Study of a Dog Scratching
Sarah Myers

   Here's a sketch of a dog, just capturing an unconscious moment.  She is scratching, ears lying back and a long front leg out to brace herself...  The picture's minimal lines are worked in charcoal pencil.

The Christmas Tree
Sarah Myers
   Christmas draws near. The fragrance of fir-branches fills the house, the sparkle of lights catches the eye; we count the days one by one. We pretend that our tree has been caught under a snowfall of great flakes as large across as a cake or a halo. The ornaments we hang on the boughs are brightly coloured and toy-like. Joy is always full of beauty, but it is not always serious. So we have a camel, thinking of the Wise Men on their long, expectant journey across the desert; and an angel in a gold robe, announcing the birth of the child who is God; and a sheep for the shepherds, the ones who saw an open heaven and the choirs singing eternal glory. Then we have other little figures with no significance except happiness and cheer... We know that our tiny decorations, our songs, our twinkling lights, cannot express the splendor of the world of Christmas. They only express our happiness in its reality, and in the presence of that reality with us - every day, but perhaps more closely felt, more rich and more dear to us now as we hold to the light in the darkness, to the songs in the night, to a sudden glimpse of the eternal. 
Snowflakes and ornaments, except for the glass soldier Sandro and the glass pendants, are my handwork.

Bees on Silver and Gold, Sarah Myers

   Diligent bees with gold bands and filmy wings, humming in and out of the flowers - the ferocious-looking but most welcome guardian of the garden, a giant bronze dragonfly - the tiny silver glint of a blue-gray butterfly, with a curled tongue still tasting sweetness - all these small visitors have been spotted among the flowers, taking as their own world the beauty and brightness of the garden. I captured these images in my sister's garden in the desert, whose progress you can read about here; the pictures are from late summer, early autumn days when the air was full of busy creatures, full of this smaller world which we gladly welcome as our own.

Jasmine White
Sarah Myers, Photography
What are the colours of white? The pure scent of the jasmine blossom, the billowing shoulders of an unstained cloud; the pearl-cold, pearl-small dot of the moon among the palm-fronds; the delicious ivory of a new rose; that burst of exultant happiness, the Star of Bethlehem flower; the frail lace of an apricot bloom which is the delight of an eager bee. Here are many tints of white, the colour without shadow.

Head of a Child, Sarah Myers
This sculpture of a young child looking expectantly upward is one of my most recent works, a small bust in terracotta created for my mother. He is about 18 cm (7 inches) high and modelled in a rich, warm earthenware, a clay whose composition was developed by my sister Amy Myers. I am pleased with the baby's vitality and by the bright, childlike spontaneity in his expression.

My new sculpture holds overflowing flowers in her hands and on her head. Made in stoneware for just these kinds of bouquets, she glances up at the blooms above her with a happy expression and sways lightly as if beginning to dance with the flowers.

Ethereal
Sarah Myers, Photography
 In pale light, the tiny orchids immaterialize into fluttering wings, dancing up and down across the arch of their stem. But the miniscule blooms are full of fragrance that dances with them; the air is full of a beauty whose melody - or tinted haze - or intangible happiness - floats far beyond the little handful of white-and-pink flowers.
