I have always loved a rainbow...Natural phenomena as a universal symbol of hope that appears after the harshest of conditions... a promise of beauty to come.

This series represents my lived experience of walking the ancient pilgrimage trails of El Camino de Santiago from Portugal to Spain. While on the Camino, I was able to fill a small sketchbook of impressions and drawings. After returning to home and studio I have enjoyed fleshing out the simple drawings into a series of paintings that encompass the physical and spiritual experience - sharing how it felt to be there.
