A SEASON OF NONVIOLENCE ... A TIME TO HEAL
A Fine Art Exhibit of Workers of Peace
throughout the generations
(click on photo for a larger view)

In 1996 Yvonne felt a deep desire to use her artistic talent to promote her inner desire for peace among those whose lives came in contact with her world.  She worked on and prepared a Fine Art exhibit for nearly two years when an international program was promoted world wide to honor the lives of Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr..  Yvonne's own desires had already encompassed the two honorees as well as 6 other workers of peace, so she contacted the sponsoring organization and became a part of the global thrust in 1998.  Yvonne researched and wrote a booklet entitled "Proponents of Peace" that was available during the exhibits to those who wished to further their understanding and knowledge of the lives of those who dedicated their all to peace and the love of mankind universal.  "Proponents of Peace" was exhibited in Dothan, AL;  Selma, AL;  Montgomery, AL;  Prattville, AL; and Thomaston, GA in 1998 and 1999. 

"Mahatma Gandhi"
 
"Select your purpose,
selfless, without any thought
of personal pleasure
or profit and then use
selfless means to attain
your goal."

"Mother Theresa"
 
In her own eyes she was
"God's pencil -
a tiny bit of pencil
with which He
writes what he likes."

Deep in the heart of every man
is the desire to love.
When this tiny seed is ignited
by the all-consuming
Spirit of God,
Man is overtaken with the
ability to give that love...
One soul ignites
another and another
until goodovercomes evil
and non-violence becomes
the walk of all creation. 
Then true freedom will reign
and Peace will
envelope the earth.
