Copper Ridge Painting |
Artist Statement: From Isaiah 60: "Arise, shine; for your light has come,…darkness shall cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples; but the Lord will arise upon you, and his glory will appear over you." This painting makes me think of the Good News that breaks into my reality at every opportunity…when I allow it. Bio: I began painting over thirty years ago. In that time, I have studied painting with several internationally and nationally acclaimed artists that have influenced my work including Beverly McIver, James Edward Sherbarth, Skip Lawrence, Alex Powers, and Judi Betts. I have been represented by several galleries in North Carolina and my work has been featured in group and solo shows in Eastern North Carolina. My work has been purchased for private and corporate collections throughout the East Coast. I have been a participating member of ECVA for ten years and have been included in many online exhibitions during that time. I am a lifelong Episcopalian and have been active in the church’s mission throughout myadult life. My daughter, Anne, is an Episcopal priest serving as Assisting Priest for Children’s Education at Church of Our Saviour, San Gabriel, CA. Her husband, Jeff, is rector at Church of Our Saviour , San Gabriel, CA. |
