Where Light Becomes Art
Paintings created to bring beauty, feeling, and character into the spaces we inhabit
“For I am assured that if ye had known me ye would not have suffered that I should have worn these bands” Mosiah 7:13
I see so much in our world that gives me cause to mourn. I think there is a great lesson in this scripture and from a butterfly. When we open our hearts and minds to the possibility of love in our differences
There is beauty
connection
and flight
We are not meant to be in a cocoon
We are meant to love
I’ve decided when I feel powerless to help with things in the world that bring me so much pain the best thing I can do is dive into my work and hope to bring some semblance of joy and hope for a better world.

So here’s a butterfly for today’s painting and hope it brings a little hope to a weary heart. 9x12 canvas oil painting
