Reconciled:
This 2024, 24x30 tinted charcoal and pastel drawing has an incredible testimony of my community speaking into the process as I worked on it over a span of several months. Although it has a long and beautiful backstory, I think 2nd Corinthians 5:17 (and surrounding verses) encapsulates the theme of this piece pretty well. “All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation.”
Eye of the Beholder:
Drawn while visiting my parent in Colorado during the summer of 2024, this 30x24 inch tinted charcoal and pastel drawing is intended to inspire us all to take a moment and connect with the small every-day beauties that are too often taken for granted. Take a moment to appreciate something small and beautiful in your world today. This piece is also an award winner! “Eye of the Beholder” was awarded 2nd place at the 2024 Marian Hagins Art Show, in Lancaster SC

Patriarch:
Drawn in late 2024, this 24x30 tinted charcoal and pastel drawing was an African continuation to the theme begun in “Eye of the Beholder” idea of encouraging viewers to find appreciation of the small and beautiful things in life. Take a moment to appreciate something small and beautiful today!
Thor of the Prairie:
This 2024, 24x30 tinted charcoal and pastel drawing came together and also sold so fast, it was a real whirlwind. However, I do love this piece and I know that Thor of McCullough Peaks HMA Wyoming had his own following. I hope this is not the last image of Thor that I create.

How Great Thou Art:
Ok, I know, that sounds like a very odd name. But here’s why I put that name with this drawing. This bird is Wood Stork, and I was completely unaware of their existence until a few months ago. A South Carolinian photographer who I follow was posting images of this bird that seemed to be patched together untidily from river rocks, old bones and long silky feathers. My first thought was, ‘How great is our God, who dreamed up this bird and put it her for us to marvel at’. My second thought was, ‘I must draw it!” So here he is.
