Searching

Oil on Canvas
20" x 24"

Artist Statement: Blue Herons are a favorite bird I love to watch. This is one I painted flying and searching for food, a place to rest, or to find solitude, who knows. It makes me wonder what we are searching for. As in the Gospel of John when the disciples are asked, “What are you looking for?” they are invited to come and experience Christ. The world is full of such searchers, can you help them see and experience Christ? May we also continue to search for Him and see Him in all who are brought into out path in each and every experience we have.

Bio: I have always been interested in art but didn’t start painting until 1995 while living in Clayton, NC where I begin taking art classes.

I started with drawing and colored pencil and moved to watercolor. I tried pastels, and acrylics, but finally settled on water-soluble oils.

I painted for over 20 years with a wonderful group of ladies, all older, who encouraged and critiqued my work until their age no longer permitted us to paint together. What a gift they all were to me.

I have exhibited in many different locations in the Clayton, Raleigh and Wilmington, NC area.

I am married, have two adult children, a son in law, and a wonderful granddaughter all who support and encourage me as an artist.
