Specializing in oil painting, I often choose subjects that have a beautiful vibrancy and richness, without being overstated. Each painting has a depth of soul that speaks life, serving to tell a story to the observer -- the story of joy that everyone yearns for. 

 I believe there is something inherently spiritual about creating art. The origin of an idea, an image in our mind of what we need to design, is a gift from the Giver. In our broken yet beautiful humanity, we use our hands, emotions, and talents to hammer out this creation to completion. While an image can be universally relatable,  everyone views it through the lens of their own beliefs, perceptions, and circumstances, making it unique to them. In this way, the paintings are quietly talking, intimately expressing what is inexpressible. 

Commit your work to the Lord and your plans will be established. -Proverbs 16:3
