Art Workshops
1) Going Toward the Light
Expand listening skills while communally creating different expressions of the same underlying pattern.
I practiced peace, centering, and a listening framework for this series by using the same underlying pattern of three vertical lines and three horizontal lines with nine overlapping circles in my original paintings. I was surprised at how the shapes seemed to call to me; the painting process felt like a dialogue. Each painting goes toward and emanates from a central Light. I painted them on 24” x 24” wooden panels, using oil paint I hand mixed with nontoxic pigments and all natural linseed oil, earth and seed joined together. Groups will have the opportunity to paint their own interpretations of this pattern, meditate and share insights in this guided retreat.
Archival prints are available of each of these paintings. Please go to my contact page and send me a message if interested in purchasing a print.

Learn about fractals and create a visual reminder of the repeating patterns of God's grace.
In the painting above, I used a repeating pattern of a dove to represent God's presence throughout the generations, showing 7 different sizes of doves to represent 7 generations (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64) forming a bird murmuration (the flying formation of birds as they move and form transforming organic shapes). The birds flow over, in and through the space in the elusiveness, permeability and yet tangible expressions of relationship and time. I then used the 7 sizes layered on top of each other to represent seed pods and what each generation gifts to those who will yet be. Through worship and meditation in this day retreat, participants will choose a symbol of God's love in their life, create a repeating pattern from that symbol and share their creation with the group.
