  • Warren Sylvester

    BETHESDA WORSHIP PASTOR

    Warren, also known as WARSYLIVE, is a presence-driven artist who seeks to creatively model a distinct mode of worship that is New Covenant oriented, celebrating and articulating our already present union with Christ, the liberating finished work of the cross and our existing inclusion in the life of the Trinity. Warren has released two albums (“Get in This Cloud” and “Gethsemane, Vol. 1”) and several singles, including his latest song, “Still.” Having traveled internationally and worked with a number of worship groups and recording projects, Warren now lives in Vancouver, WA, where he serves as worship pastor of Bethesda Church and enjoys the Pacific Northwest with his two children.

  • Amy Donaldson

    FINE ART PAINTER

    Evident in each passionate and vibrant composition is Donaldson’s strong sense of color and depth of feeling for space and light. This is achieved by her fusion of crushed, powdered, natural pigments with oil paint that are applied in a freely expressive manner. Using tools other than traditional brushes she attacks the surface of the canvas in a direct approach that is additive and subtractive—a process one may associate with sculpture as much as with painting. She lays down luscious, pliant marks across the surface, then scrapes areas of the composition back, then vigorously adds and scrapes again to achieve her goal. Her range of expression comprises the appearance of timeworn erosion of an aging city to the seemingly endless atmospheric depth cloaking a horizon in a hazy light. Sometimes elements of graffiti appear, their looping letters cutting through the roughly layered surface like traces of humanity on aging city walls or an ecstatic cry to the heavens splitting the sky.
