| Publisher Description: Part celebration of visual art, part celebration of the written word, Moments of Wonder is one woman's grateful tribute to the profound interludes that move her into "wonder." These deeply spiritual "moments" resonate in the writing with a rare depth of feeling that makes for a gripping and engaging read. The author's capacity to conjure imagery in words shines even more brightly beside her remarkable glass creations, making this a truly enchanting collection.... |
Contributor Bio(s): Wolff, Evelyn: - "Moments of Wonder" is Evelyn Wolff's first book. For almost 40 years, Evelyn balanced her career as a stained glass artist, with the life of a physician practising and teaching integrative medicine. She recently retired from medicine to give herself wholeheartedly to her art. Her 38 year practice of Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism, has been a healing, and guiding force informing her life and creativity. With an apprenticeship in the European tradition of stained glass, Evelyn combines a finely tuned colour sensibility, with a flair for innovative design and engineering that stretch the limits of this crystalline medium. The radiance of the resultant artform, is the fruit of Evelyn's continuing dedication to life. When not creating glassworks, she can be found at the Belleville YWCA swimming, at Gallery 121 showing glass, and facilitating environmental groups. For adventure she travels through the beauty of northern Ontario sharing with far flung friends and Buddhists; for rest and reverie she goes to the cottage on Lake Mississagagon, swimming with the resident loons, or walking the woods with her dog Trixie, and the wild turkeys. Memberships: Artists in Stained Glass, Quinte Arts Council, Muskoka Arts & Crafts.
