January 2021: 

It was gloomy January day in Erie PA. My one year old at the time had been teething for over a week, and I missed everything that used to be before I was a mom. I handed her over to my husband and left the house in an emotional whirlwind, I simply needed a moment. After spending some time on the beach collecting rocks for painting inspiration, I sat down and started to pray. "God please, I'm tired, show me you hear me." Some minutes later, the sun hit the water in a new way, and I could feel the warmth on my back. I turned and saw the sun break through the clouds for what seemed to be the first time in weeks. I took a photo, and used it as the reference for this piece so that I could always remember an answered prayer. 

About the Series: 

Holy moments is a body of work based on divine encounters in nature. The titles of the works are the location and date of each encounter. 

When I'm outside, my mind can quiet and awe for the beauty of creation takes over. The lines of this world and the spiritual realm disappear, and I find myself expectantly or unexpectedly in the presence of God.

Each piece is a digitally rendered photograph, printed on a large format transparency that creates a cyanotype in the sun. After the cyanotype is developed, it becomes an underpainting for glazes of watercolor, pigment and organic dyes. The process itself is ritualistic, allowing for prayerful meditation over the unique story and purpose behind each piece.
