Reflections on Grace: “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” 2 Corinthians 12:9
O
ver the last year ‘reflections’ has been a recurrent theme both creatively and spiritually. Within my work I have been ‘reflecting’ artistically by portraying the same view in different seasons and light. Painting reflections has been inspiring. It has also enabled me to pursue elements of mark making and abstraction in my work. Spiritually, I have been reflecting on ‘Grace’ — that is God’s favour and kindness towards us, His acceptance of us and ultimately His desire to help us. I hope that in some small way these works reflect that grace. It is my intention that, as you view them, you will feel a sense of grace, a sense of help at hand and ultimately a sense of peace.
