My response to two questions
posed by Greg Card, Advancing Art Team Leader:
1. Who
are you?
I am a mystery… the son of a father, the
father of a son, and, a friend of God. As a son, a father, and a friend, I am
captivated by a love I do not understand- and yet it is a love I embrace. The
One who calls me ‘friend’ directs my steps, and, I pray, my brush. It is from
this place of mystery I answer the second question.
2. Why
are you making art?
Purpose has been in my thoughts for decades-
the underlying issue of motivation. When I was a child, the act of drawing was
elemental (as I suppose it is with all children) and without motivation. It was
more an act of ‘release’, a letting go of something inside. I understand
slightly more now what is being released. And so, it is from a childlike place I make
art… from the joy found in ‘seeing’ the work of my hands to the knowing I have
been a participant in the process of creativity. When I make art from a place
of authenticity, when I allow the Maker God to direct the ‘made me,’ purpose is
made manifest.
