| About the Artist | |
WelcomeWelcome to my home on the web. I'm glad you dropped by.I live in the Hunter Valley in NSW Australia with the love of my life - Darrell. We have been married for 20 years and look forward to the next 20 with anticipation. We are blessed with one daughter whom we home school. Our home is filled with pets and creative projects. There is never a dull (or tidy) moment here! You can email me via my contact page. I would love to hear from you. Bernie Current WorkI love to observe and draw the beauty of nature. I am always attracted to the little details. I hope that when you look at my artwork you feel closer to nature and to our wonderful, amazing artist-Creator God. I hope you feel a fresh desire to slow down and take in the beauty that is all around us.This year I am working on a series of mixed media artist books. I have always had a fetish for books. Don't you just love the smell of the paper and the anticipation of turning the page, not knowing what treasure lies ahead, whether it be in word or image? A book can sit on our shelf for years before we take the time to open it. Sometimes a whole new world is waiting for us between the covers. I have been collecting ideas and treasures for years......special papers, gold threads, feathers, beads, twigs, leaf skeletons, hand dyed and spun fibres............. Unspoken Truth is the title of the book I am currently working on. It will have images of a tree, feather, bird, egg, nest, clouds, seedpods, flowers and perhaps more. It is always a joy to play with the text using inks, watercolour and other media. There is something so ancient about the written word. Jesus, the Word became a man and lived on Earth with us. The text for Unspoken Truth is from Psalm 19 (The Message) Their words aren't heard, their voices aren't recorded, but their silence fills the earth; unspoken truth is spoken everywhere. That's how God's word vaults across the skies from sunrise to sunset, melting ice, scorching deserts, warming hearts to faith. Please drop by again.
