About My Paintings

Inspired by my Christian faith, my paintings serve as an earnest expression of my beliefs despite their amateurish qualities. I draw inspiration from traditional Christian themes, such as the Nativity and Crucifixion, and I strive to bring a fresh and unconventional perspective to these familiar subjects. By challenging the norm, I aim to create intriguing and thought-provoking artwork.
I use acrylics for most of my paintings and have recently experimented with using different frames. Instead of traditional wood frames, I have begun crafting cardboard frames and incorporating painted borders directly onto the canvas. This innovative approach adds a distinctive touch to my artwork, further emphasizing its unconventional nature.

My Intention for Creating Art

For me, creating art is a form of expression and spiritual enrichment, and this is why I offer images of my creations for free. Anyone can use them for personal, nonprofit, church-related, or educational purposes without any cost involved. I am not motivated by profit but by a desire to give back to others and channel any financial gain into Christian charity or other worthy causes.
Beyond any financial gain, my greatest desire is to see these paintings find a meaningful home within a church or public institution. I believe that by placing them where they can be viewed by a congregation or the general public, their impact will be magnified. In this spirit, I am more than willing to donate my artwork to such a worthy cause.
My passion for art is closely intertwined with my Christian faith, and when I paint, I find myself in a place of quiet meditation and prayer. Through my art, I hope to inspire others and bring them closer to God. My website is a platform for me to share my faith-inspired artwork with a wider audience and share my message of hope and inspiration. Contact me for more information.

The Power of Perception: Shaping Thoughts, Hearts, and Actions

To me, it is evident that what we gaze upon has a profound effect on our thoughts; our thoughts, in turn, shape our hearts, and our hearts ultimately guide our actions.
Paul McCartney of The Beatles sang, “Some people want to fill the world with silly love songs. And what’s wrong with that? I’d like to know.” I would like to fill my little part of the world with my silly love paintings.

Faith and Art

Here are some quotes that resonate with me on the connection between faith and art:
  • “My soul can find no staircase to Heaven unless it be through Earth’s loveliness.” - Michelangelo
  • “Art, for me, is and was my digging tool for Meaning, for Truth...” - Frederick Franck
  • “Art is exercise for the heart.” - John Lithgow
