I’m learning what lies beneath technique and style,

I’m learning about substance.

I’m searching for my voice and my song.

I’m learning that there is poetry in paint and I want to see it, and

I want to create it.

I’m finding colors and shades and texture in new places,

But I like it best in old places.

I am re-finding joy in creation, and

I want to share that with others.

I want to share the good in the world;

The Love we are all capable of.

I want to share what God shares.

I want you to see Him through your own eyes

So I will try to show Him to you through my art, because

I want to be an artist.
