ABOUT THE ARTWORK
On a recent trip to a Syrian refugee camp in the Bekaa Valley, I passed a tent camera in hand, on my way to meet one of the families. As I passed one tent, a tiny figure peeked out. As I aimed my camera to take her picture, the poor thing burst into tears, not knowing what to make of me. She inspired me to paint I Was a Stranger, the title drawn from Christ's statement about the Last Judgment in Matthew 25:35 "I was a stranger and you welcomed me."
