Artist's Statement

I find many things to be inspirational, but I have learned that God will most often use His own creation when speaking to my soul.  To hear the voice of God whispering in a breeze, birds rejoicing in praise; to see the beauty in a field of flowers, and know that their vast number is a reflection of the joy God felt while creating them.  This divine inspiration, is what my heart craves on a daily basis.
