I feel the act of creativity itself is a spiritual act and connects me to my creator. Art for me is an attempt at capturing an element of divine beauty and relating it in a visual way in hopes that others may also enjoy my experience of God, even if in a fleeting or small way. I often want to depict a feeling of calm, fun, or soft feeling of love in my work. I am drawn to subjects that fill me with excitement or ease, a feeling of rest and contentment. This in particular was strong in my work during covid times where I strongly desired quiet soothing rest in a time of unknowns.
