Forgiveness Exposed

Forgiveness is an exchange between beings. A grace that is deep at our core and part of our nature. A gift that has the power to heal and mend the broken or bring peace to those that are longing. A process that has been very raw and difficult for me personally as I heal from a psychological injury. It remains a significant part of all life, always, not just mine.
Jesus showed us Forgiveness. He gave us the power to Forgive others. He died so we are Forgiven.

In my artwork we have two beings… embracing and emotional. Raw in their grievances and vulnerable to one another as they experience this exchange. They are two beings that ARE nature, they are HIS creation. Both of them….being as real with each other as the native plants and flowers that make them. They also harness the symbolic…. The butterfly wings - a powerful message of transformation, The couple in love pictured on her body - a new relationship born from forgiveness, The birds in their hair - freedom and hope in new beginnings, The lines on their faces - a road travelled, The yarn in their hair - the artfulness of being held together by art itself.
Their inner journey exposed for us to see in its raw beauty.
