Marilyn Murphy, Member 41,144, is an Artist and Professor of Art Emerita at Vanderbilt University.  The drawing above was created with graphite in 2026 and is entitled “Cloud Factory”.  Marilyn told us, “I have spent my life surrounded by remarkable clouds.  Growing up on the Great Plains in the heart of Tornado Alley in the US, I am now mesmerized by the dream-like sky of Whangarei, New Zealand.  The artwork I produce is influenced by my environment, reading and my experiences. I love factory tours, books, old magazines from prior to mid-20th century and obsolete equipment.  Why not combine them all?”

Barbara Hirst is a visual artist from Calgary, Alberta.  She told us “whenever I get the chance, I go painting in the Rocky Mountains. Several years ago, I ventured to Lake O’Hara in Yoho National Park, British Columbia. I was struck by the unusual shapes of the clouds and the white misty patch that hung at the top of Mount Wiwaxy. It surely is a cloud catcher!”  The image above is called Clouds on Wiwaxy.

Joanna Thede, Member 66,865 recently joined the Society and works as a visual artist. Her latest work is called ‘Cumulus’ or simply ‘Cloud’ and was installed outside and lit during darkness in November 2025 in Helsingborg in Sweden.

The description of her work explains, “Cumulus” is a work consisting of 40 kilometers of crocheted fishing line. In Joanna Thede’s work there is often a wordless communication where the beautiful and slow take their place, similar to light phenomena in nature that constantly change and at the same time recur in seasonal and daily rhythms. “Cumulus” is about learning to float with the winds and to rise above the current ground conditions, similar to the Swedish poet Karin Boye’s third verse in the poem Clouds:

“Would it be granted to me that with festive pride like these
could lift me up, where the hustle and bustle of the worlds does not reach
and no matter how angry the roar of the storms goes around me
wear the golden wreath of the sun’s shimmer around my head..”

Joanna Thede has exhibited in several European countries such as Sweden, Denmark, Ireland, Scotland, Hungary, Lituania and Latvia among others. She has made several public outdoor art works and received art grants such as from the Art Council of Sweden and Malmö Art Museum.

Lisa Wlaschek, Member 66,689 recently sent us an example of her artwork.  She told us, “I draw myself as round objects for self-expression. Lately as an onion and now also as clouds, inspired by my recent membership signup to the Society”

Archetypal elements mark the landscape of earth and stone, standing as vestiges of time, acknowledging pathways with marking, scarring and erasing. Water, earth, wind, fire and ether emerge in physical form in my work: beeswax and resin; graphite and oil stick; wood, paper and cloth; glass and stone; lead sheet, wire and precious metal leaf. My paintings often reference the horizontal line between the sky and earth or the vertical line of the axis mundi. Working between Seattle and Santa Fe, my work encompasses sculpture, paintings, photography and found objects, often times a combination of these media.

The historical reverence for the power and sacredness of earth spans the timeline of our cultural memory. We live in a chaotic world where it is difficult to feel a part of the whole with the loss of control and balance: personally, politically and spiritually. If we become still and silent, we feel the four winds and the sky. We are then one with our kin of the past, the present and the future. Hopefully we will continue to find ways to understand and bond, not only to our environment, but most importantly, to each other.

The exhibition website page tells us –   

The special exhibition “Cloud Love” presents impressive photographs by the Eichstätt cloud estimator Hubert P. Klotzeck. All the works on display were filmed in the Altmühl Valley around Eichstätt affiliated. With its 360-degree panoramic view, the Jura plateau offers ideal conditions for observing the sky and invites you to look up to the sky. In his photographs, Klotzeck captures a wide variety of cloud formations – from filigree veils and dramatic thunderclouds to delicate feather structures and monumental skyscapes. These unique snapshots of textures and light reflect the incredible diversity and dynamics of the sky. The exhibition invites visitors to take a closer look at the often overlooked beauties above our heads. Because sometimes all it takes is the courage to look up to discover the ephemeral splendor of the clouds.

This was one of my first small artwork of a sunrise in the Simpson Desert and it still resonates with me, since 2014, I have been joining yearly treks with pack camels in the Simpson Desert in Australia. On this occasion, we put our swags on top of a sand dune, and I woke to a stunning morning sky. I painted this from a photograph I had taken, and this watercolour conveys the mood of this sunrise so much better than the photo.”
