Bread For The World
What does a world without hunger look like? It looks like everyone having the nutritious meals they need to flourish. Churches, charities, food banks, and non-profit organizations cannot get there alone. Government programs and policies play an important role too.
Federal domestic nutrition programs such as SNAP (formerly known as food stamps), Women, Infants, and Children Program (WIC), and the school lunch program are just a few examples. These programs keep millions of Americans from going hungry. International humanitarian assistance responds to natural and human-caused disasters (the Indian Ocean tsunami, for example) and ongoing worldwide crises such as the situation in Syria. MORE

Phyllis Thomas
(Visual Translator - Cru)
My art-making is an intentional process combining conceptual and thematic images which begin with a thoughtful response to an object, nature, a book, biblical text or music. More often than not it is a spiritual meditation inspired by biblical texts informed by dictionaries, commentaries and historical research. I keep obliterating shapes until I find the bare elements that translate and summarize my personal insights through note-taking, observation and sketches. Almost iconic in essence, my work becomes a symbol or sign extracted from the words I have read and studied.
My primary mediums are fluid acrylics and watercolor on paper or canvas. The renderings are often enhanced with stitched thread, embossing and gold or silver leaf which have the effect of slowing me down and reflecting on the piece as I work--letting it do something to me while I am doing something to it which completes the cycle of my art-making process.
