- Beyond; 2013; 11″ x 13″; mixed media: acrylic, watercolor, pastel. Privately owned.
Sacred Center Holds, 18” x 12”
Artist’s statement: If I could, like a weed releasing its tender seeds, stop trying so hard and simply yield into what I am meant to be, I suspect I would find that through all of this living and dying the sacred center holds: I belong to God, and it is enough.
Limited edition giclee print: $55
Beyond, 11″ x 13″
Artist’s statement: Sometimes in the journey of life I feel the powerlessness of what I cannot change or even understand. There are no words to verbalize fears sprouting wildly, out of control. Painting becomes a scramble to a pinnacle of safety, to a place beyond it all, to the shelter found in the wings of the One who promises to be near the crushed and broken-hearted. The One who says, yes, “in this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)

Gratitude, 15” x 11”
Artist’s statement: Early in the morning, before the sun, I rise in a shadowed sleepy house. Shaking dreams from the edges of my mind, I cradle the Book. Eager, expectant, this my most treasured hour. I listen to steady slow breathing, rising from rooms all around. Overcome, my heart swells and overflows. It seeps and fills every nook and cranny, wraps around those still sleeping in layers they cannot see. Even those I miss so tenderly, tears falling into the tide, only evidence of love given and received. Loving still, and forever. My heart cannot contain this joy. Through all the pain and sorrow we walk together. Onward, hand-in-hand towards the One I meet early, before any other – Source of these rivers of gratitude flowing on.

I joyfully donate 10% of art profits to Sanctuary of Hope home for orphans in Nairobi, Kenya.
Dear Colleen, “Offering” is framed now and on the wall in my little study, where I often pray the Psalms. Also loved how you wrapped and mailed the print!
These new prints are so beautiful too. Blessings, Ellen
