The BIG IDEA is now a reality.

6/21/2023

Today was a momentous day. What started as a little glimmer, blossomed and grew and has become a reality. The once frightening mask that caused some apprehension, has been transformed into something that for me is a symbol of a sort of resurrection. Butterflies are traditional representations of that transformative power of rebirth.

"Behold, I make all things new" (Rev. 21:5)

The color green is full of life and growth. Every living creature is symbolic of the wonder of creation for me.
I hope the video below which shows the construction process and a final view of how it all came together will express what I felt as I created this piece.
From the very beginning, when I asked the BIG IDEA why it was here, I was convinced it was because someone needs a little encouragement. My hope is that seeing this video brings joy and light.

“I am a contemplative artist who has trouble accessing verbal skills. Finding the right words to talk about the amazing things I observe around me can be frustrating. It is much more natural for me to pick up a paintbrush, some embroidery floss or my camera when I wish to share some new discovery. The artwork I create is meant to be enjoyed on whatever level the viewer experiences it and not layered with complex meaning. Feathers, fur, flowers and the incredible variation I find in wildlife not only inspire me, but compel me to share every nuance with you.
