THE ARTIST'S COMMENTS
“As I look back at the 44 years I spent in painting, I have experienced the joys, the challenges, the frustrations and the rewards as I toiled to better myself in it. I believe that God has gifted me with the ability to paint. It is my desire and prayer that God may use the talent He gave me as a means of communicating His love, faithfulness, grace, and mercy to others – giving back to Him what He gave to me, may the name of the Lord be glorified forever!
