a star is born in the beginning lived only chaos, tumbling over and through the great void of darkness falling toward divine disorder. a call rang out awakening the light; a call of hope and grace slowly sliding- each into her place. sky beings gathering; dust bunnies, hushed in anticipation, beginning the great dance of joy. i saw the first spark glowing, a tiny ember of ordered cosmos swirling headlong to defeat the chaos. what could i do but join in the dance of the sky gods? boldly i twirled toward chaos, anarchy scattering. i wondered at the great mysterious changing of the universe. i wondered at the divine disorder coursing headlong through night skies. i wondered at the sky ablaze with sparks changing embers to starlight. i wondered at the power of this grace sculpting cosmos from chaos. i wondered at the great mysterious changing of the universe. i wondered at the divine disorder coursing through the night sky and catching on fire. blazing embers of amazing grace forever changing chaos to cosmos.

Annelea's travels obviously influences how she sees and react to the world around her, giving her art a style that is vibrant and bold--characterized by the colours that flow from her brush onto the canvas and not any one particular technique. Her work leans toward portraying an emotion or characteristic rather than rendering a photo. Carla and Annelea met during a brief time when they were both studying in the Czech Republic. They forged a close bond that has lasted many years and across many countries. This collaboration is the first of what they hope with be many.
