“An artist sees the shape of everyday things and finds more. Facial expressions are charged with nuance and energy. Abstract concepts like loneliness, joy, sorrow, and kindness are given weight like the pressure of wind against the human body. It is the same as musicians hearing pattern and music in everyday sound. Artists take it all in a flood of information in a language of color and individual interpretation.

The current art scene worldwide has taken on the role of pointing out problems and the depravity of man with no answer. When I became a believer, the answer was evident everywhere. There is a promise written into the design of everything. A God without boundaries created things for His pleasure and for ours. His design knows when to migrate, when to molt, when to sing, how to be, pointing always to its Creator. The changeability of light, the purple hue in shadows, the surprise of fragrance – nothing is nothing. Everything He has made whispers his name. I paint to try to understand my Maker and how He rescued me into His world. The longer I work, the more I realize I cannot grasp it. Staggering in wonder under the weight of it, I work and work, but there is still joy.”
