I was invited by Susan Hooks to submit my work to this show under short notice. (Susan and Derek had just met me at the CIVA conference). Here is my submission entry. (The jury result came a few days later, they accepted #2 "We Adore Thee and #3 "The Waves of the Sea were Hushed".)
I submitted three works to the White Stone Gallery in Philadelphia for their summer show featuring artists and faith. It took me all weekend and until almost midnight to get the whole online process done. Writing statements is SO Hard to do. Writing and rewriting and then editing. Not my thing, I am not naturally verbally expressive, I express myself quietly in paint.Here are the three paintings.
