How refreshing would it be if you could dive right into these colors?
 
Welcome to my studio, where I write, paint, read, study, and pray. I muse, too, and hopefully let the creative juices run over onto the screen and other canvases of my craft. Time spent on our craft is not only a good habit...it is essential to our heart and spirit.
 
The Gift of Me

For my birthday this year
I'll give myself the gift of time.
Time to meet myself anew;
to rediscover silence,
and come back to life.
To taste a crisp, cool grape,
and lose myself in a book's world.
Time to start over.
Time to get to know
the me I have become.

This summer I ask my soul to dance.
My fingers long to unlock the gift given and let it soar.
I'll squeeze my hopes, desires, repressions, and expressions onto my clean beginning,
write my struggles into prose and soothe my senses with new surroundings.
I'll turn the key and find...the possibility of Providence. 
Freedom or frivolity?  Freedom now.
My will and time are in an alabaster jar broken then poured out on the Master Artist's feet.

Painting Myself Into a Corner

I'm chasing my artistic self around the ole calendar again. First, I set aside Sundays to paint, pray and get refreshed. My art time was displaced by much needed sleep or the motivation eluded me.  Now it can't find a place to land. So I joined a local artist guild in hopes that this will help me nail down that slippery thing called discipline. Perhaps it will have to be a two-four day a month Renaissance Recluse Retreat at home. That is what our crock pot and freezer are for, me thinks. My spirit longs for visual expression. I crave color, texture and the sound of the brush on canvas, the familiar pungent scent of my acrylics. My new water-based oils stand by for experimentation. There are some things words can't express. Please get me there, Lord! Put the world on hold and let me pray with paint.

About Selah

Selah Cohen (Copyright 2011 Selah Cohen)  
 

Selah Cohen has experience in the fields of art, education, media, ministry, missions, the performing arts, and is a published writer. When a retinal disease began to steal her sight, she learned that God created our senses to be an integral part of our personal and worship relationship with Him. She realized the senses can help us take in and retain more information about Him through His creation. She pleaded with God to move this personal mountain out of her way. He healed her miraculously and introduced her to the next part of her journey. Selah purposes to collaborate with Elohim (Creator) using a multimedia, multisensory approach to do three things: enrich the study of His Word, enhance the worship of His Person, and encourage creatives for His purposes. Selah is an artist, creative director, singer, speaker, and writer who volunteers her time in these areas as a living offering to Him.

From Nearly Blind to New Vision
Selah shares her personal testimony about how God began to heal a retinal disease which threatened her sight. Through this miraculous experience, God moved Selah from human perception into a heavenly perspective, and gave her the vision for an ancient-yet-new approach to strengthen our walk with Elohim, our Creator. She compares her own journey to the challenges we all face, and encourages the audience to pursue God's calling on their lives.

 
The History and Adventure of Sensory Experience
Selah explores the origin of creativity and the senses from a Biblical perspective. Why did God create us as sensory beings and fill the galaxies with creativity? Selah shares some basic ideas to try in the form of the written word, art, and group activities to help encourage creatives to trust Elohim, collaborate with Him, and let Him fan their creative spark into an exciting flame.

 
 
“Selah always conducted herself with grace, poise and professionalism. I found her to be creative and willing to tackle large projects. She got the job done with grace and results.“ -Rev. Dana Bryan, Senior Pastor, Center City Chapel
