This is all new to me and I don't know how it works, but just to try it out....Living in Matagalpa, Nicaragua sometimes seems at the far end of the world, but in 2007 I took a painting class, at 72 years of age, and last year had my first art exhibit at the local library. We have lived in Nicaragua 26 years, and the people and culture and scenery have become embedded in our minds and hearts - my husband Jim, retired, with lathe woodworking and trying his hand at wood carving, and me with painting, first from photographs of our morning walks, and of things I like, and more recently of my impressions while in prayer or doodles during sermons. This latter was inspired by Thomas Merton and his calligraphies, but I add color, mixed media on mulberry papers. It is exciting to have this way to become connected with other artists and to share God's gift to me with you...
