spring 2023 greetings friends! New Moon Visions was founded almost 3 decades ago. A few years back, I considered closing shop. But Life (and elders) are subject to CHANGE and a new idea has sprouted… I want to keep going!
I love my biz, connecting with customers and offering Beauty to the world.
Thank you from my heart for your support of my artwork over all these years. mara
Be Strong as Mountain, Be Gentle as Feather

Where I sit is holy, holy is the ground
Forest, mountain, river, listen to the sound
Great Spirit circle all around me
One of my first paintings created on Kauai after the great Hurricane Iniki. The experience of 200 plus mile-an-hour winds shook the fear of failure out of me. After the dust settled and we were able to get our house in order, I began to paint like a whirlwind. I remember walking down the beach and the phrase "Be strong as mountain, be gentle as feather" kept whispering in my mind. This image is a response to that call. She is very Mary-like, a peaceful madonna rooted to the earth, enveloped by a halo of green compassionate light.
