Steeped
in the Fires of Natural Wonder
Designs of spiral, ribbon and wave shapes in natural and
intentional materials have contemplative, restorative qualities. Rhythms
appear in shape, texture and placement, gining weight to resonance. Form
and function meld to provoke or elicit. Each of these elements play in

Dale
Bruder's Blog
In 2012 I returned to magazine writing. This phase begins with Tucson
Natural Awakening Magazine. My byline is on thirty two articles and I
authored five newsbriefs.
These days I have realized a friendlier voice in my writing. My writing is
informative, insightful and entertaining. I want my readers to know and understand
what is available, how is it possible and where they can experience it.
I've written articles and opinions for City Magazine (Edited
& Published by Chuck Bowden and Dick Vonier) in the '80", for Inside
Tucson Business when Sheila Storm served as editor in the mid 1990's.
When first finding my Tucson footing in the very early 80's I wrote for a
pre-Tucson Weekly publication Tucson Examiner. In Milwaukee,
Wisconsin I published regularly in CitySide between 1977
and 1980. My journalism in those days ranged from feature articles on artists,
editorials, regional informative to investigative/researched cover stories.
I first dipped into magazine writing in the early 70's when I found a friendly
editor in a weekly small town newspaper The Oceana County News
in Whitehall, Michigan.
I have two wordpress blogs, Coach
Bruder and Tao Time as well as publish
two newsletters periodically on both topics. See Newsletter Archives for a
collection. Subscriptions are available at no cost at my website dalebruder.com.
Enjoy the Artist Spotlights.

Crystal
Sound Healing
How do we explain
the haunting, penetrating tones of crystal singing bowls? With their pure
tone frequencies and the innate transformative properties of crystal itself,
it is no wonder we lack the words to describe the experience. The droning
tones seem to awaken a deep remembering, touching the very essence of our
higher and lighter nature. (more)
An
Artist’s Intuitive Way
Artist Jeanne Fellow
says, “I work in an intuitive way now, even though I have an art education,”
while sitting amid walls filled with lighted sconces. “I started out doing
a lot of technical pen and ink illustrations and could copy things very well,
leading me to think I didn’t have any real art inside.” Then something
happened. “Colors began to speak to me”

Whimsical
Realism

taking pictures." This moment starter McCown on a (more)

and is on the brink of embracing a new artistic phase. (more)

Eye
of the Storm
A deteriorated downtown, vacated by commerce, abandoned by political will,
ripe for artists to take over. Reads like a tag line for an '80's the-kids-are-alright

was devoted to urbanizing the valley from mountain range to mountain range.
