Kwan
Yin Greeting Cards
I have a spiritual connection
with Kwan Yin that serves as creative inspiration. What I feel in
my heart, is reflected in my artwork...thus my clinic name, the
Heart of Touch, a play on words!
My love of Kwan Yin led me to develop a line of greeting cards,
and my most technically difficult print to date, a 9 colour large
screen print of Kwan Yin standing on a dragon, in a blue sky with
white clouds.
Who
is Kwan Yin? She is the great Celestial Bodhisattva of Compassion
in the Buddhist tradition (a "bodhisattva" is a being
who attains Buddhahood but forgoes entering Nirvana in order to
help others).
Her
name means "she who harkens to the cries of the world".
Kwan Yin is believed to comfort human beings and save them from
disaster, and she manifests in numerous ways. In the countries where
she is honoured, she is known by other names: Guan Shih Yin in China,
Kannon in Japan, Quan Am in Vietnam, Kwan Seum Bosal in Korea.
The
energy surrounding Kwan Yin yields compassion,
love, hope, transformation, and a service to
mankind. Those who are drawn to her remark on a
journey enriched by her spirit and a cultivation
of greater peace for humanity.
I
desire to increase world awareness of the compassionate energy of
Kwan Yin by "putting her spirit out there" with my art.
I embrace whole-heartedly the spirit and compassion of Kwan Yin
and her presence, and I welcome her into my world, as thousands
of others do, too. Together, the creation of a world that has more
compassion, tolerance, and kindness, is possible.

Example of how a design
was created: The Kwan Yin standing on
the Water was sketched from a 10 inch, 50 year old china
statue that belonged to my Mom. I then
created a background from a photograph, and in
the printing process, used two screens --one for
the background, blending the ink from blue to
purple, and then Kwan Yin herself was a single
colour in gold.
These
cards are not mechanically reproduced. Each is 5
x 7 inches, and hand printed (by silkscreen) onto
140 pound art card stock. They are blank on the
inside, and on the back is a verse channeled from
Kwan Yin (credit to Sandy Boucher, Discovering
Kwan Yin, 1999.)

ANTAHKARANA
Meditation greeting cards, printed in a metallic
purple, with gold tone meditation (from St.
Germain) underneath. The Antahkarana symbol
represents the link between the physical brain
via the crown chakra, to the Soul via the Higher
Self. Use of the symbol can help to relieve
stress and lead you to a state of inner peace. (A
directional leaflet is included).
