Title: Self Portrait
Medium: Oil on canvas
Dimenstions: 29” x 41 ¼”
This piece illustrates a revelation: challenges can either overwhelm us or propel us forward, like surfing a wave. There's a balance between allowing the difficulties in life to move us better, and an optimistic surrender when things are not in our control. This is an example of how I experience divine communication through art.

“I went to sleep, but my heart stayed awake.” Song of Solomon 5:2. This is depicting the intense experience and emotion involved in the courtship phase of a relationship.

Title: Beauty for Ashes

This painting is a version of the rising Pheonix. When our eyes are fixed on the light, we are only then lifted out of the fire and ashes of this world. We are lifted out of the mirey clay and what was once ash is turned to beauty.

We are most powerful when male and female come together united, yet maintaining our beautiful differences. The red in female and blue in male represents their independence.

Title: Intimacy
Medium: Oil on canvas
Dimensions: 48” x 24”
A vision of love and beauty. At times my work flows freely without much regard for detail, but to capture the essence of what I'm feeling. My science friend later said this painted looks similar to actual DNA. I also noticed the potential creation of life in pregnancy in the center of them.

Medium: Oil on board
Dimensions: 53 ¼” x 21”
There is a figure in this painting with the sun at the center of it's being. Spending significant time taking in the beauty of the sunset on the water, I begin to feel connected beyond comprehension. That is where this painting comes from. We are all connected to nature and to eachother.
Title: Marilynn
Medium: Oil on board
Dimensions: 48 x 32
I originally painted this for a friend who loves Marilynn Monroe. I didn't know much about her when I did this painted, but intimately seeing how beautiful she was, I could also in a way feel her sadness. Her dress and earrings stand out while she fades to black and white. Learning about her life, I understand the tragedy of this beauty. Sendi
