The Artist's Studio at The Farm at South Mountain
Artist Statement: In the late 1980s
I attended a seminar in a Benedictine
monastery with a watercolor artist who
spoke eloquently about the merging of her
spirituality & her art. It was the first time
those two worlds of my life came together.

Artist Bio: I am co-pastor with my
husband, of South Mountain Ave.,
which is dually affiliated with the United
Church of Christ & the United
Methodist Church.
Because water & light are such potent
symbols for God, and because watercolor
has a life of its own, and tends to guide
the artist, rather than the artist being in
complete control of the medium, I have
found my faith enriched by hearing and
seeing how God can speak through my
painting.
I predominantly use scripture passages
for the subject, simply because it is the
vehicle of sensing God’s presence for so
many people…particularly many of the
most familiar phrases that have been long
memorized, prayed and meditated on.
I am a Northern Midwesterner who has
found her spiritual and artistic home in
the desert Southwest!
