		<description><![CDATA[Have you ever crossed a major threshold in your life and not realized it until much later?&#160; By threshold, I mean some particular moment that signifies moving from one phase of your life, or state of being, and into another. Some thresholds are easy to catch as you go through: weddings, graduations, the birth of [...]

At the start of the walk I set the intention to focus on the theme of moving between  shadow and light, and what that might [...]

		<description><![CDATA[One of the great side effects of immersing myself in studying, painting and walking labyrinths all this month is that they&#8217;ve begun to seep into my dreams. I&#8217;m reading an amazing book called &#8216;Dancing at the Edge of Death&#8217; by Jodi Lorimer, which traces the origins of the labyrinth back to the Paleolithic era. It&#8217;s [...]

		<description><![CDATA[I actually painted this labyrinth for yesterday&#8217;s Art Every Day Month piece, and was unhappy with it. So I put it aside and worked on another piece. I like the idea of this, and love the texture of the background, but I really hated seeing how slap-dash the dots were. Before  painting I had a [...]
