Energy of Unity Grew out of my prayerful dialogue with Christ's prayer John 17 that we all would be united in him just and he and God were one. Someone once told me they thought a Black Hole was a good metaphor for God -- powerful, pulling all things to itself, it's presence felt more than seen -- in fact, the only way to "see" a black hole is to see the glow from the space objects being pulled into it's center. Using this metaphor, the "star" at the center is the Christ incarnate and visible who shows us God and draws us to God. The colorful circles represent individuals in all their diversity, at different stage on the path to God. Each one is connected to the Christ star, filled with its light and connected to each other through that light. It is Christ who unifies us, not how we worship, who we are or what we do. It is Christ who brings us together as one Body.
 
Drawing and painting are my primary language, more comfortable than words. Through my art, I share the ongoing conversations I have with the world around me and the meaning that I see within the things I encounter. I share visually what I hear and see and how I respond to nature, events, and people in my daily life. The work included in this show are part of my ongoing dialogue/prayer with God. Some of them are responses to scripture; others are images that came out of the silence of listening in prayer.
