My art has been displayed in famous collections throughout the world and often honored with excellent reviews. However, in my career, nothing can compare to the emotions I hold for my latest exhibit, at Cranbrook Institute of Science. To have my paintings hang amidst this priceless collection of natural minerals, in such a beautiful setting, is nearly beyond my imagining. When I began using God’s art – the earth’s minerals – to further enhance my own art, I discovered a fabulous phenomenon. Minerals are tremendously exciting! Their incredible beauty is expressed in innumerable colors, shapes and varieties. They sparkle like diamonds! They are truly alive! As I selected a mineral, held it in my hand and viewed it from numerous angles I studied and pondered its individual characteristics and beauty. How would I attach it to my painting? How would I integrate it to best display its magnificent properties? What colors would I select to compliment its depth and dimension? Should my work portray strength or softness and subtlety? As I paint, I continuously contemplate the outcome of the final product. Art is born deep within my soul and floods the canvas with a magnificent spectrum of color and intensity; it embraces and encompasses my being. When a painting is completed, I experience immeasurable joy accompanied by mental and physical exhaustion. As an artist, I continue to learn from the magnificent minerals nature has provided. Each of my paintings affords the opportunity to combine my own God-given gifts with the intense beauty of nature. I am often reminded of a quotation inscribed on Nieuwland Science Hall at Notre Dame: “He who dwells in heaven has strewn the ground with the wealth of kings.” I am thrilled and honored that my art afford others the opportunity to draw closer to some of nature’s most profound treasures!
