Inspiration:
The inspiration for Unicorn Dream was developed from the final scene from a children’s story I am writing called Mariah’s Magic Quest. Woven throughout the book are images of my fantasy themed art mosaics; fairies, mermaids, castles, dragons, and the unicorn, along with beautiful illustrations created by my talented sister. Included in this particular piece of art are messages from the story which emanates powerful energy and magic. An important silver medallion is located on the art which is a significant piece in the end of the story. Another unique feature with this mosaic is it can be viewed after the lights are turned off. The entire night sky and moon glow in the dark, excluding the black silhouette of the girl and unicorn. Absolutely magical! I am very excited about the inclusion of my art pieces into this insightful children’s story, and how Unicorn Dream contains words and visual clues from the story, unifying them together. We are looking forward to the completed book project!
“As if a moment in time stood still; this ethereal beauty standing before me. Dreamlike, but I am not dreaming! I feel the energy, my body is light. My mind is clear, my heart and soul are open. The child within me knows the truth; will my adult mind allow the magic to carry with me? Others will grow old, as days pass them by, living in a stale, colorless world with eyes half open. Long forgotten the magic and fantasy of childhood. First we have to believe, and then we believe!” –unknown
