Mystic Dreamer: Art for the Earth


Ann Kruglak – Artist’s Statement 2013
 
Mystic Dreamer: Art for the Earth
Together we create The World at Peace, the World as One.

Art connects me to my spiritual center, and the greater Mystery of the universe.  I treasure beauty in nature and art and all its forms, as a gift that infuses my life with meaning, joy, wonder and gratitude. I constantly strive to learn and develop more awareness, skill, and grace through art, which is my greatest teacher and inspiration in this life. 

I created Mystic Dreamer: Art for the Earth (www.MysticDreamerArt.com), as a service project, to donate 100% of proceeds to the World Land Trust as a way of giving back to the Earth (960 acres saved as of March 2013). My deepest hope is that my art and my ecological focus will educate and inspire others to bring their gifts of service into the world.

I discovered polymer clay in early 2008, and have found it a compelling and amazingly versatile medium.  I have created hundreds of pieces since then, and am just hitting my stride.  My Anemone Teapot won 1st Place for sculpture in the 2008 International Polymer Clay Association competition and my Sacred Flame Teapot won 1st Place for sculpture in the 2012 International Polymer Clay Association competition (proficient category). I continue to enjoy participating in many juried exhibits. 

I am eager to discover what new learning and growth this creative path offers me in the future, and what new opportunities for expression and service emerge from it.
