Jillian Powell’s work is absolutely stunning. Paintings that I can stare at for long periods of time - “an antidote to the suffering in this world.” Focusing on beauty doesn’t deny the suffering, rather it helps to fill me with joy so I can give that to others throughout my day. Beauty, art and nature sustains my focus on all the really awe inspiring magnificence that life has to offer. And there is so much of it if we are willing to focus on it.
