new project

 i was commissioned by Rolling Hills Community Church to design and implement wall art for two walls in their youth area.  i started working on the design and realized i could not leave the room unfinished - - (two walls would not look complete) - - so the project has taken on very large proportions;  transforming four walls, two tables, two benches, the ceiling, as well as  teaching adults and teens the techniques and vision of how to transform a space through wall art.  

i realized wednesday night as i was teaching a large group of teens and adults that for me teacher/artist mode are two different zones - - and i would need to separate the two. yesterday i worked with six amazing college students and my granddaughter.  they helped implement the work seen so far.  today i hope to finish the art work.  


the theme of the room is intersect - we intersect with God at the cross.  

the meaning and significance of the cross and of Jesus as the One mediator between God and man is the theme of my life.  in the light of some of my personal journey it has become an encompassing goal to share the importance of the cross through artistic endeavor, (music writing and art).  as you look at world events and the destruction of churches, crosses and Christians, you realize that the hatred that is coming in the form of persecution is ungodly and is growing in intensity.  

may we, as Christ believers hold steady in prayer and daily remember what Christ did for us through His death and sacrifice.
