Things Into Which Angels Long to LookOil on wood panel | 11” x 14”In this painting, an angel figure is standing before a door, containing the light of the message, desiring to step in, but forbidden. This image hopes to help put in perspective the importance and magnitude of the Gospel. For powerful, majestic beings like angels desire to know what has been revealed to us.

Peter the ApostleColored pencil on pastel paper | 10” x 10”This illustration explores who Peter the Apostle was. Within the brackets of a fishing net and a rock we explore Peter’s journey with Jesus. He was a fisherman, rock, witness to miracles, recipient of revelation and wrote and spoke with authority.
