Beauty for Ashes - True Colors

This mixed media on canvas is an impressive 4 feet by 5 feet. Though the image is of three women, it is actually of one. She has been hidden, hiding away, and rusting, waiting for the moment to come into her own. As her strength grows, she begins to face the viewer, ready to step into her calling, revealing her "True Colors." The inspiration is Maria Woodworth Etter, the mother of the Pentecostal movement, "May the Spirit of God come upon you and make you willing to do the work the Lord has assigned to you. It is high time for women to let their lights shine; to bring out their hidden talents that have been rusting away and use them for the glory of God, and to do with their might what their hands find to do." Be mighty!
