LOW CO$T SHIPPING PROVIDED WITHIN THE USA ONLY, BUT I WILL SHIP WORLDWIDE AT BUYERS EXPENSE FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION "This quote summarizes my newest work. I sought after an"Artistic Venture" - to create something uniquely my own. The MIXED MEDIA art work is an experimental design involving nature print, marbling, collage, painting and pastel. I like to call it: NATURES DYNAMIC SPIRIT. The song of the Creator is heard throughout the land. My artwork express themselves. They contain jubilant colors, lines, upward movement as they sing - dance in complete harmony. The technique is "mixed media", I like to call it "Mixographia". On the mountain, in the wind, watching the clouds - I find release. Under the tall trees, in the wild flower field - I find my peace. In art - solitude and music - I discover my Soul. In sharing my art - I am made whole." Sister M. Edith Nemeth - Sisters of the Divine Redeemer AN ORIGINAL, RARE VINTAGE PAINTING BY SISTER M. EDITH NEMETH, SDR FROM ST.
