Reflects Genny:
"This piece was once destined for the discard pile, until a quiet voice stirred in my heart: "I can take what feels beyond saving and make it beautiful."  What emerged was a galaxy filled with light, wonder and the hidden strength of a lion, just like the transformation unfolding in my own life.  This painting is a reminder to trust the One who turns ashes into beauty and brings purpose out of what we thought was lost."

Genny has had a passion for art all her life.  She started painting in high school and graduated from Bismarck State College as a Commercial Artist. She worked in Commercial Art for Advertising for most of her life.  She is inspired by the beauty of nature.  When she retired, she wanted to give the love of art to others.  We are so fortunate to share in her artistic talent at the Dream Center!
