My new book Lift Up Your Heart chronicles the experience of being moved to new places and circumstances as wild and wayward as they have been blessed and inspired.

Artwork and collections are featured along with reflections on my art making process as it intersects with my contemplative practices and insights on the path.
Today, a single rose holds all the fragrance that has been, is now, and will forever be.
Though it is true “a painting is never finished,” there are unmistakable moments when I immediately know the painting has reached a state where it rests in wholeness.
I discern this state as active with the aliveness of a dynamic incarnational being, and quiet with the unchanging presence of the One in Whom all things hold together.
