If you are around the Belmont Area, stop into the Leu Center for the Visual Arts. I have three pieces up for display in a collaborative show themed around Wealth and Poverty. The show is up now and runs through February 24th. We will have an artists reception on Thursday February 16th at 4:00.
Wealth and poverty are polar opposites. One exists because the other does also. We all have a relentless tug-of-war between these opposing forces in our spirits, minds, and bodies. These paintings are the stories of myself and others as we learn to no longer fight this tension, but rather ebb and flow with it.
Here we find a place of beauty, a development of character, a depth of knowledge, a source of wisdom, and a garden of gratitude.
It’s here where I choose to live,
holding the hands of my neighbors
as we sway in a communal dance of praise
to the One who gives and takes away both wealth and poverty.
