Many of my paintings evolve from the processing of my thoughts. This particular painting was created out of a desire to paint a "visual reminder" for myself, that God WILL provide.

In the bible, there is a story about a man who wanted to live hislife to honor God. He had lived long enough to see and experience some of Gods ways, but imagine what was going on in Abraham's mind when he was taking his son, and wood for a fire, up the mountain to ffer a sacrifice to God. Imagine your son asking you "Dad, where is the lamb for the sacrifice?"i

After all that Abraham and his wife had been through... waiting and longing for children for such a long time, who would have ever imagined that now he would even consider offering back to God, the very thing he had longed for, and had been given. Abraham is being obedient to do what he feels God has called him to do.... even though he does not know the end result.

Was he full of fear... questioning... thinking the worst?? He steadfastly continued on in what he felt called to do.

Thoughout his life in scripture, Abraham had received several promises from God. God promised him land, numerous descendants, blessings "for" him and his descendents, and blessing "through" him for all nations. Abraham had already experienced one promise of God, but not without a very long wait.

Maybe you can relate. Have you been waiting for so long.... praying for, and desiring something in your life that does not seem to be coming to fruition?

In the end, God provides a ram in the thicket for Abraham to sacrifice on the alter.

Heather Lockhart was born and raised in Sarnia ON Canada, where she currently resides. Her passion for the arts started at a very young age. She recalls a love for “all things creative” from as far back as her
memory serves, even choosing to stand and watch “artists at work” in theme parks, over exhilarating rides.
While studying her artistic journey, she discovered that she had always been attracted to contemporary, abstract things. She enjoys modern architecture, gestural sculptures, organic shapes, textures,
and loose abstract paintings, all of which can be found throughout her home today.
Her “breadcrumb” story of how she returned to her artistic roots is told with excitement and
passion. She is inspired by her spiritual life, the great outdoors, and the beauty of all creation.
It is not uncommon to find her wandering through the woods or along the ocean shore collecting organically shaped pieces of sea fan, textured coral, interesting pods, etc., always thinking about their beauty, and how she can incorporate them into her work.
This artist does not like to be confined to any one subject, but rather uses her love of texture,
layers, movement and color, to create unique works in many different genres.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT

Through the use of textural substances, mark making, movement and color, I create acrylic mixed media paintings in many different genres, both
abstract and representational.
My inquisitive and experimental nature often produces “unpredictable results”, bringing excitement, and at times turning my practice into an
exploratory study that leads to the most interesting and unique works.
Inspiration often comes from a song lyric or verse that has been ruminating in my mind, and can sometimes be found embedded within the work.
Creating is a contemplative practice that allows me to reach deep within myself to express meaningful thoughts, aspirations, and life challenges, all
the while pursuing what I ultimately long for… “Freedom”.
My desire is to create beautiful contemporary art that expresses my voice
and draws its viewers into deeper reflection through the work.
