About The Artwork
This oil and acrylic painting on canvas is sure to bring peace to your home, and remind you of the hope we have in Jesus Christ. This painting is the 23rd in my 2018 series on the book of Proverbs from the Old Testament. Each painting is to represent something from each of the 31 chapters of the Old Testament book of Proverbs. The purpose is to discover wisdom through creative new visual images that represent God's word. I hope that you will take a moment to view the painting and quote, and think about what they might be saying. Proverbs 23:10-11 reminded me of the old stone walls found in rural Great Britain, so this was the basis of this painting. "Do not move an ancient boundary stone or encroach on the fields of the fatherless, or their Defender is strong; he will take up their case against you." I added the sheep, and remembered the way that God is defender of orphans and also our shepherd caring for every little lost one. Jesus told the parable of the lost sheep: “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent." (Luke 15:4-7 NIV)

Within the medium of oil and acrylic painting, my goal is to inspire people to make positive changes within themselves and the world around them, sometimes using metaphorical imagery with clear meaning, often left open to the viewer’s interpretation, but with an overall feeling that there is love and order even in a seemingly chaotic world. Although I make an effort to be aware of current events and culture, my paintings don’t target a specific time and place in order for my works remain relevant across cultural and generational borders. As my work typically uses a combination of subject matter to communicate ideas, I’ve gravitated to surrealism as it allows me to juxtapose recognizable images in fresh ways to visualize spiritual realities that cannot be seen. Having been painting from a very young age, I been advancing in my career in art as a full time profession for the last 10 years. Dozens of successful murals and many years of teaching art and painting in public have allowed me interaction with others and a versatility that I would not have achieved with a studio-only art practice. These opportunities have also helped improve my technical skill and ability to communicate. Within the last 5 years, my paintings have been gaining more acceptance into national and international juried exhibitions while also achieving greater recognition among art professionals and collectors. This is partly due to my involvement in the Water for Life International Art Exhibitions and the Federation of Canadian Artists.
