ARTIST BIO
Anastasia Ealy has been a New Mexico artist since 1984. She was raised with the love of the Rocky Mountain west, ranching, horses, farm animals, gardening and mountains. Many summer times were spent on the Nebraska family ranch. Her mother was a Creole from New Orleans, Louisiana, of original French and Portuguese-Spanish-Sephardic-Jew, early 1700's Colonial ancestry. This Spanish heritage, and having lived and painted in Calpe, Spain during the 1970�s also gives Anastasia a strong affinity to Northern New Mexico�s Colonial heritage, and love for it�s people and landscapes. The Hebrew part of Anastasia's heritage has contributed to a huge love for Israel, and all its people, and Holy mountains and landscapes. As a true mystic, Her awe and wonder of all creation, and Creator expresses itself with a heart to worship in Joy, Spirit, and truth in freedom in dancing, music, poetry, creative writing which are often incorporated into public, personalized, and prophetic art; sometimes called 'Destiny Drawing.' She finds great joy in teaching children and adults how to enjoy more of this freedom in drawing and painting.
Besides being photographer, writer and poet who often utilizes verses with her paintings, she lives ranch time as a 'Renaissance Horsewoman' raising Spanish-Andalusian heirloom and American Mustang cross horses, taming, training and teaching a form of 'Dances With Horses,' a self distilled form of compassionate progressive horsemanship. Anastasia has been a wild horse protection activist for the La Jarita herd near Vallecitos, NM. These horses in western wild places are often subjects of her art.
Anastasia is also deeply involved in the Healing Arts utilizing color and what she calls: �Creation Image and Color Therapy� in her paintings, and also as a registered nurse, practicing Home Health Care, who is currently working on her doctorate in Natural and Alternative Medicine.
Anastasia has been selling her oil paintings and occasional murals since 1974. Her love affair with photographing; and painting mountains and related themes has led her beyond the Rockies, to horseback travels through the mountains of Spain, burro trekking and drawing �pliene air� through the Andes of Peru, hiking the mountains and sailing to islands of Baja, Maine and Maui. More recently she has enjoyed vast inspirational vistas by riding and capturing enchanted moments with her gaucho friends of the Pampas, south of Buenas Aires and then to the Andes of Patagonia, Argentina, and most recently the most Holy mountains, landscapes and sea shores of Israel.
Anastasia�s deep love of the Rocky Mountain�s high country beauty, and wildness has drawn her to spend her living time, between her Sangre de Cristo Ranch, in El Valle, northern New Mexico, and 'Missions Project International,' at a multifaceted rural Andean Mission compound in 'Anka Wasi'-House of the Eagles, Compone, in the Cuzco Valley of Peru. She is looking ahead towards future horseback, or even camel back when necessary, holistic health missions trips and photo/painting expeditions through the mountains of western Mongolia, and back to Israel.
Anastasia�s art has been enjoyed at the Sacajawea Gallery in Stevensville, Montana, and on their website. Her art has been shown at the 07 Bitterroot Birding And Nature Festival Stevensville Montana, Anastasia was the October 07 featured artist/photographer at the Dixon Library, Dixon New Mexico, and now has her art showing at the High Road Market-Gallery; Truchas, NM, and on her ranch web site: www.sangredecristoministries.vpweb.com
Anastasia loves sharing what she loves with others on many levels: Beauty, emotions, personalities and sentiments shine through, captured moments, visions, and moods of Creation. Her sharing includes creating memories by God's Divine Guidance and leading around the world, with mystic and supernatural experiences that expand the adventures to 'Higher Realms' of Glory, then capturing them for others, and as a pilgrim, given layers of prophetic artistic inspirations, that continue to enrich through time. Her whole heart commitment is to celebrating life's Divinely Guided adventures as she paints and photographs what moves her spirit, while often enriching the images with poetry, prose or home brewed songs. Anastasia offers to you parts of her journeys for your enjoyment, and Divine inspiration.

Artist�s Statement:
�As an artist and photographer of the outdoors, with rather a feel for 'Naturalistic Impressionism.' Although sometimes I just want to capture the scene or person in a more realistic-stretching to even surrealistic technique. I am not in bondage to one painting 'style''or 'identity' as an artist. It's all fun now and I'll paint what I love and hjow I feel at the moment! I am impassioned by adventuring to remote and wild mountain places. I feel like a �mystic � of the wilderness. Often I am the only witness to fleeting moments of creation�s majesty; those �Divine appointments� in mountain cathedrals, I 'm lifting holy hands in worship with tambourine, flags, and sacred dance! As a healing arts professional, I know that all creation is healing. �All nature declares the Glory of God�� My �Mountain Meditations� and �Glimpses Of Glory� series are ever growing from being at the right places at the right instant, scenes which deeply touch my soul, at magical moments, that are like God blowing me a kiss! Or the sunset's warm golden light like a Holy hug from our Creator!
Sometimes I am inspired to �paint with words� and poetry and add them to my images. My love of sharing these �treasures of time� has progressed into my photo impressionistic art where it can mingle with my painting skills. I am having fun with all these tools of the trade, without sacrificing my free spirit and sense of wonder, as I go traipsing through the mountains on my Andalusian or mustang mare; with camera and reins in hand.
All my life and talents are dedicated to my Lord of all creation, and Savior, Yeshua- Jesus, who�s Holy and Joyful Spirit is alive and well in my heart; and Who enjoys sharing with others these wild places and enchanted moments that He leads me to. So I am never alone as I travel to 'rare and remote places.' is My heart's I desire to bring back beautiful jewels of those moments for the majority of people who will never get the chance to be there.
May all be blessed who enter these wonderful and sometimes wild places with me!�
Anastasia Savage Ealy
