Oil on Canvas | 36 × 48
I was raised in the Appalachian mountains and call the foothills of North Carolina home. Growing up, Christianity was a club I was not a member of. As an adult, the grip Evangelicalism has on the area has become overwhelmingly apparent. The mountains are home, they hold you and can comfort the soul. Leaving is not an option. So painting is my only recourse. This piece symbolizes the hold Evangelicalism has on my home, creating the feeling of being outside the circle.
