As at other times when life has shut down on me, during the pandemic I turned to the arts to mentally survive. Since that time I have been very active as an artist again while continuing to write. I wrote a poem about being an artist and a Christian a while back and share it here now along with the announcement that I have the privilege of being selected to show two works of art at a local gallery. It's great fun to show my artwork again and deeply rewarding to feel like a true artist--not because I got into a show, but because my brain is filled with images, colors and desire to put art out into the world.
I only know Whose I am
When a brush is in my hand
Or my fingers are stained with ink
From that well
Or a pencil is between my fingers
And pressing against paper
Or a brush is filled with pigment
Flowing onto canvas
Or when a Bible is splayed out before me.
