“Artists live and work within a complex framework . . . to stand out from the crowd requires great courage and individuality. These qualities may provide success in the short term, but only those endowed with a depth of vision, and who use art, not as an end in itself but as a means of telling greater truths, are those who succeed in creating the master pieces that can withstand the judgment of the sternest critic of all – time.” – Robert Cumming
When posed the question, “How do you come up with the ideas for your pieces?” I must give GOD all the Praise! For HE is the Master Artist – all of my inspiration comes from HIM.
The infinite design possibilities that yield from cut photos, starting with just a few and collecting hundreds of minuscule pieces, is a collage technique that is both enigmatic and pleasurable to me. Collage has given me the ability to venture deeper . . . giving my work an anomalous 3 – dimensional effect – of which I desire to go deeper.
More words . . . I do not have, though I will say that when one yields oneself to GOD, brace for a spectacular adventure!
In John’s Revelation, within the New Testament of The Holy Bible,
Jesus Christ admonishes “The Seven Churches” to heed HIS words of correction and rebuke along with receiving encouragement to prepare for HIS ultimate Return.
All throughout human history, art has been a unique catalyst by which we can communicate messages of Truth and Peace through barriers of language, age, race and many other differences that separate us.
It is with great hope that this exhibition will speak to those who not only love and appreciate art but will receive the Message of greater importance . . . that HE will Return.
