All of these paintings reflect my spiritual journey as I integrate work as an artist with work as a spiritual director. I find that the paintings become what they need to become as they are designed and painted, and that I may be surprised at what emerges.
 
Seed of the Cross
This painting depicts the darkness of Holy Week yet the promise of the empty cross with the seed of Christianity ready to be planted. There are still dark spaces in our spirits and in the world, and the challenge to “Grow” with Christ remains.
