“I have created art for sacred spaces in order to bring a visual dimension to enhance the spiritual experience. The art taps into the deep quiet centers of the soul; it has a contemplative nature. The gentle movement of color and pattern leads you from a busy mind to a still mind, so you can experience the divine places within.”

Elemental Meditations is a permanent installation of eight hand-painted banners, expressive of the natural world. They seem to float in place on opposite sides of a large room that holds a painted 36 foot Labyrinth in the First United Methodist Church in Boulder, CO. They warmly invite you into this sacred space where the labyrinth is open to the community for walking meditation.
Each whole cloth banner is two layers. The front layer is hand painted on cotton by the artist; the back layer is hand dyed by the artist. Additional paint is stamped on the surface in some cases; machine embroidery and quilting.
