Sally McKirgan: A natiive of Puget Sound, grew up aware of unexplained mysteries, that are expressed through essays, poetry and paintings. A long time student of ‘A Course In Miracles’ her writing revels how to live in the world yet not be of it. Choosing not to be the ego’s slave but asking for Truth’s guidance to peace and freedom.
Her lifelong desire to be an artist led her to study at the University of Washington and the Academy of Art, San Francisco. She studied painting with Jade Fon, Charlotte Britton, George Post, Gerald Brommer and Miles Batt. Her painting “Eland” was included in the book “The Artist’s Design” by Marie MacDonnell Roberts. She is a former member of San Francisco Women Artists, East Bay Watercolor Society and Oakland Art Association. She had one woman shows in San Francisco, CA., and Naples Florida. Her paintings are in private collections in the United States and the Soviet Union. Her paintings can be viewed in color at the Fine Art America website https://Sally-McKirgan.pixels.com.
As a student of A Course In Miracles, the Course influenced her writing and artistic vision with concepts of world peace and the shared identity of the One Self. Her painting “One Family, One Planet, One People” incorporates symbols of the world’s many faiths that have arisen from the Source of LOVE they share And her painting, “Three Major Religions” places their symbols hanging together in space peacefully as Christmas Ornaments.
