His Glory Fills the Earth!

How am I focusing on my purpose in retirement? I purchased a 35mm camera to learn new photography skills for ministry and to promote missions! These 4x6 prints are displayed in a 5x7 mat which is signed, titled, and feature scripture I associate with the photograph. They are available if you contact me!
My hope is that they bring Biblical encouragement to your heart!

Wiregrass Art Guild

Douglas, Georgia

I am also exploring other genres of art as a member of the Wiregrass Art Guild!

The Carnegie Library Art Show

May-June 2026 in Fitzgerald, Georgia

The Wiregrass Art Guild was asked to send 30-50 pieces for display in this art show!
I am excited to show this collection of my painted paper collages and mono-prints! The Fitzgerald Ben Hill Art Council hosted a beautiful reception for the community celebrating our art!

"Dream Maker Way" (fourth from the left) is a poster designed from a series of pro-bono art pieces commissioned by Hope for Coffee for nine families who lost their homes during Hurricane Helene. New houses were built by teams of Amish and Mennonite volunteers creating a new neighborhood in Douglas called Sims Park. I was honored to create a piece of art for each family's that uniquely depicts their new home with their neighbors on either side...celebrating God's gracious gifts of both shelter and community! Eight of those homes are situated on Dream Maker Way!

39th Annual Spring Into Art Exhibition

The Annette Howell Turner Center for the Arts

April 13-June 10, 2026 in Valdosta, GA

The Annual Spring Into Art Exhibition provides visual artists of all skill levels an open invitation to participate in the region's foremost art exhibition! The kick-off gala was exquisite! I was very excited to participate for the first time this year!

ReImagine Art Show Classes

Free classes were offered to local residents at the Satilla Public Library in Douglas, Georgia during the months of October and November 2025 as part of Georgia's Reimagine Traveling Art Exhibit! Classes were taught by members of the Wiregrass Art Guild.

I had the pleasure of teaching classes on Gelli plate printing! We had a lot of fun and my students created beautiful mono-prints! On the last day, my students used some of their prints to create amazing collage art!
I was also able to take several classes myself including painting barn quilts, advanced photography, hand-building with clay, and basket weaving!

,The Satilla Regional Library and the Wiregrass Art Guild hosted a culminating event for the community to showcase the work done by students in the different classes! Some of the student work is pictured here!

Hope for Coffee Art Prints

Hurricane Helene brought unprecedented devastation, heartbreak and loss to the residents of Coffee County and surrounding communities in September 2024. Local churches and leaders have since united to provide disaster relief and hope through a faith-based organization called Hope For Coffee (HFC).
I was blessed to be able to create a mixed media piece by the same name that represents that stormy night and the days following. Watercolor relief depicts the violent wind and rain. Chainsaw blades that were used to clear away fallen trees were salvaged and shaped into pine trees. From these, mono-prints were lifted and pasted into place to appear as the memories we share of our landscape before the storm. Watercolor pigment was mixed with coffee to create our teardrops. Finally, the rising sun depicts the hope coming from the Lord through the hearts and hands of people near and far who are sacrificially working to restore us. We are thankful.
I am offering these prints in exchange for donations to Hope For Coffee (HFC).

“But as for me, I will hope continually, and will praise You yet more and more.” Psalm 71:14
