Karen's artwork featured in new book - The Spirituality of Music.




~The Spirituality of Music - Book

~Painting shown, (pg. 75) "A Very Grand Piano" by Karen Sloan.

Author John Bird invites us to discover how music touches us throughout our lives, from the pulsing rhythms we experience in the womb, to the music that will escort us out of life. In between, Bird shows how music connects us with family and friends and the world of the spirit; how it can express our “authentic voice,” both as individuals and as members of particular cultural traditions; how it strengthens and unites us during times of protest, and comforts us during times of loss. He shows how music and word combine to integrate mind and spirit, and how music and movement combine to integrate spirit and body. As with all titles in this series, The Spirituality of Music is beautifully illustrated with full-color photographs throughout.

Papier Mache sculpture by Karen



Having painted with acrylics on canvas for the last many, many years, I suffered a block last year. It was comparable to post-partum depression, to put it bluntly. Knowing I still felt the need to create, I started making Papier-mache sculptures. Now I'm addicted to it, and will continue with this wonderful new (to me) medium.


To view all of my sculptures, please follow the link... Thank you.

My current and long running website is at MSN GROUPS is closing, so I will be moving everything to this new website in the next few weeks. The old website on MSN which I have used as a website for 6 years will be defunct as of February 21st, 2009, but still can be viewed until that time. http://groups.msn.com/PaintedCanvasCommunity
