Visual Arts 2018 Contest

Title

Artist Statement

"Rejoicing Triumph" is a painting I created to honor my black sisters in their amazingly powerful worship.
I created this in layers of paint, in order to have depth and texture. I have painted several artworks on this theme, & I feel that this one is the best.

How it fits into contest

"Rejoicing Triumph is artwork about how praise & worship are a strong force for break through in our prayer life. Triumphant worship can break out in the dance. Waving the banner holds a deep meaning for me, demonstrating that we are covered by His love ( His banner over me is love), and it is a powerful symbol of victory.
