Grace occurs daily in the course of ordinary human life. The voice of one’s own conscience can be that of God or some other heavenly agents, offering each of us the guidance needed for understanding and for action in this complicated world.
James Christensen’s Still Small Voices is something of a leap of faith for the artist. Known for his tightly rendered “poofy” characters and beautiful women, this work is about as close to an abstract painting as Christensen has ventured. “I think the style of the painting matches the ethereal nature of the subject,” he says. “Still small voices come at us from many directions and are always there if we are prepared to hear them. I covered the eyes of the figure to remind us that with such acts of grace, it is not important that we ‘see’ in order to hear. We have to live our lives in a fashion that enables a communication we can feel.”
