Artist Statement The Bible is full of stories and messages that evoke cognitive illustrations taking you on a journey through the scriptures. It's not just the story of God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, but also a way to get to know who and how He is, and who we are in Him and to Him. As I read the Bible, there are certain scriptures that give me a glimpse of the beauty of the Kingdom of Heaven. For example, when Jesus says, "Man must not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of God" (Matthew 4:4), and "I am the bread of life,” Jesus told them. “No one who comes to Me will ever be hungry, and no one who believes in Me will ever be thirsty again" (John 6:35), and "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. All things were created through Him, and apart from Him not one thing was created that has been created. Life was in Him, and that life was the light of men. That light shines in the darkness, yet the darkness did not overcome it" (John 1:1-7). I cannot help but to grab my sketch book and draw these images and turn them into illustrated messages that every child of God around the world can recognize and I pray that these illustrations would also help those who are seeking the Lord and would aid them in finding Him.

Our Heavenly Father delights when I dedicate the talent that He has given me and entrusted me with and give it back to Him. All things are possible through Christ who strengthens me. This is all possible when I paint in prayer united with Holy Spirit. Most of the time when I am unable to continue and about to give up, as I pray to our Heavenly Father, He gives me the strength and ability to finish these pieces of art. I am eternally grateful to the Lord for guiding me, teach me and partnering with me.
