Plight

Inspiration Behind “Plight”

Plight is a deeply personal and symbolic work — an angel rendered in a stained glass style, standing not just as a figure of light, but of endurance, purpose, and faith.

Created with acrylic and oil on a large 48"L x 60"H gallery-wrapped canvas, this piece carries texture, story, and quiet power. The background holds a sacred layer — pages from the Bible carefully integrated into the composition. Painted over with a transparent technique, fragments of scripture still emerge through the paint, as if softly speaking.

This angel doesn’t float above the struggle — it stands within it, luminous but grounded. The title, Plight, reflects both human vulnerability and spiritual strength — a reminder that light and burden often exist side by side.

Every brushstroke, every chosen verse, is part of a larger message: that even in trial, beauty is born. That divinity can be found in the layered and imperfect.

This original piece is ready to hang and designed to speak — to hearts, to homes, to sacred spaces.
