“Resting Place”
“Resting Place,” an art installation by married couple Tracie Cheng and Eóin Burke, focuses on the need all humans have to find rest. The artists ask, "We’re all looking for rest, but do we know what it looks like and when we’ve found it?" Cheng and Burke are interested in cultivating a life grounded in rest that accepts the limits of our circumstances, cherishes the regular moments, celebrates life, and takes time to observe and honor good work already done, in a world that has conditioned us to never stop moving and producing. Each of these pieces were created from their own personal journeys with rest and retreat, capturing the need to slow down and find presence. “Resting Place” is an invitation to quiet your mind and just observe.

“The Light Shines in the Darkness”
By Katie Nelson Troyer
Created in celebration of Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany, The Light Shines in the Darkness explored illumination, movement, and the quiet power of spiritual encounter. Through richly layered color, texture, and flowing forms, Katie Nelson Troyer’s paintings reflected on the presence of the Holy Spirit and Jesus as the Light of the World.
Her work invited viewers into moments of reflection, peace, and revelation, expressing the warmth of divine light, the breath of the Spirit, and the sense of being guided, comforted, and transformed.
