A Visit with an incredible person about Peace

Yesterday I had an incredible experience. This was a first for me! I was on contact radio talking with Dawn Stansfield. She is a wonderful woman and I encourage you to go in and see the kind of work she does to help others.

"It's a New Day" with Dawn Stansfield, Contact Talk Radio

Dawn and I go way back. Years ago I was one of her artists in her gallery/healing center.
What a joy it was to connect with her again and share the information about my Peace Prevails Project. The universe can sometimes move fast. Phase II of the project is beginning to take some shape.

I would love to hear from you about your thoughts of peace. Listen in to the interview here and let me know what you think about the Peace Prevails Global Art Project.

This is the interview. Please listen and come back to the blog and make a comment. Thank you, Catherine

Catherine Foster Weaving Peace Through Art: Peace Prevails “Gloria” the Peace Maiden- a Peacemaker for the Earth

For Art Sake

Peace Prevails “Gloria” the Peace Maiden- a Peacemaker for the Earth

My dear Friend Sheryl Allen wrote these little notes about “Gloria” months ago when I first mentioned wanting to create a Peace Warrior.


The Peacemaker
By Sheryl Allen


For thousands of years the masculine warrior energy of force and strength dominated Earth. The feminine qualities of unity and love were thought to be a weakness to be conquered and controlled. Now, this feminine essence is a sleeping giantess awakening in men and women, urging us toward global peace and community leaving war and separation behind.

Weapons of war are forged from metal. To transmute this energy, the Peacemaker wears an iridescent robe of yielding, woven metal embossed with words of peace from languages around the world. The radiant robe symbolizes the light within each of us. It’s tempered yielding strength reminds us to allow love to prevail. Each of the separate pieces is woven together creating one garment of wholeness.


Peace is not just the absence of conflict. True peace is the result of a desire for unity. Peace comes from within and if we are to bring peace to our planet, it begins inside each of us individually. Our true divine nature is peace, love and joy. When we acknowledge and accept all aspects of ourselves and others with love and understanding…peace prevails.


The Peacemaker is symbolic of the possibility of peace within each of our hearts. Cloaked in a robe symbolizing the power of peace, this feminine essence of unity, harmony and love is a reminder of each individual’s power to create peace within themselves…allowing peace on earth to prevail.

PS from Sheryl- I like the term ‘maker’ as it refers to the divine creator to me।

**************What is your view of Peace? How would you describe “Gloria” and what she stands for in Peace?

Please comment on “Gloria” and what stirs inside of you. Can peace ever be achieved? Do you feel an inner peace and how do you maintain that in your life?

Thank you, Catherine Foster

The Peace Goddess/warrior is nearing completion

It gets very exciting near the end of an art project. "Gloria" is almost finished. Everyone who comes to the opening will not only receive a small gift from me, but will be able to take a present with them from "Gloria".

In the last blog I mentioned the Raffle for one of my Peace Weavings. Please share the link with others to help. Many charities are hurting right now and can use your help. For only $5 you can purchase a raffle ticket. I love to give and give all year long, but the holiday season just makes it more special.

Here's to another fun filled day in my studio.
Sincerely Catherine
