Samhain Stories
Myth, Magic and Memory – an invitation to nourish the heart and soul of imagination
Our stories are stirring
Whispers, memories from Halloweens long past
And hopes for this year,for now.
I'm gathering Halloween memories,
Weaving magic and memory into a series of artworks.
Let's weave them together.
Welcome to Samhain Stories
Samhain Stories is an art project inspired by your stories and traditions related to Samhain or Halloween. It’s an invitation for the quietly creative. Where myth, magic and memory nourish the heart and soul of imagination. It’s also the seed of a new art project. I’m gathering stories — memories, superstitions, and moments of joy — that will inspire a series of new artworks to be unveiled this October. Your contribution will breathe life into the glowing embers of this community of stories and art.
