw
Little Manitou white wolf and promptly burst into tears. I could hardly
speak I was so moved. I blubbered my way through a layaway program with an
extremely wonderful woman who said it was ok, she understood. I have never
seen anything so magnificent, mysterious in my life. Your white wolf looked
me up and down and was happy that he will be coming home to me very soon. I
will send you our picture in a separate email. My friend took our picture on
my cell phone.
I still don't know what happened to me there when I first saw him. I may
never know but I think I know his spirit. Wow! We will have a good life
together. That is why I loved reading about animus. I have done that all my
life.
Thank you thank you thank you for channeling this particular spirit. It is
so real I can't imagine anyone not recognizing it.
I have many questions about how to keep dust off him and the best way to
display in a natural setting of course! Love the picture on your site of one
of your creations in a canoe! Awesome!
Will be reading on,
Jen Rainwater R.
Afterwards, the piece haunted me far more than a sculpture less than two
feet high should be able to haunt anyone."
The Manitous arrived yesterday. They are amazing. The energy immediately
shifted in the room. Both Black Elk and White Buffalo bring a huge amount
of grounding with them. At the same time I'm ready to take off with
Peregrine. I love the dynamic of his form. Thank you for such beautiful
pieces. I've posted you on my website in "News and Events".
Thank you again.
Peace and blessings,
Cathy
