GOD IN NATURE: THE SPIRIT OF PLACE
As an artist, I continue expressing my personal relationship with my ancestral heritage in Northeastern Maryland, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania and Southwestern, Virginia.
Our lives are a perceived travel into places where the “Spirit of Place” touches our being.
Currently, I introduced the crow into my work as a metaphor of myself.
The crow represents itself in proportion of vastness of the landscape. The crow knows.
As the crow, I have traveled from early in life through Maryland into the Shenandoah Valley and landed at my grandparents farm in Whitetop, Virginia nesting in 1981.
Taking flight again in 2005, I returned to the land of my Father, in Berkley Maryland, where the flight originally began.
“The Spirit of Place” in my work continues with respect to God in nature. The crow flies into the dawn of a new day.
