My response as an artist to the tragic events of September 11 was to do this pastel painting. It depicts my backyard statue of Quan Yin. I am giving out postcards in hopes of spreading her mission, which is to reawaken love in the world. Quan Yin (also Kuan Yin, Guanyin) is the Chinese Goddess of Compassion and Healing, and according to Buddhist tradition, she chose to put off attaining her own buddhahood until all of the cries of the people on the planet were answered, making her the Bodhisattva of Compassion.

My recent appreciation of Quan Yin has helped me so much and I hope it will help you too.
