Her book, Wisdom Warriors, was published in 2005 and

is an important art piece in its own right. Each ele-
ment and detail of the book expresses the same
sense-appealing quality as her Spirit Figures: from
the beautiful black fabric cover with its embossed
gold lettering, to the rich, orange- colored first and
final pages. The book is filled with photos of many
of her sculptures and each is accompanied by a
meditation inspired by that particular figure. The
Spirit of Generosity tells us: “The more deeply I
nurture myself, the more I have to share with
others.” The Medicine Man says: “Walk with grace
and dignity and the whole world will honor you.”

Living in Taos, New Mexico, Kennedy is involved in the

healing arts and continues to be inspired by clouds,
natural objects, and the beauty of the surrounding
southwestern landscape. “Taos is a very lively place on
an energetic level. It’s intense here in terms of personal
work; it stimulates and amplifies what we bring with us. I
feel this energy goes into the sculptures and the sculptures
carry it out into the world.” She shared the following
about what she wishes to impart through her art: “We are
spiritual beings having a physical experience. Respect the
mystery of Life, because it’s so rich and so deep. Go
beyond the ordinary and make room for surprise, for
mystery, and for Spirit to speak. Quiet the outer world
and thoughts, so that inspirations may be heard. This art
comes from an authentic place in me. My hope is that
this authenticity will resonate in the person who is
visiting with the work and give them the inspiration and
courage to express their own uniqueness.”
