Joanne Macko



Joanne Macko
Orange Portal
20"x 24"
Acrylic on canvas

These paintings are done by an artist name Joanne Macko, a friend of my mothers. Joanne is an internationally known artist, spiritual coach, and author. However, her real passion is to share her art in attempts to help others realize their own true gifts and meaning and purpose of life. I feel that these works connect into our discussion of translation in that they act as portals, engulfing us in the layers and light. 
Portals act as a way to see into the unseen world and as mirrors gazing back at us.
Translations are in a sense the unveiling of something that has gone through a transformation, just as portals offer the viewer a new view into themselves, which ultimately leads to a transformation in self.
