Featured Artist
2013 Aaron Douglas Art Fair
I am honored and humbled to have been asked to be the 2013 Featured Artist at the 8th Annual Aaron Douglas Art Fair in Topeka, KS. This unique privilege is unquestionably the most attention I have received as an artist to date. I have no doubt in my mind that this is an opportunity given to me by God. As such, it is my intention to take full advantage of this recognition by using it to share my faith in Christ and my belief in the Bible as the infallible word of God. It is also my intention to honor God with the Featured Artwork which I created specifically for the Fair. Because God has given me my artistic talents and this chance to showcase them, it seems to me the proper response is to allow God to have His way with the actual artwork. It is this thinking that has led me to the decision to hold a charity raffle for this painting with the proceeds benefiting Trash Mountain Project. In this way, God can work through my artwork to glorify Himself and provide for those living in unimaginable poverty. It is with a great deal of excitement that I offer this up to Him.
