<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Influences: Artistically, I have always admired artists such as Henry Matisse and Chuck Close. Towards the end of his life, Matisse couldn't paint anymore, so he developed his Cut-out Series as a way to express himself artistically. Chuck Close suffered a stroke, and instead of giving up on painting, he found a way to create art in spite of his physical disabilities caused by the stroke. Recently, I heard about the artist Phil Hansen, who gave the talk at the TED conference, entitled, 'Embracing the Shake." Hansen developed a shake in his drawing hand, which limited his way of creating art, but opened his mind to think of art differently. He created different styles and mediums of art. This is what all these three artists have in common. When faced with adversity, each artist accepted their limitations and also embraced, adapted and enhanced their creativity. They made their weakness their strength artistically. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Spiritually, I would say one of my biggest influences is the Church@Southland, who I consider my church family. Its pastors and members continuously provide me with love, patience and guidance. I listen weekly to the broadcasts of James MacDonald and Louie Giglio. In addition, I also read, watch and seek various sources online as a way of spiritual growth. Of course, my biggest influence is the Bible. It's where and when God speaks directly to me, for me. </span></div>

Greetings:<br />
These last few months I've been working on books that document my own journey as a Christ follower. I hope to lead others to Christ. This new creative adventure began when a friend at church asked for pictures for his website. He wanted pictures of beautiful landscapes to attach biblical verses to help spread the message of Christ on his website. I worked up a few images then quickly sent them off to my friend. It was then, after I began googling that I discovered most spiritual websites looked about the same using this same format. Although I did like these sites, I thought maybe there should be something else out there? About this same time, I was experimenting by writing some poetry. I thought, 'how would my poetry look with a graphic?' As I decided on the graphic, which one would look best with the poetry that I just written, I also began searching more websites, books and even traveled to a book store. Yes, I actually went to a book store!! Granted the digital age is great but isn't it sometimes so nice to actual feel the pages of an actual book? Naturally I went straight to the 'Spiritual/Religious' section in the store, only to discover that what I envisioned wasn't already out there. I would like to say that when I was first creating, picking out the biblical verses and designing the photographs/graphics for the books all that I created was amazing. The told be told, it was just down right awful but I kept working on it. I knew God was leading me somewhere. I knew I would get better in time and I did. Soon what I envisioned came to life. As of today's date, I have written four books. First beginning in the format of 7x7 and then changing to a pocket version. I like the pocket version so much better. I am learning and growing as a Christ follower. <br />
Listed below are links to the books that I have created. Two of the books are available as a PDF. <br />

<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">"Today I’ve been working on an art project to teach a group of seniors touring an art gallery. The exhibit currently on display, called <b><i>Entrances and Exits</i></b>, deals with opportunities granted, lost and/or explored. In other words, the exhibit illustrates the doorways or entranceways into someone’s heart. Jesus enters our hearts when we ask. He first chooses us, but we must, in His timing, open the door for Him to enter our lives. To me, this happened in my late forties. One doorway for me was the Church @ Southland. This is the church I have always dreamed of, a place with contemporary worship music and relatable bible based sermons preached meaningfully with love and truth.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">This is my fourth book and perhaps it is time for me to introduce myself, tell you who I am. Basically the answer to that particular question is simple, I am a Child of the King. With Him these books are possible. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">It’s my way of using artistic talent to help give my testimony. I show my love for Christ in books by combining poetry and graphic art that expresses my thoughts and concepts. The concept of these books is very simplistic as well; we are all incomplete until we acknowledge Jesus as our savior. Similar to puzzle pieces, we are shattered, and almost shattered into a meaningless existence, without the love of God. Throughout all four books, I have displayed pieces of a puzzle. We are not whole without Christ’s love. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">So perhaps this book is your doorway, your entranceway into accepting Jesus into your heart. If so, then my prayers have been answered. Regardless of your intentions, this book should turn out to be a pleasant read: large print, enjoyable graphics and complex concepts disguised in simplicity. </span></div>

<br />The three artworks I have posted are part of the new series and also part of a new movement I will like to express as Art in the WORD. Let me please define. The movement's mission is to create artistic expression that glorifies God. Creating Art that is considered Vertical as defined by James MacDonald in his recently published book entitled, Vertical Church. I am adapting MacDonald's four pillars as my own in how I will for now on express artistic expression <div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">1. Unashamed adoration- expressing treasure of God in artistic means</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">2. Preaching- communicating God's Word in truth, mercy, & grace. </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">3. Evangelism- expressing God's Glory without giving myself, the artist praise but praising the Lord</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">4. Prayer- creating an expression to build a relationship with Christ. Then process or prayer at which</span></span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">‘D’- The art piece entitled, ‘Death’ questions the boundaries of death and the life we live because one of the things that cannot be replaced is ‘time.’ So I naturally question, define and explore life/death and its meaning. </span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">McGarel’s predilection for abstract art is revealed in the preponderance of grids and fragmentation. This technique offers the viewer their own personal mode of expression; offering an unlimited vision to the viewer. McGarel’s art combines digital prints of her own creation and texture paints. </span></div>

Here is the first finished piece of the series exploring one's boundaries.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px; font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span>
<div>
<div style="font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">The piece entitled, Emotions, represents the emotions of one’s private pain. Those moments when we ask ourselves, 'can this emotional whole ever be filled?' Can there ever be comfort? If so, then by how and what will heal the pain, your particular individual pain? These are the questions that I personally explored while completing this art piece for the series entitled, BORDERLESS. Each piece in the series explore one aspect of borders close up and personal. </span></div>

Both the digital and mixed-media effect invites the viewer (or critic) to observe or interpret the works, by offering infinite possibilities without limitations. In my latest work, I am adding more realism and as such are using more photography in the art work. </span></span></div>

In my adult life, I have been highly influenced by brothers Doug and Mike Starn. They were the first to introduce me to the notion that photography like paint should have a tactile component. Photography can be felt as well as just viewed by the viewer. As such, I have incorporated texture in my works by surrounding the torn digital prints with paints, sand and other materials. Other artists I admire are Chuck Close and Henri Mattise who when faced with human frailty did not let their handicaps cripple them. They creatively endured and even strived to overcome adversity, and in the process enhanced their art works.</span></span></div>
