How Art Heals-WEB

87 37. Deborah L. Brand WWW.DEBORAHLBRAND.COM NEW YORK, USA “I owned a yard of green lace for a long time. An Even Dozen was just wait- ing for other components to come along. Recently, the unexpected find (on the street) of a bird book completed my thoughts. Birds are among the most amazing of nature’s creatures. Their songs give us music. They give us pleasure. “The green domes at the top portion of this collage are of the main cathe- dral in Venice, one of the most fabulous creations of humankind.” An Even Dozen is the most recent of my works. It is a celebration of the beauty and optimism that is called Life. It took a long time to complete and gave me pleasure and calm.
