Artist Statement: As a photographer I am drawn to color, light, movement, patterns and reflections that occur in nature. I am a visual spatial person who naturally sees what is before my eyes within a frame. Throughout my life I have been inspired by art and nature, each in their many forms. Photography a marvelous medium for me as multimedia artist, writer and photographer, as it provides an instant gratification of creating something tangible that I can share with others. I hope you find inspiration in my work, and invest in my artistic vision. With gratitude… Pamela Leavey

Daily Affirmations: I Release the Stress and Pain

In recent weeks I have been working on the things I carry around with me that I need to release. I struggle with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia, along with Osteoarthritis. Add in General Anxiety Disorder, and you’ve got a sometimes debilitating mix of fatigue, stress, and pain. Two weeks ago, I started repeating a daily mantra to release the emotional aspect of health issues wearing me down. Our emotions play a big role in our health. When we can release our emotions that are affecting us, it makes a huge difference in the way we feel. I hope this simple affirmations helps others as it has helped me…

“Today, I release the stress and pain I am carrying. When stress and pain arise in my day, I take a moment to acknowledge what I am feeling and release it. With a deep breath in, on my exhale I let it go. Each time throughout the day that I release the stress and pain I am carrying, the burden becomes a little lighter.” – Pamela Leavey

Our intent can be very powerful when we put it to work… Intent makes manifest.

Snowy Owls Are Back At the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge

snowy owl on a haystackSnowy Owls are back for the winter at the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge on Plum Island in the coastal Newburyport, Massachusetts area. I haven’t had the pleasure of seeing my first Snowy Owl the year yet this season, but starting next week when I am finished with my Fall 2014 classes at UMass Amherst’s UWW, I’ll be heading to the Refuge in search of these majestic beauties. Nothing spells rest and relaxation for me more than time outdoors in every season, enjoying the diverse wildlife at my beloved Refuge.

The photo above was taken at the Newbury Salt Marsh, just outside of the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge, in December 2013. (more…)

Food For Thought: Life’s Callings

“There are many callings in this life and we can answer them all, or we can choose to ignore them. When we ignore them we lose the possibility of expanding who we are and why we are here.” – Pamela Leavey

Food For Thought: Change Is Inevitable

Change is inevitable…

Each time I drive through the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge and cast my vision across the Salt Pannes, I see a new and different landscape that changes from day to day, week to week, month to month, as our lives do.

In truth, nothing should stay the same, for it did, we would be stuck in one place, one moment in time and we would never grow or learn or experience the wonders of life.

Nature is my grounding zone that subtlely reminds me of who I am and where I am going.

Food For Thought: Paths, Trails, Roads

Trail at Hellcat Swamp - c. Pamela J. Leavey
Trail at Hellcat Swamp – c. Pamela J. Leavey

Life is a series of paths, trails and roads. A small path takes you to a larger trail… You follow along that trail in contemplation and then you meet the road. The road moves faster than the path or trail. On the road, you take action, you sometimes need to think quickly. Traveling on the road takes a different type of self participation. Sometimes you feel that you have traveled a road far enough and you need to get off that road. That is okay, because you can always start again at a new path. – Pamela J. Leavey
