Yea Though I Walk

We all have trials and tribulations. Many of us have been exposed to the worst a human being can deliver and all the grey area in between. I for one was clinically suicidal for 30 years. Somehow though I always believed. Believed there was more. I was just walking around a corner and soon I would reach the end of it and a lush valley would open up before me. And so it did. And so it may have for you already. And if it hasn't just yet, I urge you to walk with conviction, power, and expectancy. Walk upright knowing that you will be delivered in triumph by forces far greater than you and far greater than those who would seek to harm you.
And no, I'm not a religious person, but every day I thank God for keeping me strong and delivering me. I almost always weep with gratitude as I do. I know that Power. I have seen many tremendous examples of it that the human brain cannot grasp. It simply cannot be interpreted by logic. I am a living witness to that Power, its healing and its deliverance.

Collected both nationally and internationally New Zealand born Australian based multi award-winning artist Jo S. Stacey has work held in private collections in six countries across the globe. Her work has also been leased privately to help showcase multi-million dollar properties here in Australia. In 2023 her piece "Three Clydes" won best in show (AU$1,000) at the Sydney Royal Easter Show, and "Not Through Me" won the figurative section (AU$2,000). This year her work "Behind These Eyes" won best in show at the 1770 Art Show judged by Queensland Art Gallery and Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA) Assistant Director Tarragh Cunningham (AU$5,000).
Jo is faith driven with a passion for life and is inspired by simple moments in time that present themselves to us at any given moment. These brushes with life often feel magical or profound, and yet appear in seemingly ordinary environments to the watchful eye and waiting spirit. Sometimes they materialise in the back garden, a street corner, down at the beach while riding the horse, in our dreams or even in a conversation. These moments and conversations often feature in her work. We hope you enjoy.
