Artist's Statement


God is real, personal, and He still speaks today. One of the ways He speaks is through visions, pictures and impressions in our spirits. I never knew God could give me something to draw, but since 2005 He has been doing just that and I am blessed beyond anything I ever could have imagined. He has taken my childhood love of drawing and made it into a means of blessing people, sharing His love, and worshiping Him.

These are pictures that He's shown me as we walk together, but each one comes through my eyes and in my language. And although they are personal to me, each one has a meaning and a story which are part of the picture. Rather than being ambiguous or enigmatic works, each picture is a work of communication. At the deepest level, you and I don't need art or great ideas; we need love from the very real God who is love. I pray that the simple expression and captured moments in these pictures tell the simple yet overwhelming reality of His love for you.

I pray you are blessed by the pictures and their stories just as I am, and that you will experience God speaking His words of life to you of how much He has loved you and given His all for you on the cross 2,000 years ago.
"The Lord your God is with you,
He is mighty to save.
He will take great delight in you,
He will quiet you with His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing."
- Zephaniah 3:17 NIV
I love God. And more than that, He loves me and you. This is what my art is about.

Comments:
Having finally written the "artist's statement", I am compelled to wonder...

What kind of a "statement" would God make about me?"

I think He already did in Zephaniah 3:17. *tear* Thank You, Lord.
