Resurrection 3 by GJ Gillespie.
January 11, 2023
Dear GJ Gillespie,
Thank you for sending along your work. It was a genuine joy to view your art. 

Your pieces are dynamic--their varying textures, shades, and color patterns give each piece a vivid sense of movement.
The clear insistence on the human form matched with the abstract nature of your materials and backgrounds results in work that is at once deeply human and entirely spiritual. These pieces are lovely.
We were particularly drawn to the following pieces: "Something in the Way", "Kyrie Eleison Blue,” "Resurrection 3,” "Angelus," and "Three Angels." 

With your permission, we would love to use "Resurrection 3” as the cover for our forthcoming Winter issue of Letters .
Do let us know if this is all agreeable with you.
Thank you, again, for sharing your art with us.
All the best,
Alexandra Marie Green, Managing Editor
