Art helps me:
Slow down
Listen
Express my emotions and thoughts
Add rhythms for my soul
Listen to my heart and to God’s heart
Stop, look, ask, walk and find rest for my soul
Find delight and joy in the living of life
My art
Some art created while in Thailand in January… I was introduced to neurographic art — very therapeutic! my mixed media art and a gelli print
Some of my 2024 photography…
I’ve been working for years on a series — Is 9:6. Here are three of them, in the order I painted them: Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace and Wonderful Counsellor
Everlasting Father 2016
Prince of Peace 2022
Wonderful Counsellor 2023
2023 winter art - “The colours of the Swale No.1” and “Abundance”
WEAVINGS… I did a series of weavings as I pondered how God has interwoven so much into my life - so many blessings along with the tears; joys along with the hard things; laughter along with grief…
Blind contour drawing: Rules: 1) draw the contours without lifting your pen and 2) you may not look at your drawing (keep your eyes on the object).
“In the Shadow of the Cross” March 2020
Created in mid-March as I returned from Asia due to COVID19 - a truncated trip that was full of chaos, confusion, canceled events, restrictions, and fear. As I pondered this piece of art I began to see two invitations. One in the midst of the chaos: the earbuds/earphones that the airline gave out was an invitation to shut out the noise of the chaos and to listen. The second invitation came as I accepted the first one and listened - Step into the shadow of the cross and let the cross be my shield, refuge and strong tower.
