Art making has become somewhat of a game for me. Often when I set out inspired to create a particular piece I find something else emerging in its place. Sometimes it's as if it lures me in only to then snare me. But then art is as much about process as it is content. Seeking and seeing, creating, unraveling, destroying, being and being recreated. I'm always intrigued, often frustrated at the way art takes on a life of its own. It is dialectical where both art and artist transform each other. The images I project oblige me to think, feel, confront, accept, and frequently reject. Under the best conditions art is about reciprocity. During the worst circumstances it can feel wholly destructive. Currently nature and family images resonant with me, and have been influencing my work. The color in my art often compels me to merge with disparate parts of myself. It's the material whereupon thoughts and spirit commingle.

Katherine Abegg

Katherine has been studying A Course In Miracles with CRS since September of 2005. She has been writing personal essays for many years and has always been amazed by the power that words have to endow both reader and author with a sense of possibility and freedom. She is also inspired by the way that films can show life, not only as it is, but as it can be. Katherine is very honored and excited to publish her first blog on the CRS website.
