THE MISSION
When I began this work in 2001, I didn't imagine it would blossom into what is has become today. I've always loved color, symbols, design, fabric and thread. Putting this all together was just plain fun! However, God had something much more important in mind. Working with color, design, fabric and thread allows me to express my faith in a tangible way. The gifts that God has so graciously given me spark a passion to create and a thirst to share that creation with others. God inspires me through Scripture, Creation, and the rich symbolism of the Church. My artwork is intended to enhance the beauty of the worship space (being created specifically for that space) and to provide a visual message for the worship experience. Broadly stated, the design elements and colors offer a visual interpretation of God’s love for all of us, although every individual connects with my art in their own way; through their own faith experiences.
