Hope Door I
What does “hope” mean to you? I was interested in honest answers. By using paint, I could capture the longing and the hope in color.
Easter Door
I worried I was ruining the project, but that gave way to energy and focus. I became struck by the explosive joy of God in redeeming sinners.
The Creative Process
The creative process varies for each person. It must. Every person approaches a project with different experiences, different giftings, and different skill sets to where they will bring something unique to the process. At least, that’s what we hope for, so that we will get to see or hear something unique in the art produced.
Calvary
I tell the story of Holy Week through paint, confession, and redemption
Broken Shells
This is the inspiration for my recent sketches and drawings on broken shells. The more broken the shell, the more light flooded it.
Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.
— John 12:24
Visual Art
When visual art connects to us, it puts pictures to the words we cannot find. It slips past our defenses and awakens us. It might awaken grief, anger, admiration, compassion, or anything else deep in our soul. It reminds us that we are more than our to-do list, more than our rational, logical endeavors. We long to feel alive. Our creativity tells on us.
I hope my creative journey (so far) in paint, charcoal, graphite, sharpie connects to you.
Music
Music has an amazing ability to penetrate past our rational defenses and cut straight to our needy and hurting places. It can agitate, open up, and soothe what is stuffed down and closed off. It is a powerful form of language that allows us to express what at times seems inexpressible, a release valve for our souls.
These are some of the songs that give voice to pieces of my journey. Perhaps they will connect to yours and hopefully open up the door for deeper understanding and grace for yourself and others. At the very least, I hope they sound good to you ;)
