About JKruis
An artist's statement is always evolving. Learning, maturity, experiences and dreams all have an impact and are part of the transforming process. I think you will see a variety of feelings in my work. Some will reflect my enjoyment of nature in my gardens, by the lakes and rivers, or as I travel in parts of Latin America visiting and doing business and community development. Faces capture me. Animals speak. I don't always understand the language but the messages of hope, despair, fear and dreaming call out. Lately a lot of QUESTIONS are coming to the surface so I am exploring them more. Through painting I share my journey of faith, thought and experiences. Through weaving (and doodling) I find a place of rest. Through sharing words, talks and teaching I find a way to encourage others, give life to possibilities and help heal brokeness.
My degree and experience brought me to business and ministry. My passion for creating and people has brought me to a life that lets me share from my heart.
I serve in outreach locally and in Latin America. To hear about the news and receive notification of gatherings or exhibitions...sign up for "My Creative Mission" newsletter.
