Artist Statement

It is the beauty of Godʼs magnificent artistry in the world around me that inspires me to paint. I love light. It transforms the mundane into the spectacular. I stand in awe. Colors, rhythmic patterns, and beautiful form perform as if dancing to unheard music. This is what I try to capture in my artwork. It brings me great joy and purpose in life to birth on canvas those things which stir my soul.

I love rhythmic, well-designed compositions with a lot of ʻfood for the eyeʼ. I am a representational painter by choice. I feel that my affinity towards realism enhances the message I am trying to convey. Concept and design are paramount, but by offering complex compositions, full of detail, the eye can keep traveling around the painting discovering something new every step of the way.

Paintings > Christian > Leap of Faith

Acrylic painting on canvas, 40"x30".  Will this young eaglet be brave enough to let go of its nest and make its maiden flight into the unknown?  In like manner, do we have the faith to leave our comfort zone and move into new directions or answer a call God has placed on our hearts?  Just as this parent bird will come under the fledgling if it flounders and support it with its own wings, so will our Father support us as we step out in faith and follow Him.  Hallelujah!

"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see."  Hebrews 11:1
