A few months ago, Arthur Rainville set himself on the difficult task of finding and documenting my spirit. I don't say difficult because my spirit is hidden - rather difficult because I'm a rather complex person. There are so many aspects of my personality that you might say I'm complicated. Of course, many of you are the same way.
Through a great process of interview, looking through artwork and questioning others who are close to me, Arthur set out on the great venture with renewed interest. As the process went further, he became a bit confused by my inconsistencies in what I said I liked and what I didn't.
This is all part of The Grace Project -- discovering the beauty and grace that lies within each of us and celebrating it in a beautiful piece of art to enjoy and treasure. This is not a work of art that I will print into 8x10's and pass out to my family, rather, this is one that I can study and look deep into my spirit to remember what's important - on those days that life seems overwhelming and gets away from me.
I will treasure this portrait forever and the process that I went through to get there. It was a time of serendipity.. a personal retreat that will live in my heart for years to come.
