To that end, I try to incorporate a great amount of symbolism in my work. I start with the symbolism of the flower I’ve chosen to draw and consider how I can relate that symbolism to Christ or my Christian faith. Then I begin to select traditional Celtic motifs that I can incorporate into an original Celtic cross design. While historians have been unable to definitively determine what the various Celtic knots and patterns meant in Celtic culture, over the years, these designs have been attributed with various meanings and symbolisms. (You can read my post about those symbolisms here.) As I design each artwork, I work to select Celtic knots and patterns which have been attributed with meanings that I can merge with the symbolism of the flower I’ve chosen in an effort to communicate that message of the light, love, and hope of Christ in a world that can often be very dark.
You are loved with an EVERLASTING love!
– Jeremiah 31:3
Thanks for spending part of your day with me!
Thanks for the ravishing bouquets. I definitely like the way
you have tied these lovely pieces to your faith.
Thanks, again!
Thank you so much, Melita! I really appreciate your kind words. The message of the love of Christ is such an important one to share. I’m so glad to have been given the opportunity to do that through artwork that I love. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts!!
