"Away on a Hilltop" is the powerful story of the most heroic Life ever lived. Follow the footsteps of Jesus Christ as He moves from the manger to a village, a temple, and a river. From there He heads to the wilderness, a hillside, a seashore, and a city where the story intensifies. We follow Him away to an upper room and a garden, from which He is led away to a council and eventually to a lonely hilltop. We look for Him in a graveyard, but He once again He has slipped away, this time to a doorway, before being taken away on a cloud, and ultimately to His heavenly kingdom. The story closes with a tender prayer to this wonderful Savior who came to our world to wash our sins away.

SERENITY
SERENITY — Canvas Giclée (16x20 print, unframed)
My goal with this painting was to create a marriage between longing and peace. The scenery stirs an almost mysterious sense of yearning and waiting, so I decided to add a young woman to the foreground to represent all of us who are experiencing a personal journey of waiting. While creating this sense of anticipation, it was equally important to develop that precious sense of peace. This is accomplished with the young woman's body language. She is yearning, yes, but also dreaming, relaxed and content, enjoying the beauty of that moment as she trusts her future to her Creator.
