I discover myself through writing. As I'm usually not at all sure what I’m going to say, I simply try to listen. As long as I’m completely honest, giving myself freedom to use the words as they come to me, I’m happy as a lark.
ART BOOKS
Musicians and Other Angels
Simply put,
music awakens the soul and inspires the creative being.
Listening to powerful, passionate jazz in night clubs, where I can’t usually dance around,
I often allow the rhythmic energy to flow through the fingertips of my heart onto a blank white page in the ever-present sketch book.

Other Angels
With or without wings,
angels pop up in our ordinary lives where we least expect to see them.
Not the sugary, stained-glass visions of perfection,
but other angels who are more easily relatable
like everyday people— or even like parts of ourselves.

A SELF-DIRECTED SPIRITUAL LIFE
"Resurrecting Bunny" is quite an unusual audio recording, because the voice of the author/narrator, Georgann Low (aka Bunny), is so authentic and true. Once I started listening to it, I didn’t want to stop.
Some of the stories had a heaviness to them, but they were told with a light, gilded touch, as if Low were walking through and remembering them by tracing her fingertips over them, which did not diminish the pain or beauty but converted them both to art. Her stories, it seemed to me, were all perfectly chosen to move the narrative along its arc, just as her life choices had moved her along her spiritual path.
As a woman who is probably close in age to the author, I resonated with her past and recalled my own stories. I laughed out loud several times, felt occasionally teary, and kept hearing myself say, “Right on…” I love what she has brought to her Christian mysticism, and it reminded me of Christ himself, who had no dogma and taught only to love, forgive, and refrain from judgment.
I also felt like she spent just the right amount of time on each subject she decided to write about. I was left wanting, but not needing, to know more—like when you’ve been served a good meal or listened to fine music. In fact, I almost felt like her intention was to sing her story (she is a jazz singer, after all), and she did it through her very own brand of spoken word, complete with an occasional sigh or chuckle. No polished narrator practicing her schtick, Low’s narration was as worth listening to as the story itself. And she has a way of making you feel like she’s aware of your presence.
Resurrecting Bunny: A Wild Child's Pilgrimage is a creative memoir--a warm greeting to the world. It is a bright jewel offered to anyone seeking a way to evolve gracefully and with passion and humor. An added gift is the imaginative, whimsical art which tells the story in full color.
In a tale of East meets West, Georgann Low, who is steeped in Eastern religions, offers a unique approach to Christianity and non-religious spirituality. Healing solitude (which is beyond loneliness), conscious aging, and self-realization are themes that flow through the pages in a refreshing, authentic voice. Accompanied by Low's expressive, flowing artwork, Resurrecting Bunny describes a journey of transformation through inner experience beyond any religious dogma.
Low believes that to experience wholeness/holiness in one's essence is the birthright of every human being. It is to be found in one's heart.
This is truly a life-changing little book and also, quite simply, a fun read, full of inspiring and juicy tidbits from Low's incredible life. Through sometimes hilarious experiences, in its heart, this story carries a message of hope.
A long-time Yogi, Low is also grounded in Christian contemplative mysticism and Jazz.

"Dancing Alone" is available in eBook and paperback:
Artist and jazz musician Georgann Low is a deeply-rooted Colorado native whose heart also abides in her home in France. Her life continues to be a dance toward wholeness.
It takes tremendous courage to fold up and put away an identity created for us by society and family. First, one must listen and respond to the inner stirrings of one's authentic self. They clamor so quietly, and it takes a listening heart to obey their urgings. Georgann Low listened with love and attention. Her journey began in Colorado- as daughter, wife and mother-then wound its way to the south of France, where she found her body through dance, her voice through singing and writing, and her heart through love. Questioning whether she might allow herself to love again, she asks the question, Could I have someone in my life and still speak to my silent world? Whether or not she chooses love, she has found herself through dancing alone.
