Artist, Grace Carol Bomer, describes her process: “My paintings combine abstraction and realism, because both the visible and the invisible world are real. I incorporate images, a line of poetry, embedded papers, or wax, and paint to create metaphors that point to this invisible reality and to the Incarnation which made visible the invisible!”

“Bending or hesed love is love that is humble and serves others. It is steady and everlasting. It is not “stiff-necked” or proud. It refers to bending down from the neck. It describes the love of God.”—Grace Carol Bomer
