Plymouth Design: Coming Together

Now I felt I had enough real experience, both with the people of Plymouth Church, and with the symbols I had chosen, to make a meaningful design. I used a combination of labyrinth and Celtic knots found on the Internet and from books in the library, and several butterfly field guides, especially Bob Pyle's, and my own experience with butterflies since I was little. I also reflected back to time spent walking the Chartres-style labyrinth in the "baseball field" at Holden Village over the 10 years we lived there and through all the seasons.

Interested in painting? I work with oils, acrylics,watercolor, silk dye on silk, and stained glass. My work tends towards realism, a titch towards magic realism, and definitely towards the colorful and emotional.

Interested in public art? I work a lot with churches, as I believe that art can change the world. Churches at their best are venues for radical cultural change. My artistic goal in making art for churches is to help tie the rhythms, beauty and wisdom of sacred creation back into our humanly constructed sacred spaces.
