The Story of "Deeper"

3/24/2019

On exhibit March 15 - June 4, 2019
at the Herberger Theater Center & Gallery, 222 E. Monroe St., Phoenix, Arizona

"Deeper" was created after a long, emotionally difficult season in my life; during my Mom's battle with cancer.

In those early days of grief, I had such a deep sense of loss that seemed to me to be too overwhelming to even face. One day, during a time of quietness, I was inspired to create this painting which captured my feelings of painful loss and a darkness that seemed so deep. But as I painted, I was surprised at the beautiful glow that emerged from the water. I immediately felt a hope rise in my soul, that continued to bring me back into the joys of life.

Hope can be found in even the deepest, darkest places.

I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your story about your art journey on the Matt Tommey mentoring site. I also love your work. Specifically I love to hear how God lead you through your journey. I am beginning my journey. I love your recently posted work "Deeper". I am caring for my aging mother. She is just aging without any particular illness. I has been very very difficult to watch the aging process. She is a believer. I thank you for sharing your grief as it helps me walk through mine. Please feel free to email me. Blessings, Rose
