✨🎨✨

Over twenty years ago, I had an experience where God used the image of rocks and boulders scattered through a stream to show me something about how I am to impact people in this world.

The rocks stretched as far as I could see to the horizon line, and beyond. As I looked at them, God gave me a knowing in my spirit. He said, “You see how many rocks there are here? This represents how many people you will see when you get to heaven, that have been impacted by you and the way you’ve shared my love with them.”

While I have gone on to serve others in a variety of ways through my career as an art therapist, I continue to feel God expanding my vision and capacity to dream big for my life and the lives of those I come in contact with.

I use the creative process to identify and express my emotions in prayer, and in Flowing Through, you see visual evidence of this continued exploration, as I seek to bridge the gap between my internal and outer worlds.

The vaguely rock-like shapes floating on the surface of these paintings represent the people I come in contact with throughout life, and the sometimes beautiful, painful, or awkward dance of interaction between us.

God has given me a vision for serving others, but sometimes I wonder, “How?”. The practical steps I am called to take feel intangible at times; difficult to grasp.

Each piece was created using a variety of materials, including acrylic paint, oil pastels, graphite, and permanent marker. The majority of the canvases were bought second-hand and repurposed. I have a strong belief that art should be accessible to everyone, and I have exemplified this through my use of simple materials to create fine art.

I’m thankful to the friends who showed up last night to see my exhibit, Flowing Through! Talking with them about my process and the meaning of this body of work, as well hearing their own thoughts and emotional reactions was so impactful.

The exhibit will be up through the end of November, so be sure to stop by if you haven’t already! Best times would be Monday-Thursday 9am-6pm (the space is usually closed for private events on Fri/Sat).

And let me know when you’re thinking of going…I’ll meet you there if I can!

This body of work was created over the past year, and holds very special spiritual and emotional significance for me.
