The Why

I've long felt a tension in expressing the majestic, all-seeing, all-knowing, ever-present, loving, most high God in terms that humans can grasp. Can it be done? Should it be done? Yes! Throughout scripture, God reveals His mystery, so He definitely wants everyone to know Him and His ways well. After much intense Bible study and prayer, I endeavor to express His character through engaging verbal presentations and the visual language of art, bringing the truth and love of God to people in the places they live, worship, learn, work and play.

Faith is Worship
To exercise faith is to acknowledge and affirm the attributes, intentions and abilities of God—as in worship. Joan C. Thomson

“But you, dear friends build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit.” Jude 20

Silk Palms

by Joan C. Thomson (c)

He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and release for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor...to comfort all who mourn and provide for those who grieve in Zion--to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair.
Isaiah 61:1-3

Thank you for such a wonderful demonstration last night at Stanly County Art guild! We were amazed at how well organized you are, and how fast you are able to complete a lovely print (2, actually!). C. King

Your colors are vibrant and "alive" and wonderful. The demonstration was fun to watch and very informative. Thanks for sharing a creative evening with us!

Thank you so much for your presentation last night. It was wonderful. Your paintings are so vibrant. I know God is faithful in letting you share your testimony with others!
