The inner landscape of my soul
dwells and thrives in the space of encounter with God.
Encounter with silence and wonder
The space that is an altered state of stillness than the ordinary state we so often live in.
The practice of art for me has been the invitation to this quiet space and the inner realm of this kind of dwelling where my pained nervous system unwinds and I am able to glide into the peaceful other reality.
For me, Bringing art to others is the offering of the same kind of invitation that has saved my life. It’s about offering keys of entry to this same space that even children become still in to restore their nervous systems from all that is hurled at them in the world and especially now in our information overload and technological scrolling arena that can so easily take us apart.
Love dwells in the stillness; forming new stories.
Imagination shaped by love dwells there.
I have suffered many things but I am here because of the gifts of dwelling there.
Life is such a beautiful gift.
