Crystals & More: A Trilogy of Art

by John Rutherford

A Trilogy of ArtI met Mimi Sandeva, a great and unique artist one day in her shop on the beautiful island of Kos, Greece. She showed me her original art, and I was immediately inspired by her artistry. There is always a story behind her masterful art, creativity and originality personified. Those of you who own her original paintings are very fortunate.

Her stories behind the painting inspired my Greek Mythological short stories, which are now linked, and now available for your reading pleasure.

It truly brings the painting, the healing crystals, and the story together. It is no coincidence that the stories and based on the region, the mesmerizing Greek Islands, with their ancient history. The trilogy of artifacts represents the air, the land, and the colours of the surrounding islands and seas, caught in the paintings, captured in the prose, creating the optimum healing power in the crystals.

This truly is a unique and interesting gift package, and Mimi and I hope the recipient will be empowered, regenerated, and find peace.

About the author

It has always been a passion of mine to write. This is the right time in my life to sit down and pick up the pen. After years of traveling like a gypsy around this beautiful planet we all have the privilege to experience each day, I started to write down, children’s stories, mythical stories, stories that are inspired by poems, Chicken Soup stories, and stories from my adventurous past. It’s time in my life to be creative, and to use my imagination. I hope you find some pleasure in my scribblings, and dear readers, thank you for your time. Kindly provide your feedback. With the first step taken, like a lot of my life, I don’t have any idea where the journey will take me.
