Images for Use in Your Ministry Context.

I approach my creative process as a spiritual practice. I begin by studying a biblical text—just as I would when preparing a sermon or writing an exegesis paper. As I read, my imagination becomes flooded with images, questions, and avenues for exploration. With art supplies in hand, I begin to respond—discerning, exploring, and layering. Each piece of original Christian art I create holds layers of meaning through carefully considered references, composition, and symbology.

As a companion to most of my biblical artwork, I write an artist statement that often reads like a sermon, an exegesis paper, or a journal entry about my experience of art-making. I began the practice of writing these reflections while creating resources with my colleagues at A Sanctified Art.

My hope is that my artwork is both vulnerable and authentic. I want you to see my wrestling with the biblical text in every brush stroke, color choice, and pattern.
