From the way the fire looks from paintings like “Chariot” to smoke techniques discovered in “Rabbi” to water imagery used in “Calm” and others, the painting incorporates many styles, colors and types of paint. The painting itself depicts one of the first times the Jesus…

“Shepherd” was painted with a specific idea in mind. I wanted to make sure the painting could be viewed in more than one way. When you see the painting, do you see a common shepherd facing away from you and towards a light that shines…

I searched for as many names for Jesus as I could find and incorporated them into the “paragraph” – the more words used, the more detail I could show. Once the first, grueling step was completed, I used contrast layers to show the images of…

This painting was completed for a woman who wanted something to symbolize how, even when your life is in a very dark place, Jesus will always be there for you. He will always be there to lift you up. It is almost impossible to notice,…
