Peggy's art is generated out of the site of her home studio at Portuguese Bend in Rancho Palos Verdes, California where she has resided since 1996. Her practice has incorporated sculpture, mixed media, drawing, painting, and assemblage across figuration and abstraction. Peggy's body of work utilizes equestrian and architectural motifs as embodiments of memory and lived experience. Peggy has had regular exhibits at Art galleries throughout Los Angeles and internationally in South Korea, Thailand, and Japan. She has been founder, curator and director for several nonprofit art galleries in Los Angeles.The artist also addresses the land movement upheaval where she lives. Her home is adjacent to a nature preserve that is part of an ancient landslide. Overlooking the Pacific Ocean, it is a haven for nature and wildlife and a crisis of broken land. Her work often explores the dichotomy between the broken and the flourishing.The breakdown is where she feels compelled to begin and explore.LINKS to ReviewsIntroducing the artwork of Peggy Sivert, an artist compelled to find meaning of ‘in the broken', through her workPeggy Nichols, Gallery C, Nov. 10, 2024Tijuana Triennial – Exciting International Art Just Across the Border, DiversionsLA review, Jan. 15, 2025~ ‘The Horses' poem: ~https://allpoetry.com/poem/8496359-The-Horses-by-Edwin-MuirWebsite:https://peggysivert.com/

On the glamorous stage of Shanghai Fashion Week, a new visual storm from the mysterious designer Shunying is about to arrive.Zh: 东方的旭日初照破晓，打在陆家嘴的高楼，折射出一道道炫目的金光。当阳光越过东海滩，落在一座时装轩峰大楼上，便昭告天下，上海时装周驾临。那大楼内，是上海时装周的祭坛。En: The oriental sunrise breaks through the dawn, casting dazzling golden rays onto the tall buildings of Lujiazui. When the sunlight crosses over the East Sea Beach and falls upon the Fashion House Peak building, it announces to the world that Shanghai Fashion Week has arrived. Inside that building is the altar of Shanghai Fashion Week.Zh: 那天，三位主人公完备就绪。前方，是名叫李伟的年轻设计师。他深情地打量着舜英的新作。他的眼神里充满了羡慕和崇拜。En: On that day, the three protagonists were ready. In front, there was a young designer named Li Wei. He gazed affectionately at Shunying's new creations, his eyes filled with admiration and worship.Zh: 侧边，王静凝视着舞台。她是舜英的助理，也是陈雷的女朋友。身边，则陈雷站在那里，他是一个杰出的会计师，但对时尚一无所知，只是为了陪伴所爱的女人，勉强挤进这个熙攘的人海。En: On the side, Wang Jing stared at the stage. She was Shunying's assistant and Chen Lei's girlfriend. Chen Lei stood by her side, an outstanding accountant who knew nothing about fashion. He reluctantly squeezed into the bustling crowd just to accompany the woman he loved.Zh: 灯光熄灭，音乐起。模特们穿着舜英的作品，潇洒走在T台上，披风在灯光下闪烁着丝丝光泽，那是由天然面料制成的服装，赞美着大地的恩赐。象征着天、地、水、火、风等元素的服装，在观众中引起轰动，激发了回归自然的向往。En: The lights dimmed, and the music started. Models wore Shunying's works, striding gracefully on the catwalk. Their capes shimmered with a subtle luster under the lights, garments made from natural fabrics that praised the gifts of the earth. The clothing, symbolizing elements such as heaven, earth, water, fire, and wind, caused a sensation among the audience, evoking a longing to return to nature.Zh: 李伟惊叹不已，对舜英的服装欣赏之情溢于言表。王静也为辛苦付出的回报感到高兴，陈雷虽不懂时装，却因女友的快乐而快乐。所有人都在欣赏舜英的服装，那些全然天然的面料和设计理念吸引了所有人的目光。En: Li Wei was in awe, unable to contain his appreciation for Shunying's clothing. Wang Jing was delighted to see the rewards of their hard work, and although Chen Lei knew nothing about fashion, he found joy in his girlfriend's happiness. Everyone admired Shunying's clothing, their attention captured by the entirely natural fabrics and design concepts.Zh: 然而，在人们的喝彩声中，有一股复杂的情绪在密布。李伟为自己无法达到那种理念而自责。王静为自己能参与这样的项目感到兴奋。陈雷则在喊叫中在想，自己是否应该支持女友的事业。En: However, amidst the applause, there was a complex undercurrent of emotions. Li Wei blamed himself for not being able to reach such design ideals. Wang Jing felt excited to be a part of such a project. Chen Lei, amidst the cheers, wondered whether he should support his girlfriend's career.Zh: 最后，舜英的服装系列得到了无比的赞美和广泛的认可，李伟走上了追求自然主义设计的道路，王静坚定了自己的信念，而陈雷，也开始尝试理解和欣赏这个他曾经全无所知的领域。En: In the end, Shunying's collection received immense praise and widespread recognition. Li Wei embarked on the path of pursuing naturalistic design, Wang Jing held firm to her beliefs, and Chen Lei began to try to understand and appreciate this previously unknown field.Zh: 故事温馨而让人深思，无论做什么决定，爱是那条引领我们继续前行的轨道。人们对舜英的天然设计理念热烈响应，这深深表达了人们对回归自然，珍爱地球的愿望。En: The story is heartwarming and thought-provoking. Regardless of the decisions made, love is the guiding track that leads us forward. People responded enthusiastically to Shunying's natural design concept, deeply expressing their desire to return to nature and cherish the Earth.

In this episode I talk to Dan DeLion about foraging and herbal medicine. We learn about his desire to learn and teach primitive skills that by many are long forgotten.

Our Creative Being Episode of February, dedicated to the storytelling of Love & Erotism, features a special guest, who, starting from his last name, perfectly gives voice to the themes of the month -- Fine Art and Portrait Photographer Steven 'Love' Menendez https://stevenmenendez.com/ - Our Editor in Chief Tommaso Cartia interviews the NYC based artist, who with his stunningly beautiful nudes explores alchemical territories where bodies, souls and nature melt into one, in sanctimonious unison. The inspiring conversation covers also Menendez's activism and political commitment, specifically within New York's gay community, and how his art wishes to inspire also the young generations to find a center, a wholeness, and a healthier balance between their bodies and their souls. Ready, set, imagine... and fall in love with Steven!

My guest for this episode is Dan De Lion, a forager, teacher, and permaculture practitioner from New Jersey who runs the excellent website ReturnToNature.us. During our conversation today Dan and I discuss the intersection between foraging and gardening, cultivated foods and wild human nutrition, and how we can bring about a slow revolution by trading our time and money for our well-being and that of our community in a way that starves the more destructive elements of our culture of the nutrients it needs. That sounds like a lot to cover, and it is, but the pace is a steady and even one thanks to Dan's measured and thoughtful consideration of each point that we cover. You can find out more about Dan and his work at ReturnToNature.us. Check out his schedule of upcoming classes and if you get a chance, consider taking one. One of the points that stuck with me from this conversation is that we are all still members of the natural world, even as much as we feel separated from it at times. We can use foraging and permaculture to reconnect to natural systems and cycles by shifting our time and energy away from commercial production and consumer anesthetics to nourishing traditions of food and community. Along the way we can foster relationships with plants so that as much as we use them, they use us to scatter seed and disturb soil. As we improve our understanding of the natural world, by building up our mental database of plants, including their uses, we foster knowledge and ethics that allow us to move more intentionally through our actions which encourages ever slower and smaller solutions. As I mentioned during the interview, permaculture and the change necessary to make a lasting difference will take lifetimes and be delivered upon the generations we will never meet, but we must begin today if we haven't already. I'll be reposting Matt Winter's The Gift for release this Saturday, March 7 for folks to listen, as a reminder of the get rich slowly approach we should have when making design choices, including what it is we will put into our bodies as food or medicine.
