Catherine Morgan

Anam Cara

Artist Statement: To me, this Anam Cara painting shows the Trinity: Jesus as the ultimate Soul Friend to each of us, God's love lighting up the world way beyond ways we now understand, and the Holy Spirit blowing away "all the usual ways of doing and judging things" to let something new and unanticipated evolve.

Bio: Catherine Jo Morgan lives and paints in a tiny cabin she helped build years ago, in the woods of northeast Georgia. She tries to live in a state of being in which she can see and feel the trees looking back at her, and if she thinks a thought that suddenly makes the woods glow, she knows she’s on the right track. Her aim is to paint the paintings that want to be made by her, exactly as they want to be made. Only with the help of the paintings themselves, a frame drum, music, and the Trinity does she have hope of doing this.
