Glorious

Glorious

I loved the process this work went through because when I began I wasn’t sure what the finished painting would look like. This is so unlike what I used to be like when I was painting mostly realist work. I enjoy the mystery with mixed media with not being totally sure...
Catalysts of Peace

Catalysts of Peace

The five ladies represent different nationalities and are wearing crowns to show their royalty as Daughters of King Jesus. There are five ladies, as the meaning of the number five is ‘grace’ and they need God’s grace to be Catalysts of Peace. There is a cross on their...
Regal Sisters

Regal Sisters

“Regal Sisters” is a unique art deco painting with luxury, glamour, and a hint of Klimt. The bold geometry, texture and detail make this work distinctive. Embellished with glitter and rich colors, the overall effect gives the sense of royalty and confidence. In...
The Way Through

The Way Through

This represents the twists and turns we often make before we break through to our freedom. The dark blues and purples at the top of the painting speak of the hardest time which can often come before the breakthrough. The splashes of orange, green, magenta and gold...
Entering In

Entering In

This painting came about when I woke around 5.30am one morning with this image before my eyes, and knew I had to paint it. This work is totally different to anything I have painted before. I asked God what it meant and the revelation I had was that the circles...
Universe – In His Hands

Universe – In His Hands

This is the first of a series. I personally marvel at the stars and the universe. It displays the awesome handiwork of our creator God. It has a cross in the work as a reminder that God has the universe and His whole creation in His hands.
Christchurch Cathedral – There is Hope

Christchurch Cathedral – There is Hope

Christchurch’s beautiful cathedral was badly damaged in an earthquake, including losing it’s steeple. It is hoped the cathedral will be rebuilt. I was inspired to portray the cathedral in an artwork showing the damaged cathedral and a rebuilt cathedral. I wanted to...
Hope for Christchurch

Hope for Christchurch

When I heard about the earthquake in Christchurch I had a desire to create an image of hope. To me the cathedral is symbolic of the whole city so this work is a metaphor of the rebuilding of Christchurch. I chose the words of the National Anthem as a backdrop to this...
Five Wise Women

Five Wise Women

These women with oil in their lamps are ready for any circumstance. They represent qualities of preparedness, resilience, and forward thinking. My motivation in painting this is to encourage women to be wise in troublesome times.
Free to be me

Free to be me

This is the second in my series on self esteem. I see people as beautiful and unique and this painting is to remind people to be free to be themselves and not be influenced to strive to be like someone they aren’t.
Floral Pathway to Glory

Floral Pathway to Glory

Our life’s pathway has many curves but God is faithful and is constantly with us as we stay on His path. The flowers represent the beauty and fragrance of the presence of God and His amazing promises which encourage us along the way to eternity.
Beside Still Waters

Beside Still Waters

God leads us beside still waters. The trees represent the different seasons in our lives. The tree without leaves reminds us of our barren times, the orange and yellow trees speak of transition and the green trees speak of being strong and fruitful. All trees are near...
Gathering Flowers

Gathering Flowers

This work represents our journey through life, appreciating those special moments along the way. Because of my love of colour I particularly enjoyed painting this work over many weeks.
