This act, I believe, was performed in strength and knowing- not weakness, but courage. \n\nShe left comfort, ease- the literal presence of God- to make our earthly existences possible, our opportunity for progression and exaltation. \n\nHeartache, pain, loss, tragedy, exhaustion, loneliness- costs we know from our life experience- bear witness to the peace, love, protection, rest, joy, and glory that is the presence of God.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Artist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn and raised in the mountains, Kristin Alley Carver is a graduate of the Fine Art (emphasis in printmaking) and Special Education programs through USU. Motherhood, nature, difficult experiences, and eternal questions inform much of her work.  Crafting images to answer questions, record memories and impressions is an essential daily practice. She finds the physicality, rich beauty of mark making, and the surprise of relief printmaking a fulfilling medium to write her heart upon. Art has given her the ability to transform, reveal, and highlight the beautiful and miraculous- it is her personal and most powerful connection to divinity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Altus Fine Art:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs individuals, we are all drawn, as Paul said, to seek after that which is pure, lovely, of good report, or praiseworthy.
