Keeping the Faith

Artist Statement:

In this collection of oil and acrylic paintings, I created images that narrate a faith walk biblical figures and current day worshipers. The use of brilliant colors and exaggerated movements are used to celebrate our Christian walk. Love, joy and redemption, and peace are at the epicenter of many of these narrative pieces. I used loving family and friends to help me tell these stories. The challenge for me was to capture just a speck of God’s glory. All of these images reference or point to Jesus the Christ. I hope this images will inspire you to let you light shine as well.
