I am perpetually in awe over God's creative majesty. With just a word He spoke all the things I find most beautiful into existence. The grace of a tulip as it bends gently in the breeze, the many textures and subtle shades of a rose, a delicate dew covered blossom on a cloudy day, a new leaf on a houseplant all speak to the awesome imagination and perfect creation of an amazing God and King. My greatest desire with my art is to reflect this glory in some way. I want to whisper some of the joy I find around me to you through the strokes of my brush, no matter how small they may be. Although it’s not a big or important task, the ability to spread that beauty in some small way is a source of joy and purpose for me. As I daily battle chronic pain and other difficulties brought to me by the illnesses I struggle with, to know that I can create in this way and glorify God even when I must isolate myself to deal with this pain is a daily comfort. And to know that my art is in the homes and hearts of people near and far away is a warm thought amidst that pain, and brings gladness within sorrow. Because of all this, my goal with my art has solidified into only one—Soli Deo Gloria, to God alone be the glory. I want to shout it from the rooftops, emblazon it on the world around me,  because it means that no matter how sick I may be, I have a purpose in a place in God's kingdom, for He asks me only to glorify Him. It brings unspeakable joy and comfort, for His will for my life and my art is perfect.
