A Peaceful Start













"Chihuly at Fairchild"

The Pacific Northwest's World Renowned Glass Blower/Artist and Designer, Dale Chihuly melds his work with one of the most unique Botanic Gardens on the Planet; Fairchild Tropical Botanic Gardens in Coral Gables, Florida.

The collaboration allows art and nature to dance and grow and exist together for an enriching visual and spiritual journey. A visit to the Tropical Gardens and Chihuly's Exhibition (held through May 31, 2007) allows one to stroll and meditate on the flow and synergy offered as the dynamic colors and structures of art and nature inter-twine. This is a powerfully moving experience not to be missed. Personally and Professionally this rainbow of colorful art and natural beauty speaks to my recent work with Counseling and Art, joining my two favorite regions; South Florida and the Pacific Northwest. In my life and my work I find it no coincidence that this renowned Northwestern Artist and this Historic South Florida nature conservancy have created a Rainbow Bridge of Nature, Art and Color. This work is representative of my own interests and work that combines "Healing through the use of Art and Nature".

"Dale Chihuly and The Fairchild Tropical Botanic Gardens offer a unique and powerful joining of Art and Nature in this collaboration of natural habitats and artistic inspirations. They invite us to reflect on our personal life journey as Spiritual and Human Artists weaving the tapestry of our own lives."
