The works in this gallery are non-representational. . . . they are expressions of ideas, concepts, and emotions using color, primarily.
Noticably, there is often a spiritual theme through these works. For most, the ideas that inspire these pieces cannot be
easily expressed through depicting objects. Therefore, the use of color and shape portrayed with dynamic application is the way I have chosen to present
the intangible ideas that have inspired me. I frequently find my inspiration for abstract works in the
depth and riches of Theology and The Inspired Word of God. In this way, visual art becomes a language for worship.
