I studied art since childhood but it was at Texas Tech University where I developed my artistic abilities more deeply. My art has been published in a literary magazine and has been in several expositions. </div><div align="left"><br />I believe that Beauty is the God-given vocation of artists. My art is an expression of my own personal search and encounter with the Trinity, fountain of all Beauty. It also seeks to provide for others a place of encounter with the “Beauty ever ancient, ever new.” I explore both the joy and the agony of longing for such an encounter. </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2495551635815353599-4325641029350392435?l=alimata.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Alaide Matahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13724092897654674941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495551635815353599.post-13027759584376614482009-05-14T09:56:00.000-07:002009-05-14T10:12:53.355-07:00<div align="center"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aADn5jJk8PU/SgxQxTs-HTI/AAAAAAAAABM/Sxp-bjHZBVk/s1600-h/n16716223_30722052_604.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335728466559900978" style="DISPLAY: block;
