The Photograph

I took this photograph near Castlebar, Ireland. “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.” (Proverbs 3:5-6) kjv

Welcome! A few years ago, I discovered an application that artists employ in their works to bring cultural awareness to their audiences. Having discerned this semiotic theory that applies to literature, music, art, film, and the media, I have devoted the blog,Theory of Iconic Realism to explore this theory. The link to the publisher of my book is below. If you or your university would like a copy of this book for your library or if you would like to review it for a scholarly journal, please contact the Edwin Mellen Press at the link listed below. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Thank you for visiting. I hope you will find the information insightful. ~ Dr. Jeanne Iris

A Valentine Poem

A quilt block that I have hand-sewn for a heart-themed quilt. 
The roses and leaves were made from strips of satin ribbon.

Love's Capacity

We human beings
have the capacity to love
like no other creature on earth.
 
Our loving power resides 
in the benevolence
that we extend to others.
 
Not expecting reciprocity,
we can use our essence 
lovingly to enrich the lives of others.
 
Releasing our contribution,
resonating from within 
we tap the universal wellspring: 
Divine Love.
