Artist Statement
I see my own life’s journey in this painting. The dark threads go in all directions, meeting dead-ends, weaving and back-tracking, yet moving onward.
There is a good balance of delightful colour indicating variety, overlapping with highlights of memorable happiness. Here and there are the sober pillars etched with unscripted scars gathered along the way: times for grieving, reflection and new direction. The movement and blending of the colours gives me a feeling of the presence of the Holy Spirit which accompanies me on my journey. The lamp beckons me onward.

This allegorical painting relates to my personal spiritual walk. It is about taking the first step of the journey, by stepping out of the boat of faith, as Peter did (Matt 14:29). Often I feel terrified yet I venture on trusting Jesus. My journey out of Past Traumatic Injury has necessitated walking through terror, in order to regain my trust in all aspects of life. As I step out, I trust God to assist me, but I am terrified another catastrophe may await me. I use some colours symbolically and in this case terror is conveyed by purple.

Having my father critically ill, recovering, and coming to live in our home with me as his carer, has influenced my work. Themes of the natural place of death in the cyclic journey through this place here on earth and on to the next home, are emerging.
