"Their art and the process of their art is an analogy of what the peace process aims to do: to find the things that bind us together as people beyond who we are right now. Their art expresses that which we might become together."

"Bringing two voices into harmony is not an easy thing, especially with something as individualistic as art. Chuck Hoffman and Peg Carlson-Hoffman are proof that it can work. Their co-creations, bold abstracts and color/texture studies, teach deeper lessons."

I've long admired Peg and Chuck's work because it isn't art for art's sake. It transcends color and line and form to become an integral part of rite, ritual and transformation. These two people capture the duality of life and unify it into a greater, third way of being. I'm honored they created this artwork for me.

"Making art is the highest form of hope" is how artist chuck Hoffman describes his work with Genesis+Art Studio. Peg Carlson-Hoffman adds, "Exploring the Alpha and Omega in paint becomes a form of prayer and meditation, that in-between place where I go to meet God." Chuck Hoffman and his wife and partner Peg Carlson-Hoffman are exhibiting artists in Gifts 2009, an open-studio exhibition of the Artists Registry. The exhibition was organized by the Episcopal church of the Visual Arts. http://www.episcopalcafe.com/art/2009/06/

LUTHER SEMINARY: THE STORY
SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA SPRING 2009
This spring Luther showcases "works of reconciliation", an exhibit by Chuck Hoffman and Peg Hoffman. The Hoffman's explore relationships between art and faith, and understand prayer and art as ways to share a deeper understanding of self and community. Their faith is so deeply woven into their work that before they begin a new painting each canvas in inscribed with a prayer, a process they describe as "permanently fusing the prayer and painting." Named Genesis+Art, it draws from the common elements of the creation story.
