Radon Daughter Imagery

    Since the BIG move from the land of traffic, crowds, and a vast sea of new houses, I thought it was time to pay homage to a place where my spirit finds comfort; Mt. Taylor.
 Mt. Taylor for me, represents everything that is sacred. As in past New Mexico Nursing Excellence Awards, I have always tried to create an image which depicted a certain element of nursing. This year, I went back to where it all began; a hummingbird, gently floating over Mt. Taylor and it's surrounding landscape(s). It is not only a hummingbird but a representation of my son, Skye. Skye passed away at the age of two-years-old, he was terminally ill and had complications from severe Cerebral Palsy. It has been 13yrs. since he passed away. However there are times, when it feels just like yesterday; devastating....Still - I feel, this is a beautiful way to pay homage to my son, my daughter Oryan, and to the element of compassion for all living things.
