An extended visual meditation based on her own paintings, artist/author, Jody Stephenson, examines the artistic and spiritual processes that propel the creative life. From her first spiritual encounter, through relationships and rejections, disappointments and expectations, the life journey of the artist is explored. Woven through its pages are personal perspectives on the quest for perfection, vocation and depression, and living the life of faith in the world of art. A transparent look into the soul of an artist trying to make sense of the divine mystery in which we live, this book offers an audacious claim to be certain of the hope that is available to us all.
Jody Stephenson unveiled her new series of prophetic paintings and featuring her recently-published book Faltering Towards Perfection: Art, Faith, and Everything In Between. A new feature this year was works by the Christian Creative Writers Group that meets weekly at Studio 62.
