My art reflects my faith and my admiration for the natural world. I strive to capture the beauty and complexity of God’s creation through my paintings.”For since the creation of the world his invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse” (Romans 1:20). I try to show the beauty and perfection of nature, that the truth of God’s Word and the power of Jesus might be made evident.
My paintings often depict geodes, crystal vases, and flowers, each piece meticulously crafted using traditional techniques and mediums. I use pure linseed and walnut oils as mediums with oil paint, giving me ample time to work on each painting and perfect every detail. I approach my work with reverence and gratitude, humbled by the beauty that surrounds us and inspired by the power of the divine. For me, the creative process is a journey of self-discovery, a way to connect with my innermost thoughts and emotions. Through my art, I hope to inspire others to see the world with fresh eyes, to appreciate the beauty that surrounds us, and to recognize the divine in all things.
My paintings are an invitation to slow down, to pause, and to reflect on the miracle of existence and His creation. I hope that my art touches the hearts and minds of those who view it.
