 D. Lammie-Hanson’s 'Transcendence' series is dedicated to empowering the souls of people who are marginalized. The message behind her work is what led me to her and to the cover art that now graces the Vicissitudes book.


"The ‘Transcendence’ series incorporates pigments and water forming as the emotional background. The majority of the patterns and textures are dominated by the water. Water is an important medium of life. It is used in baptisms as a rebirth of the spirit of almost every faith. It is used to heighten the senses into a level of transcending to the next level of being. My utilization of water is to enhance the spiritual element by letting it flow freely throughout the painting. This makes each painting's emotional background content unique like each individual I create. Once it is dried, then I am able to visualize the human image that will emerge from the patterns and colors."
                    D. Lammie-Hanson, artist.

The first image, ‘Coming into my being’, was chosen to become Vicissitudes’ cover art. The following are D. Lammie-Hanson’s other pieces that make up the ‘Transcendence’ series:


Coming into My Being

  “She did nothing except try to talk me out of who I am.” Kim Green’s Rene from Vicissitudes For some, there is a natural instinct to try to change things that cannot be changed.  When a person, shares their most profound truth with the world, if we don’t like what we hear, some tend to ignore and deflect this precious moment of trust. Gay and trans people are among the many who face this egregious type of disbelief when they’ve revealed themselves. It is how Conversion Therapy was born. The cruel and often violent practice of trying to excise that which doesn’t seem to “fit” is an extreme response to our culture’s inability to accept reality when it’s not our own.  Those who respond to an LGBT person’s disclosure  with dismissive comments such as “it’s just a phase” or “grow your hair” or “find a nice girl/boyfriend are ultimately practicing their own form of Conversion Therapy.     This must stop.  In Vicissitudes , my character, Rene, lam...

 Transformation begins here...   “Love is all there is…” Kim Green from Vicissitudes Welcome to Vicissitudes weekly!  I am proud to say that Vicissitudes , my new novel is set for pre-release next week. It is a modern-day romance that explores the intricacies of love and romance. The book challenges readers to embrace their whole selves to learn how to truly embrace others. The complex characters of Vicissitudes , each tell their story, creating unexpected plot twists and turns which promise to spark deep discussions about all that it takes to be fully human.  The deeper that I got into writing the novel, the more I understood that life is the only true privilege any of us have. It is the vicissitudes of life that keep us alive, charging us with the bravery to grow from the new and unexpected. If not, we perish into obsolescence. If open-mindedness keeps us alive, love is what keeps us human. It is with this in mind that I created these characters to take readers on...

This is a scene from Vicissitudes   performed by the talented Josephine Roth.  Bethany's monologue   is an example of what I envision a person who is losing someone they love to transition may look like. Every day people lose their loved ones to transition. It is a sensitive and deeply emotional topic that I tried to shine light upon through Bethany's character. I hope you enjoy this sneak peak into the novel and into Bethany's journey:
