About Penny Gordon-Chumbley<\/strong><\/p>\n

C<\/span>reating has been a part of my life, even as a little girl. As I drew what was around me, I knew I wanted to grow up and be an artist. But I allowed other priorities to get in the way, having been taught that the only way to glorify God was to work in certain professions, such as teaching or social work. I sublimated my desire to draw and paint until I just couldn\u2019t stand it any longer.<\/p>\n

Learning to see, really see, the world through the eyes of an artist came to me later in life. When my only child graduated from high school, an inner voice, a Godly voice said, \u201cYou need <\/em>to paint.\u201d The voice was right; thankfully, I listened and responded. For five years, I studied with academic painters at a local university and then, tentatively, left that cocoon and created my own studio. I\u2019ve never looked back.<\/p>\n

As an artist, I strive to see the beautiful in the ordinary. Through my work, I \u201cpractice the presence of God\u201d as blessed Brother Lawrence wrote. I see vivid colors and lively shapes in the mundane or that which is taken for granted. I often paint food, or the ingredients of food, believing that food is a sacred gift, not to be overlooked or ignored.<\/p>\n

I use nature as my starting-point. Knowing God as the ultimate creator, I don\u2019t seek to replicate what I see in nature, but to respond to it emotionally.\u00a0 I try to paint the joy and the wonder and the excitement I see in creation.<\/p>\n
