“Lighting the Way” is a departure from my usual process—an invitation into new materials, layered textures, and bolder symbolism. With figures emerging to the forefront and a patchwork of fabric and paint shaping the landscape, this piece explores the tension between uncertainty and guidance. It’s a visual reminder that even in moments of decision and unknown paths, we are not alone—light, faith, hope, and love continue to lead us forward.
