Gratitude Hair Designs

Vicki’s artist shares her thoughts in her own words, join them and meet her in person. “I, Samia, am an Artist and Medicine Woman. I use my understanding of both practices to drive my photography, providing a unique opportunity for artistry and therapeutic, intuitive healing while capturing the light and love within us all.

During my travels I have become intimately connected with raw, unfiltered humanity. The camera, as an extension of myself, helps me capture the true nature of the human soul, the purity of its light and the mysterious qualities of its pain. I am able to empathize with my subjects on an ethereal level, creating a trust that allows them to be vulnerable and free of judgement. There are no words to describe what is happening when I photograph. It is like we have known each other since the beginning of time, transcending to another stage of life.
My main focus has been capturing the magic of festivals, gatherings, events and the devastating allure of daily life. My photography is dedicated to the healing of the world and its people.
Amour “

Ukiah Massage and Ukiah Valley Networking Agency

will host Janet Rosen. Here is more information from Janet about her art “Why make art? For many of us it is a way to mediate reality, to integrate and make sense of the world and then put it “out there” for others to experience. My aim is to create a narrative with enough space for the viewer to enter and find their own story. I enjoy working in series, some of which may be completed within weeks while others encompass years of intermittent work. Most projects end up being meditations on time, whether it’s capturing the play of light on moving water, the distortion of time created by illness or isolation, the passage of the sun and the seasons across an oak-studded hill, or the temporary of the human life span. While I work loosely from reference photos, the finished piece could be very different. Each one has its own unifying rhythm and interior logical space that has to be explored through improvisation. I lose my way, painting intuitively and without stepping away from the canvas for long intervals. This process, given time and openness, lets the painting manifest itself; all that’s left is to watch it closely, pay attention to it, and then polish the details. “
