Reaching For Peace, Hoping for Love

Tis the Seasons again. I have enjoyed a few amazing events this 2023, and I’m in awe of the promise of 2024. What a year it’s been and so proud of the work from 2023.

My jewelry has been selected the last few years to honor this yearly event.

Revelations, in Celebration of 65 Years of The Alvin Ailey Dance Theater performing for The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts 2023

Artists in Conversation: TheArthur Wright, Michael Granville and Unity Lewis in Conversation with Denise Ward at Museum of Sonoma County February 19, 2023

And the wonderful art I had a chance to collaborate with my clients on kinetic art for their homes, I thank you!

For the rest of December, you can find me December 9, 16, 23 and 30 at THE ORIGINAL SANTA ROSA FARMERS MARKET at Luther Burbank Center for the Arts, on Mark West Springs Road off 101.

Everyday, reaching for Peace is a struggle. The world keeps on spinning and it often takes its toll on the innocent. When will we ever learn to love, to require less, to have real compassion, to be open to differences and reach for our humanity? Humans are such amazing creatures, beautiful and destructive, intelligent and savage.

We are better than we think, capable of loving and genius and bravery. I am wishing you love, compassion and intelligence. Look at where you are, what you can do to help with a listening heart and help often.

Wishing you Peace,

Denise
