"Ruznic develops surfaces from which compositions of figures are coaxed out, as if alchemically." -Annie Godfrey Larmon In her exhibition at the Harwood Museum of Art in Taos, Bosnian-born artist Maja Ruznic (born 1983) presents out-of-focus, ghostly figures that express the nostalgia and trauma of her war-torn upbringing.

This collection includes 36 poems and 12 "incantations" that focus on the intertwined spiritual concepts of Light and Love. The poems, initially written within Catholic mystical tradition of contemplation and adoration of the Divine presence, gradually evolved to encompass a broader scope of spiritual insights, without losing the main focus: reaching out in Love to the One Light, the Source of All. The simple and repetitive meditations and incantations are meant to inspire, uplift, and fill the heart with Light and Love. Maja Trochimczyk, Ph.D., is a Polish American poet, music historian, photographer, and author of six books on music, most recently "Frédéric Chopin: A Research and Information Guide" (rev. ed., 2015). Trochimczyk's seven books of poetry include "Rose Always," "Miriam's Iris," "Slicing the Bread," "The Rainy Bread," and two anthologies, "Chopin with Cherries" and "Meditations on Divine Names."

NOW A MAJOR SERIES 'GENIUS' ON NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC, PRODUCED BY RON HOWARD AND STARRING GEOFFREY RUSH Einstein is the great icon of our age: the kindly refugee from oppression whose wild halo of hair, twinkling eyes, engaging humanity and extraordinary brilliance made his face a symbol and his name a synonym for genius.
