Key of David

The background of this piece is a geometric collage made from stanzas I cut out of an old hymnal. The pattern revolves around the word “Savior.” I used an acrylic paint pen to form each of the lines flowing from the silhouetted key image. This is the second piece in my line art series.

White Feather

White birds emerge out of a white feather in this silhouette scene. I found this beautiful old door panel at a rummage sale and repurposed it as a “canvas.” This piece can be displayed either horizontally or vertically.

Lion of Light

I created this painting during Firestarters' Winter Gathering event held in early March 2011. A white lion looks out of the painting through a rainbow of colors.

Red Revolution

An abstract red landscape is my aim with this painting. I pieced together carefully cut sections of newsprint to form a desert landscape where the cracked dry sections of land are pieces of newsprint. These are arranged in a way to create dimension, with the center line of the canvas serving as the horizon. A white sun rises in the red sky. The words “red” and “revolution” fall from above. This painting is part of my word art series. The thick, staple free, gallery style edge of the canvas means you can place the canvas directly on a wall, without a frame.

Medium: acrylic on a partially newspaper covered canvas, paper letter accents

27 White Doves

For me, this painting embodies art as worship. I started out by creating a yellow and lime green striped newspaper collage background. As the music played loudly in my living room, I started painting streaks of color along with the sounds I heard. It was freeing to create something without a specific final look in mind. I then added a few embellishments like the molding paste circles and the white doves. There are 27 of them (my favorite number!), but most people only find 26.

Medium: watercolor on newspaper covered canvas, acrylic paint, molding paste/acrylic blend accents

Artist's Awakening

This piece is the first in a series I have best intentions to complete. My original poem, "Artist's Awakening," is hand printed on a wrinkled piece of construction paper I attached to the canvas. To read the poem, click here: Artist's Awakening.

Crow

I love birds. This drawing, created with a carbon drawing pencil, captures the spunk and feistiness of one of my favorite members of the bird family.

Dandelion

The painting was created during an evening of live worship with the Firestarters band and Rick Pino. In addition to just being my favorite flower in general, the dandelion holds spiritual significance. As it turns white in the fall of life, the dandelion releases life-filled seeds that will sprout up green wherever the wind carries them.

Generation Intercession

I completed this collage painting during an evening of worship. As we prayed for our generation, I covered my hands with molding paste and metallic silver paint. I then pressed my hands onto the canvas of people.

Read Between the Lines

Roots

One of my favorite things to do as an artist is to incorporate uncommon materials into a piece of art. In this instance, I happened to be painting next to a public restroom, and found the dispenser full of brown paper towels to be just the inspiration I needed. The two large circles in this piece are painted paper towel sections.

Medium: acrylic on canvas, paper towel accents

Dimensions: 22" x 28"

Prismatic

This is an experimental piece of art composed almost entirely of ultra thin, non-glossy tissue paper. The tissue paper is layered on top of a multi-colored acrylic butterfly painting. I added a small amount of metallic silver acrylic paint to the water/matte medium mixture I used to adhere the tissue to the canvas. This gives the piece a subtle metallic sparkle in sunlight.
