Artist bio

I am very active in our church where we live. I teach a smocking class to make baby gowns for infants who pass away too soon. It is a wonderful mission to help the parents heal from such a loss.

HOPE

Artist Statement

Scripture: Isiah 40:30 NIV
“but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles, they will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not be faint.”

How it fits into contest

I decided to paint an eagle flying over the ocean. The eagle shows strength and hope we have if we trust God in all our decisions.
Four years ago, my life had major changes. I lost my only sister, and my husband of forty years. I was the last of three children, so I really had no immediate family.
I waited a year to decide what direction my life would take next. I’ve always loved the coast, so I was called in that direction. It’s been very healing, with God’s grace. Trust God and He will direct your path and give you strength. You will not only walk, but soar like an eagle.
