Beth Budesheim

This issue's theme is Charity. The search for our cover artwork lead us to a wonderful artist/sculptor Beth Budesheim, from Kansas City, MO. and her website called Painted Journeys. We would like to welcome Beth to Inner Tapestry and thank her for her willingness to share her work with all of us both in print and on her website. Beth donates at least 3% of all of the sales income to organizations working for nature conservation and peace. This is a truly great website and we hope you will take the opportunity to visit and enjoy the work of this talented artist.

We would like to share this expression from Beth about her work:

"As dreams take flight" is a painting that brings the viewer to that place in time and space within one's self where new hopes, dreams and inspirations are gathered and sent forward. The stars represent these dreams as sacred intentions of light floating outward, released in faith to Spirit, and one's divine helpers. This piece is the second painting in the series of three titled, "Shaman's Bowl.”

My life, work & paintings are centered on the themes of self-realization, exploration of the Spirit-Matter Bridge, and healing. Because everything we place in our space has an energy that affects us, I enjoy creating paintings that offer positive vibrations and invite the viewer into a sacred inner space. A painting, for me, is a living, breathing, communicating creation and my wish is for those drawn to my work, to enjoy, experience and benefit in some way not only from the imagery, but the more subtle vibrational information that dances with, informs and nurtures the soul.

Original paintings specialized Healing Attunement Mandalas, personal intuitive painting commissions, and in-person or remote intuitive healing sessions, are all a part of my creative work and offerings to you. To learn more about my work, and me I invite you to enjoy a visit to my website, www.PaintedJourneys.com.

Thank you and many blessings to you!
