For me, the work of art is about the search for, and acknowledgement of, the holiness present in each moment. Abstract art -- line and color that hints rather than defines -- gives permission to expand or to restrict physical boundaries, to surround the spirituality of each moment. Art is a transformation of thought or emotion; art is the opportunity for thought or emotion; art is an opportunity for growth. As such, art is a participation in the reality of God’s presence.

You send such Beauty
to my window, to my heart
how can I thank You
except by the
Gathering & Reflecting
of Each Thing.

The theme and sub-themes of the 2006 General Convention coincide with my own reality of art and the spiritual opportunities within. Art documents both the mile and milestone of a life pulled toward the Spirit.
