I have always been fascinated with the way the light glows through stained glass. I remember being a small child and walking along the rows of stained glass windows and being moved to tears not only by the story telling of the stations of the cross, but by the transcendent beauty of the art.
As I grew older and began to experiment with color in my own paintings, I had been searching for a similar purity in tone and translucence. The movement and line have also become very important, as I try to guide the viewer to what I see.
I have begun using painting as prayer, setting down my intentions in charcoal as I begin, hoping the vibrations of my intention remains perceptible on an energetic level.
