The Rapture
About the Art The Rapture is about the spiritual experience of becoming so at one with Spirit-God, that you are filled with a blinding ecstasy, a spiritual rapture that pours through your heart, mind and body. It’s so wonderful and powerful that it is almost physically painful. With it comes the experience of a love so pure and intense that nothing on earth could possibly compare. It can last for a few minutes or several hours. This first happened to me when I was 12 years old sending me on a lifelong journey of spiritual discovery which influences my art today.
Creating the Art In September of 2006 I invited my wonderful friend, Silana, to do an sunset photo session in La Jolla on a 800’ cliff overlooking the ocean. She loved the idea of creating spiritually uplifting art and was open to my vision. A few days before the shoot I had the idea to purchase 20 yards of sheer material. This turned out to be divine inspiration. The wind-blown, translucent fabric really captured the feeling of currents of spirit flowing around and through her. In all my art and even my commercial projects, I try to illustrate the divine in each of us. I hint at what it might be like in the beautiful realms we’ll live in when we leave this body behind and where we might travel in our spiritual dreams, prayers and meditations.
I create art by starting with photos, then combining them in different ways to create a window into a divine world. My background is in fine art, painting, photography and graphic design, so I bring all these sensibilities to bare in creating art. In Songs of Spirit - Sunset, I envision a sacred being overlooking the edge of a spiritual world, who is experiencing God’s love with such force that a spiritual wind blows through and around her.
