After a few hours of wandering through the galleries
and shops in downtown Santa Fe, my eye caught these fantastic
bronzes
in a shop window. I wasn't really in the market for any art work, but
I couldn't resist taking a peak. After ooohing and
ahhhing over several
of Heidi's pieces, I found "Hope" and
fell immediately in love.
The day before, I had been painting (a healing hobby for me) and with
no plan in mind for what I wanted to create...out comes a
painting of
a beautiful angel with her arms upraised. I'd actually been thinking
quite a bit about the painting and how it made me
feel, when I stumbled
into the bronze version of my painting. I knew that whatever it took,
I needed to have "Hope" in my house
as an hourly reminder of
how much God loves me and actually has a plan for my life.
Today, as I passed "Hope" again, I knew I needed to write this
letter and let Heidi know how much her creativity has inspired
my life. Thank You Heidi,

Heidi's angels are miraculous. I am blessed
to have had Heidi create a "heart Path" angel for me. Heart
Path has truly worked
miracles in my life and others. Her beauty is beyond
simple words. Heidi's intention and her creation of each angel have the
essence of each individual brought into the particular angel she is working
on. Heart Path is alive in my heart and brings me much
joy. She is very
powerful. Heart Path holds compassion, strength, courage, forgiveness,
and happiness. Her presence among
difficult situations brings a peace
and serenity that has never been experienced before. For example, Heart
Path's presence when
my elderly mother recently had surgery on her tongue
for cancer was very instrumental in her recovery. Heart Path also provided
me the strength in assisting my mother in her recovery process. I brought
Heart Path with me to my mother's home to bring her
positive and healing
energy as my mother recovered from this very painful surgery. Heart Path's
spirit and love brought my mother
and me much comfort and strength during
this time period. She helped my mother during this difficult time and
as she healed from
her surgery, she would walk past Heart Path and give
Heart Path a kiss knowing that her presence helped her to be courageous
and
to recover even faster.
Heart Path's essence is continuing to help me
in my journey of self discovery and joy.
I recently acquired a second angel,
Metamorphosis. She will be gifted to my sister who is an Oncology Surgeon
that specializes in
breast cancer patients. She is planning on opening
a new center for her patients and has decided to call it" The Chrysalis" with
the intention of helping her patients know that breast cancer can have
a positive metamorphic change in one's life. ( I know this to
be true since
I had breast cancer and was diagnosed by my sister). The Metamorphosis
angel has a simple but powerful beauty with
a single butterfly that symbolizes
this transformation. My sister's's gentleness in caring for her cancer
patients with love and compassion will be symbolize through the angel of
Metamorphosis. I I know that the angel will help in healing of all the
cancer
patients that grace my sister new center.

Three of Heidi's angels have found a place in my home and have been
a personal blessing to my husband and me. My husband is
an avid art collector
and has collected many pieces over the years. Heidi's angels, however,
are unique. Rather than just another beautiful piece of artwork, these
are truly sacred art. They embody and hold the energy of spiritual and
healing ideals. Heidi Kujat's angels are a special work of sacred art
because from the beginning of their creation, which begins in the imagination
and heart,
to the finished piece, Heidi gives completely of herself to
understand and incorporate the principle she intends to illustrate with
her work. Each piece created holds a specific spiritual intention. She
works at a high spiritual level to infuse each piece with the energy
of a spiritual gift, ideal or intention, such as love, hope forgiveness,
etc. As a result, the pieces themselves reflect the energy and spiritual
work that she has invested in creation them. Because of this they add
a beautiful presence that is a blessing to anyone
that stops to enjoy
them and takes the time to listen to their message of hope, healing,
and love.

Lady Tamarac
It has been so fulfilling for me to see the impact this sculpture, now
named Lady Tamarac, has on the people who enter our spa.
The
spa is part of our new medical wellness facility named Tamarac. When
I first saw Heidi’s work I knew one of her angels
needed to be
in our facility. I watch people as they enter the spa and first
view her actually relax. They are pulled to her and most
feel the
need to touch her. Her intention in the spa is to ground the space
to help people center as they sit in our meditation area.
I have
entered the spa area to see people sitting at peace, captured by her
beauty. It has been one of the most inspirational
and rewarding
experiences of my career. Thank you Heidi for your gift of healing!

To view these sculptures is to become part of a sacred communion between
the artist as the Creator and God as the Creator.
That is the nature
of Sacred Art. Through the artist's vision, her unwaivering alignment
with God's Truth, each sculpture is refined
to a degree of purity that
is the God essence of the state depicted and the work is imbued with
the power of this process. Each
piece , each figure speaks a line in
a prayer to God, and then holds the supplication in the grace of it's
presesnce. And the figures
together turn to God in a prayer of Harmony
and Oneness, yet it is a prayer that has already been answered. The figures
transcend
the words of the prayer they speak for they also carry the
answer to the prayer as the response from God. There is a seeking and
a receiving already complete within them. They embody the flow of Divine
energy in this connecton with God and they draw the
viewer into this
connection and into this energy. To view the works, to receive what they
have to give is to be both inspired and
blessed ~to receive inspiration
from the works and to receive a blessing from God this is Sacred Art.
I am privileged to have
partaken of this Divine Prayer.

TRIUMPH
* a state of happiness, celebration, pride after a success
* a successful ending of a struggle or contest
* proven superior;
* to be ecstatic with joy
* to express great joy
So many definitions – such power – such joy
It has been a wonderful journey with Heidi. Over two years ago,
while visiting Santa Fe, I was flipping through the Santa Fe
Art Catalogue
and was drawn over and over again to Freedom – by Kujat. Normally
we sightsee and enjoy the scenery – yet
every night Freedom by
Kujat called to me. So out of character for me (and especially
for my husband if you got to know him)
I called the number for the Corazon
Gallery hoping that it was near by and we could just stop by the see
her work. First call I
had to leave a message, Heidi called
us back and we played telephone tag for at least a day. Finally
our last day in Santa Fe
we connected and Heidi made a special trip to
the gallery for us.
I felt awkward but the instant I met Heidi and walked into the gallery
there was an instant connection. Every piece she made spoke
to
me and displayed such grace, spirituality and serenity. I wanted them
all! Alas I left town empty handed with only pictures of
her creations
and her phone number.
Heidi and I stayed in touch. I guess we could tell that we were
both once wounded souls on the road to healing. We gave each
other
hope. Somehow to me, Heidi’s work embodies the experience
of having gotten through our many life trials – being on the
other
side of all that ailed us. I finally broke down and asked her to
design a piece for me. What a double gift for me… this
gave
us the excuse to talk regularly and for me to now live among her
beautiful creation TRIUMPH.
I had no ideas what I wanted other than Heidi’s creative spirit. She’d
ask me how I wanted her hair and I would respond how are
you seeing her.
There was not rush on either of our parts to get it done. We talked
about trees, what was going on with us, what
gifts I wanted in the future… you
name it. Triumph was a creation from an extremely talented individual – Heidi
Kujat. By leaving it
to the process I believe I got not only perfection
in bronze but also a large part of the spirit, grace and friendship that
makes up Heidi.
I’d like to think that my experience is the exception – but
I know all too well that Heidi shares her gift with many. I’ve
learned along
the way - to my amazement - that the tree goddesses do
not appeal to everyone. Some come looking for that perfect piece
that
matches the sofa or the wall coloring. Heidi’s work
matches our souls. So, if you see the gift, grab onto it because
Triumph to me
is truly a state of happiness, a celebration, great joy
and pride. She is regal and I can feel her energy every day and
she springs
from the roots of the earth reaching for the stars with such
force she cannot be denied.

"Pure Joy" ... To me, this amazing Tree Goddess sculpture
is the Earth Mother herself! She passionately expresses the pure joy
in
simply being. I AM LIFE is what she says to me.... I AM YOU! She encourages
me to feel and express my joy wholeheartedly.
I love to run my hands over feeling her shape and texture and study
different the brown, green and copper colours that give the
"gown" of
the tree such character. She has the most extravagant head of hair seems
to say DARE! Dare to be you true self! Dare to
live life fully!
The outstretched arms seem to say Reach out. Stretch yourself. Embrace
all that is. Live! Live!
Pure Joy is the centre piece in my jewellery and art gallery. Her commanding
presence draws many visitors. Thankyou Heidi for
sharing your wonderful
gift with us.
