Greeting Card and PostCards – The Process
I have a studio in a small corner of our home with one window facing west. Very little light comes through this window, surely none of that glorious north light the great artists worshiped. But for me, light from the outside is unimportant since all of the time I spend in the studio is just when the moon exchanges places with the sun. You see, I paint in the evening, by moonlight, when most of creation is asleep. Alone, surrounded by darkness except for an old green wire-necked lamp, I discover a world of mysterious images hidden within me. Explore the greeting cards and postcards on my website, order online.
I would like to believe that I am not really alone in my studio—that the presence of God transforms the tiny space into a cathedral where I receive Divine instruction. But the everyday struggles I encounter there, the frustrations and challenges that continually surface, the fears and doubts that rise up like smoke from a burning wood, quickly dispel the fantasy that my studio is a sacred chapel where angels chant. For in reality, I hear more grunts than angelic voices, more groans than holy hymns, and more mutterings from witches than alleluias from saints.
And yet, despite the stormy atmosphere of my moonlit studio, many unexpected creations are born there—images whose Source is hidden deep within. They burst through the darkness giving no evidence of the turbulence they’ve borne as they make their way onto paper. The end result, the images you see, stand merely as witnesses of the process in whose mysterious grasp I have been caught for hours on end.
For me, the Creative Process is a consuming fire that chases relentlessly at my heels. At times I am willing to be caught and the work flows. But for the most part it requires courage, discipline and a daily commitment to walk naked into her flames. So I turn to the God of Mystery whose face I cannot see, but who has graciously given me faces of mentors I can recognize — artists, writers and poets of yesterday and today who show me the way. Then, in my darkest moments when even the moon seems to turn her gaze from me, a spark of light shines as I recall Vincent Van Gogh wearing candles in the brim of his straw hat while he painted outdoors at midnight.
