The Mystic Artist (Book) |
Through
the years since Sandy began writing this book, it has evolved from a book
about art into one about the artist's capacity as a kind of channel for
otherworldly entities, forces from other dimensions - a Higher Power, if you
will. This book is a study of the life force that surges in the great mystics
of all time - the Mystic Artists. From the elusive afterlife they communicate
truth forces. From the Great Beyond they influence and direct. |
The Mystic Artist by Sandra Frazier Out in Paperback |
|
Resurrection (CD) |
Sandy Frazier has spent a
lifetime writing and recording her original music. This CD is an album of songs inspired by her book The Mystic Artist. It is an unusual blend of modern
electronica, with trance-like qualities, combined with acoustic and electric
guitars... and lots of 'ear candy' to always keep the listener coming back
for more. "These are songs written by
a painter; and so the album is much like a series of collage-paintings
centered around the theme of water, with many colours, textures and unique
brushstrokes," says Sandy.
"It's as though I was literally painting music." |

Maurice Maeterlinck |
The great Belgian poet and
mystic dramatist who inspired so much of Sandy's art, music and writings. |
Maeterlinck's books are rare and
enchanting. You'll be especially inspired by The Blue Bird
and The Treasure of
the Humble. GO HERE to see Sandy's painting, "In the Palace of the
Night," From Maurice Tourneur's silent film of the famous Maeterlinck
play, The Blue Bird
(1918), which also inspired Sandy's "The Awakening." And The Blue Bird drawing. GO HERE to see Sandy's painting, "St. Wandrille," of the
Abbey where Maeterlinck lived and staged performances of his plays. On this page, you'll find many songs Sandy wrote and recorded that were
inspired by the great Belgian mystic writer. |
|
Elvis Presley |
Elvis has always been a great
inspiration to Sandy - since her childhood.
He was the greatest performer ever to live... one of a kind, never to
be rivaled. |
Even after all these years,
Elvis is as popular as ever! Check
out: Elvis 30 #1 Hits. From Elvis in
Memphis is perhaps his greatest album. |
|
John Lennon & The Beatles |
Brilliant songbird - perhaps the
greatest inspiration to Sandy musically. "I loved his and Yoko's idea of
bagism and write about it in my own
book, The Mystic Artist." Read Sandy's Blog: What John Lennon
Meant by "Imagine" |

Woody Allen |

movies... or go to New York and marry Woody.
I can still hear Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue." |

comedy and has always been Sandy's favourite... from Chaplin to Carrey...

Collection - Vol. 1 · AbFab |

Bob Dylan |
"When I was a teenager
living in Chicago, I learned every Bob Dylan song I could and would sing them
at the open mike nights in the bars of Old Towne. All my friends from that time would remember the many nights we
sat up singing Like a Rolling Stone - every single verse." |

Baez's tribute to Bob Dylan, based on her classic song, Diamonds and Rust. Get the excellent Scorcese

songwriter when Laura passed away so young. One of Sandy's first works of art

An astoundingly original
poet. "My Dylan Thomas years

earth,' alongside the great harmony of being alive." |
One of her favorite books
is Selected Letters. |

Henri Matisse |
The original Fauve
(the wild beast). "I always knew there was a Fauve in me; and Matisse

Matisse by Hilary Spurling, a brilliant scholar. Second volume: Matisse the
Master : A Life of Henri Matisse: The Conquest of Colour: 1909-1954. See Sandy's "Vase and Fruit" (1901) after
Henri Matisse. Listen to Sandy's
song dedicated to Henri Matisse - The Blue Butterfly. |
|
Pablo Picasso |
The Mystery of
Picasso, a '50s documentary, was the inspiration Sandy needed
to liberate herself in order to become the artist she'd always wanted to be.
It was almost literally a day in the life of Picasso - the camera watching him
paint, draw and create through a transparent screen that makes the viewer
feel as if he or she is participating in the actual creation of his works. In
one scene, Picasso stated something about the "surprising truth at the
bottom of the well," which stuck with Sandy and she was able to build on
that concept to create her "Surrealistic
Spirit" series of paintings and drawings. |
Excellent biography and DVDs on
Picasso: · Magic, Sex,
Death (DVD) · The Mystery of
Picasso (DVD) |
|
Andy Warhol |
Warhol was
the consummate artist - constantly observing life around him, all the people,
moods, movies, fashion, events... creating works of art out of every minute
of his life... and loving every minute of it... so much more than 15 minutes. |

Diaries, which is a real page-turner, even at over 800 pages ·

Psychical Research - whose members are mystics Sandy has

also reputedly the largest secondhand bookshop in the U.S. More than two
million books on all subjects are stocked. Most - including a large but
unpredictable selection of best sellers - are sold at half the published
price or less. For rare and used
books, visit The Strand. |
