<h4>
To Know Yourself is to Forget Yourself</h4>

<blockquote>
So to know yourself is to forget yourself. This is to say that when we make friends with ourselves we no longer have to be so self-involved. It’s a curious twist: making friends with ourselves is a way of not being so self-involved anymore. Then Dogen Zen-ji goes on to say, “To forget yourself is to become enlightened by all things.” When we are not so self-involved, we begin to realize that the world is speaking to us all of the time. Every plant, every tree, every animal, every person, every car, every airplane is speaking to us, teaching us, awakening us. It’s a wonderful world, but we often miss it. It’s as if we see the previews of coming attractions and never get to the main feature.</blockquote>

They are used by our bodies to convert molecules into energy. They are independent, and genetically distinct from the cell nucleus, and can manufacture their own proteins. It is thought that mitochondria originated as a separate single-cell organism that became symbiotic with their hosts, as to be indispensable. Mitochondrial DNA is a remnant of a past existence as a separate organism. Mitochondria contain their own DNA, which we only inherit from our mothers, and can be used to trace maternal links (The American Heritage Science Dictionary).</span></div>

The reason water can keep changing its form is because it is essentially
formless. Its form is determined by what is around it. Put it in a cup, and it

no form of its own, because it harmonizes with everything around it, taking

<strong>“Zen Drawing”.</strong> Enlightenment, the first principle is possible acknowledging the everything and everyone is Buddha-nature. Enlightenment is possible to everyone. Enlightenment in Buddhism, or for the Taoist sage, is not expressible in words, or logical thought. Intuitive understanding is necessary, acknowledging that eternity is here and now.<br />

My art consists of a combination of video installations and paintings, which form an exploration of the sights and sounds of water. Focusing on a natural vista, the viewer may experience the crashing of waves, the roar of a whitewater river, and the sounds of a brook working its way downward, in the cycle of movement, back to the ocean.<br />

My paintings create a tactile experience for the viewer, transforming the gallery into a visual world of life sized natural forms which mirror the existing environment. The paintings are sculptural, created on large wood panels, with deep texture, stains and oils are worked into the wood. The videos are of natural events, surrounding the viewer with the gentle or crashing sounds of water, designed to include the viewer within the artwork.<br />

“My paintings are influenced from real physical spaces that
exist in nature. The painting is intrinsic to the wood panels that I use. A
tree was cut down to create this panel; the life of the tree encourages the
finished piece. My paintings begin more as sculptural projects. I assemble, sand,
stain, and texture, with an eye to the wood grains. I apply the paint by
rubbing the surface. The surface inspires the art.” D.A. Hartley<o:p></o:p><br />

Water! A combination of large-scale
videos within an installation format includes an inner meditation room,
surrounded by paintings and the gentle sounds of water, designed to include the
viewer in the artwork. The paintings are sculptural, created on large wood
panels, with deep texture, oil paints, and gold leaf. The videos are of natural
events; “Lost Canyon Falls”, includes water and fire, in a meditative film;
“Lake Kaweah”, transforms two years of photos into a video time piece,
recording the beauty of each passing day; “Douglas Creek”, includes streams,
meadows, and the sounds of water. <o:p></o:p></div>

Douglas Creek is one of many small creeks that come directly
from the high-country snowmelt and natural springs. It is our drinking water
for our cabin in Stanislaus National Forest, located at 6,700 ft. where the
water is delivered by gravity flow. After passing by our cabin it enters the South
Fork of the Stanislaus River, which begins at (9,635 ft. (2,937 m) Leavitt
Peak, in Tuolumne County and eventually enters the San Joaquin River, and
drains into the San Francisco Bay.<o:p></o:p></div>

This little mountain stream and river have sustained life
well beyond our time. There are parts of wagons used by the settlers trying to
cross the Sierra Nevada Mountains. There are obsidian points from the Miwok Native
American tribe and grinding stones. The tiny stream banks are lined with
willow, horsetail herb, mints, orchids, and many other wildflowers. As a child
I wandered where ever I wished, with the caveat that, if lost, head downhill. I
have slept outdoors with bear and mountain lions as possible visitors. Deer
have taken a nap beside me. Chipmunks and Golden Mantle squirrels have sat in
my hands. I trust the four- legged critters but keep a wary eye on the two
legged. <o:p></o:p></div>

Climate Change is changing our landscape quickly. We had to
saw down six large beautiful Ponderosa trees this year alone. They are dying at
a rapid rate, from bark beetles (love the heat), and a fungus, which spreads
from fir tree roots. This was all predicted by a U.C. Berkeley scientist that
wrote about how pollution affects the photosynthesis process, especially in the
Ponderosa Pines. I watched a fire burn this summer across the river, tree
torches burning brightly in the night. <o:p></o:p></div>

Nature influences my art, every aspect of nature in
the wild is so precious. In California we have been experiencing an extreme
drought, which is causing fires, and tree disease and plant die out in our
Sierra Nevada Mountains. We have lost thousands of trees in the last few years,
and the loss of natural habitat is shocking.<o:p></o:p><br />
My painting “Nobe Young Falls”, is a landscape created in oil paints. Nobe
Young Falls are in Sequoia National Forest. I used to have a home in Camp
Nelson, and the falls were near my home. It is an area that was homesteaded by
my son’s great, great, grandmother, Nellie Marshall (the niece of John
Marshall, discoverer of Gold! in California). She homesteaded 200 acres near
Ponderosa, CA. in the Sierra Nevada’s of California, in 1870’s. She married
Nathan Dillon, a gold rush businessman, and owner of land that is now
Dillonwood Sequoia Grove in Sequoia National Park.<o:p></o:p><br />
Nobe Young Falls are now a destination, when I hiked there it was an
unmarked trail. If you would like to visit these falls there are now directions
posted. <a href="https://www.world-of-waterfalls.com/california-nobe-young-falls.html">https://www.world-of-waterfalls.com/california-nobe-young-falls.html</a><o:p></o:p><br />

As an artist and healer, I address the healing of our planet. I try to
approach Climate Change, and our damaged environment, more as a spiritual
issue. First, we must heal ourselves, and by doing so we will become aware of
the reality of the global stress that humanity has caused.<o:p></o:p><br />

Please promote self-healing by visiting beautiful sites in nature. This

I have inherited my grandmother's love of flowers. Just moments after arriving for a visit, she would say, “Let’s go outside and see the garden". “Blue Iris” is a photo taken by my photographer son, Chris Gilbert, in that garden. His photo was the source of my painting. When we sold her home, the blue iris came home with me, recently planted in this tree stump.<br />

Please view my page 'Healing Plants', a blog about my grandmother's garden, then my sons, and last, my beautiful garden at her home: Page on this site:<a href="https://friendnature.wordpress.com/healing-plants/"> https://friendnature.wordpress.com/healing-plants/</a><br />

Flowers give me courage, the life of a flower is so ephemeral, the beauty of the flower quickly passes, and is soon replaced by another. My life is passing just as quickly, and I will soon be replaced by my children and grandchildren. I long to look at flowers (and grandchildren’s) beautiful faces. <br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In my little greenhouse I have a tray of tiny lavender plants, also snow peas, and a flat of chamomile. The flowers attract the butterflies, bees, and birds. My desk looks out over my garden. My dad was the gardener, with a large vegetable garden, and a pergola filled with red grapes. I am the new keeper of his garden. My garden here, although established, was a working man’s garden. I just finished planting his vegetable garden this winter, and I planted a peach tree, expecting blossoms and delicious peaches late spring.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

I am off to paint a ceiling mural, sky and clouds, on my future grandchild’s nursery!</div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span>As an artist, I paint when I am
inspired. Everything flows; feeling great, working in the studio for hours,
paints flow from my brush. The question is how to be an artist when the
inspiration has disappeared, when you feel blocked from your inner self?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
I began this series of paintings
while I was blocked! My creative solution was to paint the limitation that I
was feeling. I began just to paint actual BLOCKS, placed in restrictive grids, which
eventually swirled into patterns.<o:p></o:p></div>

The first painting this series is the painting “Eye of God”. </div>

Using the contrasting shades
of blue and orange created a boldness I had not expected. Somehow the ‘eye’ is not blocked, or it is not
placed within the grid. The ‘eye’ expands to me the feeling of what is possible,
or what is enduring within myself.<br />

using analogous colors.
The lovely landscape is blocked by a
large grid, and it is broken into drip-like smaller grids within the panes of a
window. To me that exemplifies that there is beauty in the world, yet at the
time I could not quite access it. <br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #3c3d47; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;">This is the second painting in the series: Birth of a Painting Series. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #3c3d47; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;"> Artists love to create, and I am trying to dedicate my time to create a platform to showcase my art. Sadly, painting is so much more rewarding for me! This week I am washing each of my paintings, photographing them, and formatting the photos for different uses. Before this, then that, which means that I have to learn to use a 35mm camera, light balance, f stops, the list is endless. I was almost caught swearing the other day.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #3c3d47; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;"></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #3c3d47; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;"> My son is helping me with #'s. I have started posting on Instagram:dahartley222, Twitter: DAHartley, my wordpress blog, Friend Nature (<a href="https://friendnature.wordpress.com/">https://friendnature.wordpress.com</a>). The learning curve makes my head spin. I would rather be out today under the blue sky digging in my garden!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #3c3d47; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;"> My art focuses on spirituality, healing, self-expression, and nature themes. My collectors have noticed my healing theme, my paintings have been purchased by hospitals, nurses, and healing professionals, and those individuals that need healing. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #3c3d47; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;"> I am currently inspired by artist, writer, and teacher, Lisa Congdon. Her book, <u>ART, INC. </u>is driving me on. (<a href="http://lisacongdon.com/">lisacongdon.com</a>). She offers ideas on how to prepare a press kit, advertising on line, creating a marketing plan, just about everything you need to learn to promote your own art. Check out her website!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #3c3d47; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;"></span>
<span style="color: #3c3d47; font-family: "georgia" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;"> She Broke, is the first of a similar group of paintings from my BLOCKED art show in 2000. I will be posting the rest of the painting in the next several posts.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">I begin this series with
my painting “Blossom Peak”. It is a 4’ x 6’, mixed media painting on a wood
panel, created in 2004. It is in a private collection. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">The inspiration for the
painting “Blossom Peak” began on a hike I took with my son. We climbed an iconic
peak in Three Rivers, California. Three Rivers is near the entrance to Sequoia
National Park, on the banks of the whitewater Kaweah River. The park is the
home of Mount Whitney, in the Sierra Nevada mountain range. It is famous for
its giant sequoia groves, jagged peaks, and glacier polished valleys, rushing
rivers, and wildlife. As a resident of Three Rivers, hiking is an important
experience, as well as white water rafting and swimming, and it is the
backpackers dream location.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

enthusiastically began our hike at the base of Blossom Peak, and headed
straight up hill, we rose above California’s Central Valley, hidden by fog.
After reaching the top, we could see the peaks of the Sierra Nevada, signed the
book, made our cell calls, and then my son looked over the steep edge, and
slipped. He somehow caught himself at the last moment at the precipice, a 35’
drop to the rocks below. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Denise Hartley was born in Oakdale, CA; lived in the art community of Three Rivers, CA for 22 years, studied art in NYC at the Art Students League, and lived on the island of Kauai, in Santa Barbara, and currently lives in Oakdale, CA.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">BA in Fine Art, and Philosophy (Religion)</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">MA degree in Fine Art, New Media.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>Artist Statement:</b></span><br />
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 1.57143em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: white;">D.A. Hartley</span></span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, serif; margin-bottom: 1.57143em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;"> My life has been driven by art. The artist eye looks to nature for inspiration, and then artist within translates these insights into an art work. Anything may appear onto the paper or canvas. The artist may channel the past, the present, or the future. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;">I am a Reiki healer, and use healing in my art process. As a artist and healer, I address the healing of our planet. I try to approach Climate Change, and our damaged environment, more as a spiritual issue. First we have to heal ourselves, and by doing so we will become aware of the reality of the global stress that humanity has caused. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;">I studied at the Art Students League, NYC, with professional artists of New York. I have a BA degree in Art, yet found my voice with my BA in Philosophy, and a Masters Degree in Fine Art.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, serif; margin-bottom: 1.57143em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;">My business has been painting murals. My favorite project I painted with my son, the children’s floor, Children’s Hospital, Central Valley. (www.dahartley.com).</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, serif; margin-bottom: 1.57143em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;">I have a California teaching credential in Art, longing to share my experiences as a professional artist.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, serif; margin-bottom: 1.57143em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;">I have lived in the mountains of the Sierra’s in California, and at the sea in Monterey, and Santa Barbara. In New York City when I was young, and a few years ago, on the island of Kauai, teaching children with autism. I currently live in Oakdale, CA.</span></div>
