Sabbath Paintings 2016-2018

Artist’s Statement:

The past few years I have transitioned from being a full-time therapist to doing ministry at Madison Church’s Square Campus and Madison Church’s North Campus where I am the Director of Worship Design.  An important part of doing ministry is taking weekly Sabbath Days to be with God.  Often, these are difficult weekly times where I need to stop what I usually am doing, and reflect on how I tend to be driven by my own sense of self-importance by what I accomplish, or what I am striving to accomplish.  When I am having my best sabbath times, I am able to focus on being in loving relationship with God.  During these times, I try to capture a sense of God’s presence on canvas.  These latest pieces are Sabbath paintings created during and between these Sabbath periods.
