Description
Suffering Bodhisattva was an extremely emotional journey for me. One which is never completed, but moves along a continuum of life experiences. These experiences are a wonderfully chaotic and sometimes quite painful combination of womanhood, being chronically ill and my Buddhist inspired life philosophy. She is fully human, perfectly imperfect, quite unfinished and deeply Spiritual. Copyright Theresa Marie Johnson.

Stunning work Theresa! I love the texture and movement you created in this piece! Congratulations on your sale!
Theresa Marie Johnson replied:
Thank you Debbie! It was so crazy how it came to be. Old tissue paper and I had no idea where I was going with it. Those are the fun ones!

There are in my country few rules for shooting people as long as they are not posing for you. In that case you need permission...it sounds strange but luckily with my invisible cloak I have no problems here :-)))
Theresa Marie Johnson replied:
Ha! You must tell us where we can purchase such a cloak! It works extremely well for you!

Theresa Marie Johnson
As I guessed, he really appreciated your work as well. I'll pass the compliment on. We both really appreciate your eye for human expression. He loves to photograph people, but it's a mixed bag and hard to know what is ok to post. Very seldom do we get permission.

Thank you so much Eva. I'm new to FAA and it's been fun getting the comments. Very much appreciated!!

Eva, thank you so much. This was an incredibly emotional work for me. It was hard to sell the original, but it ended up in the office of a women who will be opening up her own private mental health practice. I believe she is specializing in women's issues, so it found a perfect home.

Send me a link to his work, would love to see it...
Theresa Marie Johnson replied:
Thanks Michel. He's also just starting to put stuff on FAA - although he's been doing photography for many years. You can find him if you search David Ralph Johnson - let him know I sent you! Little PR work for my sweetheart. He'll really enjoy looking at your work as well. Thanks again!!
