Artist Statement

 

I am a story teller - I tell stories with words, with images, paint, cloth and clay.

 

This current series of visual narratives came as a result of my quiet time reflecting on the over 150 countries I have been blessed to traveled to.

 

The art is about real people and situations which I encountered.   I refer to these encounters as my God-sightings. My muse for each piece was not derived from simply a moment of fleeting  aesthetic inspiration - but  instead my art was birthed from my grappling with the dueling realities I encounter in my travels.

 

My art is ultimately about my story and my journey of how God used each trip to melt and humble my heart to have a deeper understanding and insight for His heart for the nations. 

 

As a Western woman I longed to see the world through God's eyes versus my own interpretation.  I wept as I began to take ownership and address my own issues of complacency, apathy and selfishness,  I soon found myself being overwhelmed with HIS compassion for the people I met that He was using to melt my heart.

 

What i discovered was that every nation has a unique identity and glory that art and prayer help it to manifest.

 

Therefore, my goal was to attempt to capture visually the dueling realities I had encountered in my travels and to demonstrate a culture of honor through my art.  I believe through prayer and sharing my stories and my art I could perhaps bring my small contribution of reconciliation and understanding .
