My faith is very important to me and it makes me want to create. I love to paint or write while in deep prayer or in intense worship of the Lord. It is a worship experience and in these moments the Holy Spirit inspires and establishes the work I do. Jesus used parables to capture attention and portray important messages; I hope my art uses the same bold and vivid imagery to do the same. I want my artwork to open up communication. I hope it leads to deep discussions of who God is, and how His sacrifice can bring peace, healing, love, hope, and salvation to each and every one of us. I want my work to stir up faith and encouragement in the life of the viewer.
