I am a landscape artist working mainly in acrylics but sometimes mixed media. I believe we are gifted with creativity by God to uplift people and point us towards a power beyond ourselves. This blog is a collation of artworks and what inspired me to paint them. I also post recent happenings to keep people up to date with my latest works and exhibitions.
