From the Artist:
“Shotoku”. A fluid dance through sapphire waters. Shielded from anxious eyes by the tranquil water lilies that float on the surface, suspended between Heaven and Earth. A symphony of equanimity. Prince Shotoku, poet, (574-622) of Japan mused, “We uphold harmony as noble, consider the absence of discord our principal aim.” In this world suspended from gravity of Earth and men, discord is unknown. Harmony is the given. To be in tuned with the natural order is to be in harmony with one’s self. Swim in the pond where safety and longevity can be achieved and enjoyed.
“Michelle Samerjan grew up in a home where the passion and love of art was taught in the same breath as reading and writing. As a child, while accompanying her father on his wide-ranging travels for his textile business, Michelle began to recognize the nuances of texture and color in fabrics. On these travels, she developed a curiosity about the world. From a successful career in textiles, Michelle moved into designing three-dimensional spaces and environments for selected companies, blending form with function.
Michelle Samerjan’s art expresses a unique vision that hints at Zen and far Eastern mysticism to create imagery that soothes the senses, works in any environment, and can be the portal for the journey of an awakened soul. She currently resides in Duluth, Georgia.”
