              From Darkness Into Light
​                We Renew Our Faith

This work symbolizes  a journey of discovery. Today's world is so filled with horror, apathy, and terror. It takes all our strength to find the faith within ourselves, to find the goodness. This piece was created to ask each of us to seek their own Light, whatever it may be that gives them strength. I used amethyst for healing, quartz to reach back to dissolve our anger, and chalcedony to open our minds to new ideas and acceptance. I chose to work with the color purple because it symbolizes spiritual fulfillment and peace of mind. The 2 figures in this piece are open to your interpretation. It can be parent and child, teacher and student, religious or spiritual guides. 
Materials used to create this 18"x12" wall piece include raw amethyst,chalcedony, quartz wands, aventorine, smelt, glass, quartz slices, kata polyclay, reclaimed glass and wood, granite,celenite, and jasper.
