ABOUT
"Painting is a form of gratitude for the gift I have received and serves as a platform for interacting and sharing the mystery of Christ with those who encounter my work. I embark on a journey of inspiration, memory, and revelation when I begin painting. Control proves to be the root of frustration and disappointment. Allowing the process of discovery and enlightenment to drive the direction and purpose of each painting, I surrender my desire to control. Seeking wisdom and inspiration from the Word of God as I work, I grow in my relationship with the first artist who created the heavens and the earth."
