“AFTER THE STORM”

As storms pass they may be frightful and fraught with uncertainty, but give thanks. Even when there are storms of confusion, the palm reminds us as its branches wave - Give Praise. “And you will always give thanks for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Ephesians 5:20. “A huge crowd of Passover visitors took palm branches and went down the road to meet Him. They shouted, praise God! Bless the One who comes in the name of the lord…” John 12:13

ARTIST STATEMENT

Places allow us to remember. I push myself to capture a moment. I struggle to reenact a time to remember. For me my life reruns through my mind, stopping from time to time to reminisce and reflect. As the paint reveals more and more, my mind races to remember. These images are not of a special place, but the journey of life as I remember. As I walk this journey, others have also. This is why I wanted to share. Each of us must take the time to reminisce and reflect. If we don't then the journey will be forgotten.

My artistic growth over time has been the understanding of purpose for my work. The vision is relational. My paintings are simply a moment in time. My idea is to take people to a moment so they may reflect and share their experiences. As my storm was coming to a end, I met our Lord on a personal level. He shared with me a moment in my past to show that He was present then and is now in my life. Understanding the presence of our Lord, I'm on a journey of reflecting and using this gift to share my experience in the hope that others will also share their journey. I see my paintings as visual tools to help others share their memories and develop relationships. I've come to recognize His presence through my journey and my hopes and prayers are that others will also. I would like to encourage you to share this and my work with others. I would be blessed. If I can capture a moment in-time, how wonderful it is to know it was a gift.
