While serving with the United Nations, I developed a concern for individuals from different cultures, and sought to find an artistic style to convey my spiritual journey, and also reach an audience with limited exposure to contemporary Christian images. I chose the mandala, an ancient design symbolizing the Universe, as an appropriate structure for spiritual contemplation. The intent is to create works giving the appearance of a dream interpretation while stylistically incorporating kaleidoscopes and stained glass windows with the mandala. COVID19 and Black Lives Matter changed the direction of my work to a more literal and allegorical style, once the literal scene is established, the allegorical follows and hopefully reflect the movement of the moment.
