Art Gallery
I invite you into these luminescent ‘thin spaces’ that bridge the natural world to the spiritual. I create a ‘rarified atmosphere’ using photo encaustic, cold wax and oil and acrylic. My intention is to portray the luminous veil of light that separates heaven and earth, to show hope and encouragement in the midst of darkness. All are intentioned to reflect the Presence of God – Whose hand is there to meet us in our ‘thin space’ moments.
The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of His hands. Psalm 19:1
