The Soul's Journey - a Mystical Approach to the Stations of the
Cross
By Kathrin Burleson
Kathrin Burleson has created a contemporary view of the Stations of
the Cross using a "Mystical Approach". While the life of Jesus
is extraordinary, and he was hardly “any man”, the remarkable
thing is that he lived life as one of us. He shows the way for
each of us because in him and his story, we see ourselves, and
the challenges and suffering that are the stuff of life. |

The Cross Within:
Meditations on Christ by Gary L. Sanford
Images of a cross have repeatedly appeared to Gary Sanford
during meditative prayer. Though lacking formal art training,
Gary has captured these images as digital art using his computer
in "hope
that you will find these images inspiring, meditative, and
perhaps, peaceful". |

For there is a language of
flowers . . .
by Richard Adams
For Richard Adams, photographing flowers close-up is a
reflection "of
the beautiful, healing nature of creation." He has also found
inspiration in lyrics based on a poem with the words, "For
there is a language of flowers / For the flowers are peculiarly
/ The poetry of Christ." |

Child of the Light
by Jane Collin
Inspired by the lyrics "I want to walk as a Child of the
Light”, artist Jane Collin began to paint the children serving
at the altar. But these were not just children within the
congregation, these children had touched Jane's personal life as
well. "As I painted her, I felt her delight and celebrated my
friendship with this Child of the Light." |

Mourning to Morning
by Dorothy Ralph Gager
Sculptor
Dorothy Gager created a
series of sculptures that represent a personal struggle she endured.
"My conclusion is that no matter what the struggle . . . the meaning
of the cross of Jesus Christ is unchanged. And the power of the
cross, Jesus' sacrifice, and resurrection would be my strength and
my joy. And so it has!" |

Exploring the Book
by Sandra Bowden
"My work for the last 40 years has focused on the miracle of written
language, especially for those of us who are people of the Word.
During that time there were many series of work that explored my
fascination and study of language. Through a pictorial system we
call language we are able to communicate across time and place
allowing us to enter the mind of another pilgrim on the journey of
life." |

Lost Temple
by
Mary Ann Breisch
In response to childhood images of God, a man who lives in the sky,
artist Mary Ann Breisch explores the question "Who is our sky
mother?". "These images were deeply influenced by my experience as
an artist in residence at a school for unwed mothers, and a period
of concentrated exploration of the "Goddess" in a group with other
seekers." |

The Miracle of Small Things
by Anne Wetzel
Photographer Anne Wetzel relishes in the simple things that she
finds in the world around her. When she goes for walks, she is careful
to observe the small details that others might overlook. "I don’t want
to miss any of what I might see. The summer reflection of two leaves in
a pool of water or the small twig rising up through the snow on Little
Long Pond. Every autumn the collection of mushrooms that push up through
the leaves is wonderful. I try to capture it all." |

The Parables of Jesus
by Jim Janknegt
Jesus' reason for speaking in parables had to do with looking but
not seeing, and listening but not hearing. Jim Janknegt believes the
artist's role is "to help us see, not just look; see what the
shadows of this world are disclosing about the Government of the
Promised Son." He provides us with eight images from his
ongoing series based on The Parables of Jesus. |

Magnum Mysterium
by Inga Dubay
Inspired by the motet, O Magnum Mysterium, Inga Dubay has created a
series of 9 paintings interpreting the choral work. "The layering of
various media, together with the central gesture, are for me a visual
metaphor of the words and harmonies of the music." |
