1. Angel of Serenity

2. Angel
Oil pastel on Bristol board
References to angels have existed as long as recorded history and it is interesting to note that winged beings have been found carved into ancient caves in many places in the world. The belief in angels stretches over many different cultures. In Judaism angels help to carry out God’s plans. In Orthodoxy Christianity archangels and angels are part of the hierarchy of nine bodiless powers and are workers and messengers of God. In Protestant Christianity angels are most important in the Gospel role of ministering to Jesus and assisting the disciples. Angels in Islam play an essential role as messengers and intermediaries from Allah to the world (from “The Big Book of Angels,” Hinker Books.)

The Archangel represents the word of God and symbolises the essence of our highest truth and is said to assist with media and art-related subjects. Inspiration: Sandro Botticelli (1489) |

6. In the Beginning II

My paintings draw inspiration from Biblical sources and symbolism (“Joie de Vivre” explores the life giving source of water; “In the beginning,” the concept of creation and the Journey) They celebrate the creative Spirit which transcends all boundaries and is limited only by our own inhibitions.

14. House Church and Silo (2004-5)
Oil on board
Landscapes for me have always been a wonderful medium for exploring the spiritual—the Unseen in the Seen. The sky/ground relationship and objects such as bridges, houses, silos, poles, roads and tanks are the vehicles that I hope allow the spirit to make His presence felt. |
