Because
artistic expression can convey the spirit of the earth as affectingly
as any other form of human communication, the Partnership, which has many
renowned artists and musicians among its members, features music, paintings, photographs, batiks,
and other forms of graphic arts in this section. The captions associated
with each picture are provided by the artists, and additional works are
available for viewing. In this way, viewers can learn more about the artists
and, if so moved, acquire some of their works. Artworks represented here
are chosen by a selection committee appointed by the Partnership board.

Sacred Spaces
“There’s a deep
desire in me to create work which speaks of the sacredness
of nature. Inspiration leaps from the mystery encountered
in this universe we call home.”

The Sacred Grove
“Our ancestors interpreted
this magic through the mythology of the Green Man, a leafy
face who peers down from medieval cathedral vaults. Remembered
as Jack of the Green, the Green Knight, Robin Hood, Green
Man is on my mind as I seek the sacred in nature.”

Artist: Wallace
Ford
“Landscape teaches the Earth Story,
generously providing us with metaphors which enrich our
understanding of the human vocation within the unfolding
creation. Northern New Mexico landscapes, because of their
variety and often starkness, narrate the story in ways not
easily found in other settings.”

Musician: Steve Miller
“The website presents various expressions of StepJMil (me). I sing and play guitar with the Celtic Coyotes. I also write songs. Some I sing in churches. A few churches use my songs even when I’m not there, and from that I get royalties from CCLI if the church reports the use (link to songs for worship). Other songs arise from my psyche as the muse strikes (link). I also write poems, musings, and thoughts (link). ...The Celtic Coyotes plays and sings traditional music from Scotland, Ireland, Wales, and Brittany. But the “Coyote” in the name suggests other possibilities. You may contact Celtic Coyotes through this site. You may also contact me about my other music.”
—Stephen J. Miller

Musician: Eileen Shaughnessy
“As a musician and a songwriter, I am inspired by just being open to amazement and wonder...something we sometimes forget to do in our busy lives. I love the magic of music and how songs can create worlds within and outside of our own world. I’ve been known to write songs about chickens, revolution, and of course, love. My music is sometimes folk-y, sometimes dance-y, and it's always infused with that same sense of wonder. I envision my album for the Harvest CSA project as a collection of catchy, heart-breaking, and pop-infused stories sharing amazement and wonder.”
—Eileen Shaughnessy
