“I am thrilled to be able to paint. The object of my painting is light. What light does to the color and form never ceases to fascinate me. Light provides endless possibilities. They are momentary but can be explored and enjoyed by observation and interpretation. It is a privilege to ponder and to communicate it in my paintings.” In His light, we see light. Psalm 36:9
