These provocative prints are taken from original paintings created by Stephen Gambill that were shown during the early years of the Men's Rites of Passage at Ghost Ranch in New Mexico. Prints of the paintings were first made available at the Men's Rites of Passage in 1998. At the time of creation, they were part of a series of paintings that evolved out of Gambill's need to explore surfacing thoughts about masculine issues. This stimulating artwork serves as valuable resource for both men and women to use with contemplative practices. The prints can be purchased online individually for $8.00 or as a set of six for $40.00. All six prints can be viewed and purchased online at the Mustard Seed.
