Journeying With Hope – A Series
Media: Acrylic and tempera on paper. This is a series of three paintings that I made throughout this year. The first one, “Entering With Hope”, was made in February – it’s all about beginning a journey into the unknown, hoping the passage will turn out positively. It’s about novelty, excitement, and above all, trust. The…

He Watches Me – Dance Piece.
I am highly experienced in worrying. I imagine many who read this entry might also have dealt with it. For as long as I can remember, there has always been at least one thing in my life that provoked my system to respond in fear – whether fleeing, fighting or freezing. I’m all too familiar…

Kalokairi
Media: Acrylic and tempera on paper. Summer is such a lovely season. The sun shines, the skies are bright, the days are fun, and the nights are long. This painting in particular is inspired by some flowers that I saw planted in my great-aunt’s garden when I visited her in Greece in the…

Acrostic Poem #3
H elpless and bereaved, navigating the storm inside me O pressed by fear and confusion P ainfully shaking, trembling in anguish E rratic in my thoughts, stumbling in my ways F aithfully He appeared again, peacefully reigning over the U ndulating waves, which He calmed with just one word L ovingly, He pulled me from…

Acrostic Poem #2
B orn from the dust R isen up by His Spirit of life E lated in His glorious presence, until A based because of sin, broken in loneliness, we became T emerous of His words, disappointed in our guilt, and banished forever H owever, the Author of life wouldn’t end our story in direness I…

Acrostic Poem #1
S earching He came A gainst every obstacle, against death itself V ictoriously He overcame, and put an end to E very sin that kept us apart D issipating the darkness, with His glorious light, to find me and give me life

Ein Heller Tag
Media: Tempera and acrylic on paper This painting is titled ‘Ein Heller Tag’, meaning, ‘A Bright Day’ in German. I chose that name because the painting is inspired by a picture that I took of some flowers in the town of Warendorff, Germany when I visited there in 2021. The painting itself isn’t exactly ‘perfect’,…
