Walk in the Light

My new artist statement: 

In my art I am trying to somehow transcend the physical and glimpse the spiritual.  Visual art expresses what words cannot.  Many of my works are meant to be contemplative.  They speak to the gap between spirituality and our human understanding. This is what draws me to my subject matter. I believe art emanates from the Creator.  It's bigger than ourselves.  My art is part of my spiritual journey-- like a prayer you can see.

Art Shows


In mid May, I was able to get two paintings accepted into the Blair County Art Festival Show.  One of the paintings won Honorable Mention and the other painting sold!!!  For the month of June, I have 16 works at the Chambersburg Hospital.  Starting this Friday I will have 4 works in the Franklin County Art Alliance Show I am hoping for some prizes and/or sales!!! 

Today was the last day of school and now my art adventures begin!!  The first adventure begins on Sunday when I go to the ocean with Dot and Lin.  As you may know, I contracted Lyme Disease from working in my garden.  The antibiotic I am taking does not allow me to be in the sun, so I am going to have to stay under an umbrella and paint at all times!!!!!

This is visiting my Dad last week at the VA home in Hollidaysburg after we walked in the Pancreatic Cancer Society Walk for Mom.
