Artist’s Statement
“Every landscape, every sunset, every sunrise, field, pond, beach and evening scene are tiny mirrors that reflect the awe inspiring beauty of my God, my Creator, my Jehovah Jireh, my Yahweh, my Lord and Savior. I paint because He has gifted me with creative insight. I paint because He has blessed me with a beautiful world. I paint because He gives me the materials and knowledge. I paint because I love the creator who painted it first. Who fashioned the world and holds it together, who set the stars in place and set the planets in motion. I paint to pay homage to Him. I paint the fingerprints of my God who first painted me.”
