"Created to..." acrylic and charcoal on canvas, 30x40"Last night I was privileged to paint during the Spirit and Place Festival event, "Imagining Creation: A Spiritual Mandate for Creation Care". If you examine my work it's easy to see my fascination to creation, but before the event I had to sit down and really evaluate why I so often paint images that are drawn from nature. When I am able to sit or explore in nature I am often struck by the greatness of God and the beauty that he made for us. I believe that creation connects us closer to God, and one of the things God requires of us is to care for creation. In this piece, I hope that you will see a human connection to nature and our obligation to care for it.
