reflection of sin

The title of my artwork, “reflection of sin”, has a two-fold meaning - A literal reflection of myself, my sin. And, a confessional reflection, repentance.

When I look into the mirror, I see myself broken. I see every sinful thought and action I’ve done surround me. But, as a Christ-follower, I also need to see myself as God sees me, forgiven. I need to see the hope, love and “golden” grace of God that holds me together.

When I look into the mirror every morning, I can see me or what God sees. My faith is what gives me the strength to equal my day.

Bio:
The first 40 years of my professional visual arts career focused on print media, working through design studios and corporate design firms. I use that design background today, but my artwork has a new concentration - expressing my gratitude for the blessed life I lead. My faith leads me to reflect and express what I experience day to day. Living on 15 wooded acres, nature and wildlife surround me. The beauty I see inspires me. The assemblages I create express the range of emotions I feel every day. My hope is to draw others in and encourage them to slow down, also reflect, and ultimately enjoy the glory all around us.
