<div style="color: black; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Nelson created classics of modern furniture and interior design like the Coconut Chair (1956), the Marshmallow Sofa (pictured, 1956), the Ball Clock (1947), the Bubble Lamps (starting in 1952) and the Action Office (1964). He was not only a leading designer and notable architect, but also a prominent author, editor, lecturer, exhibition designer, and a passionate photographer.</span></div>

<div style="color: black; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In his many essays on design, he was one of the most prominent voices among his peers in reflecting on the working conditions, duties and objectives of his profession at a time when the field and its image were still in the formative years. Nelson’s conception of design as a system, his approach that went beyond mere styling and always took into consideration the greater nexus of interrelated interests and concerns as well as his achievements in the teaching of design give his oeuvre particular relevance and appeal in today’s context.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">I have always loved ART. As a child I was always drawing,
colouring, painting! Art is in my nature! It is who I am! I am an intuitive
artist, so anything inspirational on a spiritual level is inspiring.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">I am inspired by the fact that ART is an invisible doorway for
those who seek healing, stillness and personal self-expression. I see myself as
a conduit through the art forms for those who seek to know their true selves,
and gain an understanding of self through their own ART making. This is what
inspires me.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">There are so many things that inspire me to paint or sculpt. I like
to paint spiritual images, and what helps me is the ability to use my
imagination to capture an idea and express it in many meaningful different
ways. My artwork reflects my inner desire to see a peace filled world of an
interfaith perspective. Before I paint, I have a general idea/ plan about what
Id like to paint, and then when I am in the process of painting more ideas
about colours and images to include come through. I surprise myself how a
painting turns out. Last year the monks at the Buddhist Temple where so
impressed with my interpretation of Buddha, that they have commissioned me to
paint images for the Buddhist University! This is very exciting for me, and
especially so that I am Christian not Buddhist. You may ask me why I paint
Buddha, and the answer is I love the energy of painting Buddha. It gives me
great satisfaction.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

to children’s development. They lead happier lives and there is depth and
tenderness in their character because they have been taught through the ARTS
(including dance drama & music) to express themselves without fear. They
gain confidence in how to relate to others, and understand themselves better.
When I left full time teaching, I worked as an Art Specialist running Arts
workshops for Teachers/Artistic Retreats/Spirituality Days for Staff
Development days for various schools and Various Hopsital staffs. I have worked
part time as a Visual Arts sessional lecturer/tutor at various Universities,
and along with a colleague, I co-authored some Arts oriented Educational
curriculum documents. I am involved annually in the judging and coordination of
specific Children’s art exhibitions, and I have organised several other
exhibitions for schools and small community groups.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">Then I go down stairs to the Studio to do some clearing of the
creative space. This includes always having fresh flowers next to a beautiful
statue of Buddha, and burning incense. I check that all equipment is prepared
on the tables, steam clean the floor, and have the artworks ready in the studio
on easels. Finally, I set an intention for a perfect day. I light scented
candles around the studio space, and turn on the CD player with some calming
music. The adult students arrive around 10am, and I will be on my feet until
1pm After they have left, I prepare for the afternoon class at 3:30pm.This will
include cleaning brushes, emptying dirty water bucket, sweeping floor, and the
washing up from morning tea. I eat my lunch, and then if I do not have any
business to attend to, I will spend a few hours ( if I am lucky) painting for
my exhibition. At 3pm I make cordial and prepare afternoon tea for my younger
students as some of them come to art class straight from school and they need a
carb hit! At 4:45pm my husband comes down with ice creams for the kids. This is
their time to stop painting, and have an artistic conversation with each other
about their artworks. I finish at around 6pm and I have tidied the studio space
ready for the next day!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

important. I am learning this skill, and I realise I need to be dedicated to

<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">I have had so many proud moments in my life. But my proudest moment
was when in 2004 I conducted a State wide Children’s Peacelink Project, where
33,000 children stopped at 12 noon with their teachers, and meditated and
prayed for World Peace for 10 minutes. I was very kindly acknowledged by Mr
Nelson Mandela (Via Email from South Africa) and his Holiness the Dalai Lama
(through his contact in Canberra) who both endorsed and supported the project!
Mr James Twyman (World Peace Troubadour, musician and author of book ‘Emissary

of Sydney, Archbishop Pell, also endorsed the project. It was a fabulous!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">She came in as a baby in 1998 with two broken wings. Her left wing doesn't open all the way even after surgery,it was broken in 4 places. She's my baby.</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><div style="text-align: justify;">
When Freedom came in she could not stand and both wings were broken. She was emaciated and covered in lice. We made the decision to give her a chance at life, so I took her to the vet's office. From then on, I was always around her. We had her in a </div>
</span><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><div style="text-align: justify;">
huge dog carrier with the top off, and it was loaded up with shredded newspaper for her to lay in. I used to sit and talk to her, urging her to live, to fight; and she would lay </div>
</span><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><div style="text-align: justify;">
there looking at me with those big brown eyes. We also had to tube feed her for weeks.</div>
</span></span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><div style="text-align: justify;">
This went on for 4-6 weeks, and by then she still couldn't stand. It got to the point where the decision was made to euthanize her if she couldn't stand in a week. You know you don't want to cross that line between torture and rehab, and it looked like death was </div>
</span><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><div style="text-align: justify;">
winning. She was going to be put down that Friday, and I was supposed to come in on that Thursday afternoon. I didn't want to go to the center that Thursday, because I couldn't </div>
</span><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><div style="text-align: justify;">
bear the thought of her being euthanized; but I went anyway, and when I walked in everyone was grinning from ear to ear. I went immediately back to her cage; and there she was, standing on her own, a big beautiful eagle. She was ready to live. I was just about in tears by then. That was a very good day. </div>
</span></span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">We knew she could never fly, so the director asked me to glove train her.I got her used to the glove, and then to jesses, and we started doing education programs for schools</span></div>

In the spring of 2000, I was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. I had stage 3, </div>
</span><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><div style="text-align: justify;">
which is not good (one major organ plus everywhere), so I wound up doing 8 months of </div>
</span><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><div style="text-align: justify;">
chemo. Lost the hair - the whole bit. I missed a lot of work. When I felt good enough, I would go to Sarvey and take Freedom out for walks. Freedom would also come to me in my dreams and help me fight the cancer. This happened time and time again.</div>

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">the day after Thanksgiving,I went in for my last checkup. I was told that if the cancer was not all gone after 8 rounds of chemo, then my last option was a stem cell transplant. Anyway, they did the tests; and I had to come back Monday for the results. I went in Monday, and I was =told that all the cancer was gone.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';">So the first thing I did was get up to Sarvey and </span><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';">take the big girl out for a walk. It was misty </span><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';">and cold. I went to her flight and jessed her up, and we went out front to the top of the </span><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';">hill. I hadn't said a word to </span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">Freedom, but somehow she knew. She looked at me and wrapped bother wings around me to where I </span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">could feel them pressing in on my back (I was engulfed in eagle wings), and she touched my nose with her beak and stared into my eyes, and we just stood there like that for I don't know how long . That was a </span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">magic moment. We have been soul mates ever since she came in. This is a very special bird.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">On a side note: I have had people who were sick come up to us when we are out, and Freedom has some kind of hold on them. I once had a guy who was terminal come up to us and I let him hold her. His knees just about buckled and he swore he could feel her power course through his body. I have so many stories like that..</span></div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">I never forget the honor I have of being so close to such a magnificent spirit as Freedom.</span></div>
