Beyond Fear

Unique Insights
SLMM founder Mary Carroll Nelson spent years discovering how her fellow artists created art through their perception of an interconnectedness to all life, physical as well as metaphysical, that bridged the visible and invisible. She coined the word "Layering" to describe an art form in which artists invest their art with layers of emotions, memories, objects, and symbols that are combined into a whole, using a wide variety of mediums and styles. Nelson defined this perspective as holistic. Unique Insights is a stepping stone in SLMM's continued evolution toward increased awareness of its mission as creative artists and members with holistic intent.
The Legendary Artists of Taos
"The founding of New Mexico's famous art colony and its pioneer artists"--Jacket subtitle.
Visual Journeys
The Society of Layerists in Multi-Media is an international group of artists sharing a holistic world view. The thought that unites the society is, "We are all connected. There exists a oneness and unity to everything, everyone, and the whole." This philosophical premise distinguishes it from other art societies that are based on a single medium. Layered art is distinguished not by its medium, style, or technique so much as by the individual mind of the artist who creates it. Layers are built, metaphysically as well as physically, with an emphasis on metaphoric relationships among all elements in the work. Although layers may be transparent and visible, others might be hidden, known only to their creator. They might contain buried words, objects, prayers, or symbols. Personal memories and the collective unconscious lend forms and significance to each piece of layered art.

It traces the careers of these women and their challenges to the pre-eminence of empathy as the ethical posture from which to examine pain.
