One World, One Heart 2011

Welcome Welcome Welcome!!! I just now found out (from fellow blogger Carola Bartz ) about the  One World One Heart event where artists, photographers, kindred spirits can all participate!!! What an amazing opportunity to meet like minded souls from every corner of the world! It is a "bloghop" created by Lisa Swifka and I am sooo happy to join in!
                                  Photobucket
                                     
My name is Soraya and I am a mixed media artist, wife, mamma, storyteller, photographer, creative soul, blogger. I adore my hubby and baby girl ...and love painting, creating, dreaming. Through my art I tell stories of the deepest parts of ourSELVES...our fragile and vulnerable pieces, our beauty and possibility, our fears and hopes. I deeply deeply believe that it is in the honest sharing of our stories, of ourSELVES that we grow and blossom and, therefore, inspire others to do the same.  I am passionate and joyful of the life I find myself living...sometimes I have to just pinch myself ! What...I get to create and be there for my family?
I am of Indian descent, was born in South Africa, moved to Canada when I was 12 and currently live in the U.S!!! I love meeting creative souls from all over the world...and feel at home, well... just about anywhere!
My "doorprize giveaway" is this tote right here, 100% cotton, sturdy and very versatile. I use mine all the time!

It is based on one of my paintings ...it reads "FAITH"

                                                                           (Faith tote)
I will mail it to anyone, anywhere in the world...all you have to do is leave comment and some way for me to contact you should you win. The winner will be announced on Feb 17-right here. I think I will get Tara to pick out the name!
* According to the rules, you must be an active blogger to participate! So...you don't have to be participating in this particular event, you just have to have a blog!
There are so many amazing participants for this event...so consider joining or go right here to discover these amazing blogs!

What a beautiful tote. I really like the style of your Art work. I've been corresponding with a young man from Kerala and this past Saturday we were able to skype. I was able to say hello to this sister and his mom. They don't have a web cam just yet but it was so cool to speak with them after two years of writing. And so it goes with OWOH. Meeting new people with all different background. Hope you are enjoying the event!

azviatx said...

Soraya,
I believe you must be the epitome of "global woman". To have such a rich and diverse life is the basis for creativity. You will always have the experiences in which to draw from. You'll never be bored or have "canvas" block! I love the sketches of the doorknobs in your sketchbook post. Beautiful. I am fascinated with doors/windows/portals. I always use my totes to shop and I would love to fill your tote offering with my daily elements! I hope this event allows you to meet some wonderful new people, find great art to ogle and maybe, win a gift or two for yourself. Tina
