My painting "Faith"...As I worked on this I stood back & saw an image of Jesus looking on ...the cross on Faith's forehead spills a symbolic red representing the power of the crucifixion...I never know where my paintings will go when I begin! I do pray before beginning any creation...I honor Him that gave me my talent by using the gifts He's given. Through my hands, He works alongside me throughout my process. I am so thankful that my artistic journey takes me into a spiritual dimension. My success as an artist is only because of my faith in Him and His faith in me. I take this responsibility seriously as it brings me closer to all that God has in store for me. If you have a dream, not everyone will encourage you --even people & friends you love. Don't listen to the small minded voices that mean to throw you off your chosen path. They have most likely given up on their own dreams & settled...I would rather dream big & get half than to not dream at all & receive 100 percent of that. My father always told me he was so proud and amazed at my tenacity. It takes work as you stumble, fall & fail along the way but it's the rising up again that matters.
