    City of Sedona ArizonaSedona AZ (October 14, 2017) – Susan Munich Henkels was born and grew up in Lexington, Kentucky amidst some of the most beautiful trees in the country. She remembers her attraction from early on when trees would show up in every first to eighth grade drawing she ever did. She was either climbing, falling out of, or drawing trees. She never grew out of that particular phase of her life. Henkels says, “Moving to Sedona in 1989 has been a constant source of inspiration for my drawings and for my work as a psychotherapist, as psychology and art are a beautiful blend.”

    Her focus on trees is similar to discovering the inner spirit of the soul, and when recognized and appreciated that soul can be nurtured and bloom. “The preciseness that the pencil provides lends itself to the detail I can explore, much the way I work with people. A final image emerges through the process of repetition and refinement. Look at my drawings through what you see about yourself and your own process,” she says.

    Nancy Lattanzi, Arts & Culture Coordinator says, “It is always eye opening to discover someone that is esteemed in one field, yet happens to be talented in another field. Susan is not only a well respected therapist in our community, but a gifted artist. What she can do with a Prisma colored pencil is nothing short of incredible. Her clear passion and connection to trees is so meticulously captured within the soft hues she so deftly masters with colored pencils. I am very happy to be able to exhibit her nature themed work and invite the public to stop by to experience this beautiful exhibit.”

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
