All of the animals are wild and people friendly. The new exhibit will be shown at the Santa Monica Pier mid January through May. Many of the actual photographs are about 5 feet by 8 feet in size.

Morgan's Supreme Beings: the God and Goddess Project: Morgan has birthed a new pantheon of gods and goddesses depicted in 164 large watercolor paintings and clay sculptures - with new takes on the traditional gods (death, war, compassion) and new gods and goddess needed for today (superstring, helpful poisons, safe sex). "For me, life is multifaceted, paradoxical, amazing, astonishing.... as when I am with my cancer patients who create and laugh and cry in the face of death. There are many sides to our complex lives, and the gods can help us to see and to get perspective - or to just plain dance with it all."
—Artist Janet Morgan
The Art of Bellydance Paintings inspired by Morgan's study and performance of Middle Eastern Dance: "Janet Morgan's exotic and mystical art captures the intense passionate movement, spirituality, and grace of bellydance. We feel the dancer's longing for union with Divinity. Other works evoke a sense of serenity. To meditate on the undulating explosions of color and line inspires a gratitude for the mysterious Spirit behind her expressive work. I am honored to have been a subject for her brush."
—Jehan, dancer, composer and director of Goddessdance.
Sacred Landscape Inspired by inner and outer voyages: Morgan's travels have taken her to Europe, North and East Africa, North and South America and Central Asia. "The freedom in my landscape painting comes from a visceral depiction of motion and space, from the energies that are revealed by moving in the land and by experiencing it from inside the observer. This is very different from traditional landscape painting which was devised as a way for landowners to depict their real estate. Landscape is not a static idea, it is alive with natural forces, past and present, human impact, history, ritual and passion."
—Artist Janet Morgan

- As is the case for most professional reviewers, many of the books I review on this site have been provided by the publisher or author, at no cost to me. I've also reviewed books that I bought, because they were worthy of your time. And I've also received dozens of review copies at no charge that do not get reviewed, either because they are not worthy or because they don't meet the subject criteria for this column, or simply because I haven't gotten around to them yet, since I only review one book per month. I have far more books in my office than I will ever read, and the receipt of a free book does not affect my review.
