The Big Picture

The Oregon Cascade mountains became my muse in August of 2021. I fell in love with these peaks in ways I could never have imagined before starting the project. These specific 5 mountain peaks are located outside of Bend Oregon and their position on the flags represents how one could see them lined up from south to north if you were in Bend looking west.


Here are the prayers:

May we be grounded, serene and 

solid in the face of adversity.

May we stand in peaceful communion

with our neighbors.

May we be consistent, reliable 

and steadfast.

May our beauty and grace inspire

peace and tranquility.

May we have our head in the clouds

and remain firmly rooted 

simultaneously.

May we inspire others to reach for 

their highest goals.

May we be still and let the winds of 

change sculpt us into pinnacles

of beauty.

May we rise above current 

circumstances to seek a fresh 

perspective.

May we be patient and calm and 

allow change to happen 

in its own season.

May others feel freedom in our presence.
