"Red Diary, Black Book"

by Kathryn Henneman

SPOTLIGHT: BANKING ON ART

Partnership is a key business word, especially when business and art come together—literally business and pleasure. Why is a global financial organization like Northern Trust interested in visual art? Arizona Citizens for the Arts answers, “art works!” Art creates job opportunities in numerous fields such as design, graphics, advertising, galleries, performing art venues, and for the artists themselves.

An example of such partnership will happen between October and January when Northern Trust in Phoenix hosts a showing of abstract impressionist paintings by artist Kathryn Henneman. The theme of the show, “Red Diary, Black Books” centers on the 3 foot by 6 foot mixed media work on canvas titled “Red Diary.”

According to Henneman, Marilyn Monroe's red diary provided the inspiration for her to create the piece. "She led a very public life, and her only privacy was her diary. I know that she loved to read," Henneman said. "A 'red' diary is a contrast to 'black' books related to banking and business.  Red and black, private and public, fiction and nonfiction, art and business."

Harold Dorenbecher, Senior Vice President and Managing Executive , says, “Partnership between local artists and Northern Trust displays our commitment to the importance of visual art and allows each viewer to experience the personal emotion of viewing it. This program provides three exhibits each year featuring a new artist for each exhibit. The artists selected represent a broad range of styles, media and focus.”

Date:         Thursday, October 4, 2012
Time:         5-7 p.m.
Location:   2398 East Camelback Road
                  1st Floor - Bank Lobby
                  Phoenix, Arizona

Kindly RSVP by Thursday, September 27, to  602.468-2679 or RSVP-Inbox@ntrs.com

Val Vista Lakes Womens Club member wins 100 Candles

The Val Vista Lakes Women's Club had their Annual Welcome Back Dinner last Wednesday night at their beautiful clubhouse in Gilbert, Arizona.

The club's mission is to promote a positive environment for the women of the Val Vista Lakes Community, where they can participate in activities that build friendships and serve the needs of the community at large.

Kathryn was gracious enough to donate a print of her "100 Candles" which commemorates the 100 year birthday of the State of Arizona to the raffle that night.

Donna Gronemeyer was the lucky winner of the print!

"Allegorical Journey"
by Kathryn Henneman


"Common Bond"

The shadowed streaks of twilight slip silently away
And tuck behind the mountains to mark another day.
Now leaving just the night sounds to whisper and remind
Of magical trips and trusted friends, lost and left behind.

To a time when only dreams had the power to transcend
And bring us together, beyond the unrest, one by one as friends.
Kindred souls, sharing a moment, bound by love and freedom.
Moved by the words and music...we danced to a different drum.

Those days and nights are forever etched deep within my heart.
I see their faces, hear their voices, though so many years apart.
Their love and friendship, counsel and humor, are a part of what I say.
And nudge me now so gently with thoughts I write each day.

I wish I would have realized those many years ago
Our moment was just an instant in the lives we were to know.
I could have brushed a farewell kiss as I gazed into each face.
But one by one, we left not knowing we had shared our last embrace.

"Nautilus Forevermore III"

by Kathryn Henneman


"Depths of Matchless Recall"

The human mind…amazing…a truly magnificent creation.

Godly by design, with depths of matchless recall…a sensual saturation.

I can close my eyes, clear my mind of all the collective clutter.

Then let my weary soul lift up on wings that quietly flutter

Back through time so effortlessly to nearly forgotten places

To treasured friends and bittersweet lovers, now cherished, ageless faces.

Again we are caught up in time…youthful, wild and free.

Together we laugh, we dare, we love…unafraid to simply be.

It might have been just circumstance…the music, or just the time.

Whatever it was, it has become a most lovely memory of mine.

And sometimes, oh so quietly, that memory comes along

A certain sound, a smell, a touch…the words of a familiar song.

Then time dissolves, and there we are wrapped in youthful passion

Intense emotions, feelings so tender, embrace me with obsession.

In my youth I was a dreamer…imagination my best friend.

My mind could safely take me places and bring me back again.

Now all those places of my youth have become sweet memories.

I hold them close within my heart and cherish each one tenderly.

The human mind…amazing…a truly magnificent creation.

Godly by design, with depths of matchless recall…a sensual saturation.

“TAKE HEART”

by Kathryn Henneman

“ONE FINAL SEASON”  

by C.L. Gillmore

Lay me down and let your love wash gently over me.

Soothe me softly with that low, steady voice of reason.

Strip all the craziness away and let me just float free.

Heart to heart, soul to soul…if only for one final season.

You rocked me once in innocence with young, trembling hands,

And gave me a reason to trust again by making no demands.

Now let me sink slowly under your soul…warm, close and tight.

Hold me within your arms through this long, wondrous night.

You once said I saved you, but the truth is you saved me.

By waking me up from years on end of details and complacency.

You found that girl who once was filled with dreams and desires.

Gave her strength to strike the match that finally lit the fire.

So lay me down and let your love wash gently over me.

And soothe me softly with that low, steady voice of reason.

Strip all the craziness away and let me just float free.

Heart to heart, soul to soul…if only for one final season.

"Valley of the Sunflowers"
by Kathryn Henneman


"The Little Sunflowers"
by C.L. Gillmore

The Little Sunflowers grow toward the light,
And always with colors so brilliant and bright.
Some may be straight and some may be bent,
But each little flower is still heaven-sent.

The Little Sunflowers are delicate, yet strong
And can brave life’s storms as they come along.
They never give up, they continue to grow,
Giving to all seeds of inspiration to sow.

One Little Sunflower is unique and fine,
But a garden of Sunflowers is simply divine.
They show us their beauty, strength and grace.
They show us a glimpse of God’s heavenly face.

May we all grow as the Little Sunflowers do
Letting their strength and beauty renew
The goodness, the kindness and love in us all,
Whether we struggle, or stand perfectly tall.
--C L Gillmore, copyright 2011

"Beloved Most Imagine "

by Kathryn Henneman
48x60 mixed media on canvas


"Beautiful, Bell-Bottomed Boy"

Shirtless, bronzed, bell-bottomed boy,
Beautiful, young and lean.
Soft, silken, coffee-brown hair,
Wind-swept, wild and free.

Graceful, fluid, out-stretched arms,
Expressive, gentle hands.
Lovely, curved, sensuous hips
Legs strong, slender and tan.

Rocked by the gods of music and freedom,
Swaying in rhythmic jubilation,
High on life and love's sweet passion,
He danced for her in celebration.

One girl alone was hypnotized.
Her vision spanned over crowd faces
To link with his piercing blue eyes
And to put her own feet in his paces.

Gone are the days of the young summer sultan
And the girl who watched him with joy.
He dances forever within her heart
Beautiful, bell-bottomed boy.

Henneman Participates in The Intuition Project

KATHRYN AND MARILYN MONROE’S STORY

“To produce, to compose, to recall one’s own story of an ‘intuition’ siting has been challenging for me. Then in the wee hours of the morning a thought came to me, and I feel that by sharing this story will add to TIP, The Intuition Project.

Now imagine Marilyn Monroe writing and sending an email to Julianna Lyddon for her project, recounting her own personal intuition story.

This is a true story.

I was living in Los Angeles. It was 1981. A friend of mine, Barry L. Shifman was in the Border Bookstore in Westwood, California. He was observing a man who was looking at a book. The book was the extraordinary biography of Marilyn, by Norman Mailer. The two gentlemen struck up a conversation. My friend Barry was speaking with David Conover. The photographer who was credited with discovering Marilyn Monroe while taking photos for Yank Magazine. David had expressed a need to find someone in Los Angeles to help him with his research. The publisher Grosset & Dunlap had agreed to publish his book about Marilyn. Barry Shifman put me in contact with David Conover, and for the next year I did research for David.

David only called me twice, but in one of those conversations he shared something with me about Marilyn. He had received a phone call from Marilyn two weeks prior to her death. She had made the phone call from a phone booth in Malibu, California. David conveyed that she was very concerned and frightened, and felt that something was going on, and that if something should happen to her that she wanted David to be aware of what she was sensing.

Was this Marilyn’s ‘intuition?’ Let Marilyn’s story be a reminder to listen to, to trust, and to act on ‘your intuition.’

Our ‘intuition’ is a ‘gift’ and needs to be accepted.”
