Large wall art is a speciality of mine and I love creating big works of art. Large canvas cityscapes are often a fusion of ideas. This one was inspired by a monastery dedicated to Saint Basil of Ostrog in Montenegro. The monastery building stands strong nestled into the rock. It is a magnificent feat of architecture. I then imagined Saint Pauls Cathedral in the same way as a rock and symbolic of my faith. The title of the art is self explanatory “God is my rock and fortress”. “From another land” and “Going with the eagles” also came to mind as possible titles, as I painted. The monastery is high in the rock, and eagles can soar around it. The london buildings are there but only in texture so the work at first glance appears as landscape art not a cityscape. Layers of depth visually and in the thinking behind a painting is the essence of how I create large wall art. This is an abstract city and landscape fusion. Inspired by a place that brings heaven to earth. To see images and read more about St Basil.
My favourite piece of scripture
My favourite piece of scripture which gets me through many a hard time is taken from Isaiah 40:31. “Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles.” My testimony is to know God will be your rock and fortress in trials and that He is there in challenging situations. When I waiver in faith I cry out to the saints to pray to God for me as they became my family in desolate times, especially during the wilderness of life issues.
Sensitivity as an Artist channelled into creativity
My sensitivity as an artist has been a great gift, and I’m very thankful. Art became my quiet inner voice. I would encourage everyone to be creative in any form. It is a great outlet for emotion. I generally paint when I am happy or peaceful or use it as a tool to become that way. The process of creativity is the result, not the final product. However, when it works well, both are in cohesive alignment.
