Artist Statement
Formed from clay, inspired by divine breath and delivered in grace.  Uniquely created to carry and pour out love; still fragile in our humanness.
God Is Calling . . .
Calling us to healing. Calling us to relationship. Calling us to one another. Calling us to LOVE.
God is Calling . . . Can you Hear?
