Headings Towards Eternity

Heading Towards Eternity is inspired by the song, The Pearl, by Emmylou Harris. I can listen to the song repeatedly without tiring of it, and I do. It lifts and inspires me on a deeply intuitive level. It soars and I soar with it. The lyrics echoed in my mind as I completed this piece. I wanted to depict the journey we all ultimately take boldly and energetically, as a positive movement towards complete release and true freedom.

If I were a singer, I would sing hosannas, but I am a painter, so I paint them - bold, energetic, and colorful images, characterized by rich tactile surfaces that hint of hidden messages and layers of meaning.

My highest hope is that my work may pierce your heart with joy.
