Painting for me
is moving meditation. It is much more than a series of prepared acts
and formulas....it is an
orientation of the whole body, mind and spirit in silence, attention
and adoration. I’ve experienced so much joy reveling in the beauty
and mystery of God’s creation, yet a glimpse into the face of
the Divine.
