This is a watercolor painting on 300lb. paper, 10" x 14" titled "Heliconia Rostrada" by Karen Frimmel... I find so much peace and inspiration at Selby Gardens.

Leper Beauty (Acrylic on cardboard, 12 x 20 inches)

In 1999, I painted this portrait as part of a hands-on healing project at a Leper Community in Bali, Indonesia. Although the left-hand side of the 23-year old subject had been ravaged by leprosy since birth, her right-hand side remained unaffected. The painitng captures the remarkable subtleness of beauty on her unmarred side. Miraculously, within 3 months following the completion of the painting, the girl experienced a total reversal of her condition. Research indicates that certain Caucasians possess a body chemical that potentially alters various forms of leprosy. Perhaps this chemical in my body was responsible for this miracle.

Metropolis 2012 (Mixed media, 15 x 15 x 15 inches)

This city complex design depicts a first-of-its kind, self-sustainable, 1-mile square, eco-architectural urban model that uses solar energy, vertical farming and self-contained water purification to feed, house and support a healthy and productive population of 1,444,000 on-site residents. Coupling architectural concepts from Pablo Solari with technologies that have been independently researched by Marshal T. Savage as well as Jacques Fresco, the construction of this innovative, self-contained master metropolis -- when properly engineered, fabricated and installed -- will present a threshold opportunity in cutting edge, eco-friendly solutions for global food, housing, energy, commerce and agriculture while maintaining environmental integrity.

This painting has long been my favorite. In putting attention on a genuine sense of the leper girl's attractiveness, it is my opinion that Jack's depiction may have allowed the girl a glimpse of her own beauty for, perhaps, the first time in her life. On the psycho-spiritual dimension that links body, mind and heart, this viewpoint of a fresh self-perception may well be what aided the girl in mustering the courage and confidence to heal. It's a touching story and an equally lovely painting. It truly has all the hallmarks of a masterpiece.

Oops! My error! Please remove the photo of "Metropolis 2012" as I mistaken submitted TWO pieces of artwork rather than one, and I would like the entry for "Leper Beauty" to stay. Thanks.
