Welcome!                                                                                                     
Drawing on both my own childhood experiences and my children's,  I try and create the world as I wish it would be.  The poem I wrote below, expresses my sadness for the pain in the world and for my desire to have a voice in that world, to somehow make it better.  A voice that claims hope and love and joy as victorious.  Thank you for joining me on this journey!

Self-Love

A Call To Create
By Juli Cady Ryan

that single salty river
burning down your cheek
the homeless man who walks
alone down the city street
the widow who cries out at night
for her only love
the man who holds a gun so tight
shooting at the dove….

and this is why I paint.


                                                                the child left all alone 
                                                               crying for his mom
                                                                    the man who hates the world
                                                                          and on his body is a bomb
                                                               the cancer that eats away
                                                                   at a dear dear friend
                                                              the little boy gunned down
                                                                       too young to meet his end…
                             
                                                                  and this is why I paint.


                                                                My world I enter
                                                                with a brush
                                                                washing color over pain
                                                                there is a rush
                                                                oh happy world I seek a way
                                                                hoping to paint
                                                                a bright new day…
             
                                                                      and this is why I paint.
