I have uninhibitedly basked more under the sun, walked barefoot on rocky and sandy paths,
ran with the outpouring rain,
swam in the sea, sat on the edges of survival and grief,
knelt fervently amidst chaos and trials, slept peacefully with faith even in uncertainties,
ate more from nature's bounty,
breathed freely on the wild natural air, drank from the streams of Living Water
and explored the depths of life's mysteries finding a simple truth:

"I am fearfully and wonderfully made."

I am a woman, mother of 6, grandma of 6, an artist. In my art and in my work, I see the gift that God has graced me with.

Art and design are channels that God has led me to find depth of expression. It is as I study His Word that I find inspiration.

It is as I express my faith and joy in painting and design that I seek to applaud the Christ that I follow and so imperfectly live for.

As I step in my golden years, I have come to a realization of the brevity and sanctity of life and I am grateful.
