Light of the World





"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven"

~Matthew 5:16~



This piece is possibly the one piece I am most proud to call my own. It challenged me in ways I did not expect, but it has blessed me in countless other ways.

I was told to propose an impossible project, and so I did.


"I want to paint the faces of the people on the earth." That was my response. To cover the earth in light so the the earth would become a living portrait and beacon


I was then told to make that impossible dream I had proposed into a present reality.
And so I did.

I made a 3 foot sphere to set the stage for my project. And then a drilled away to paint those portraits of light I had imagined. Finally, I finished.


I have only one thing left to say about this project. The most important thing I can say:
Thank God. Thank God for the blessing and vision He gave me. Thank God for the beauty of life and light and His earth. And thank God for the gift He gave me for the ability to do this


My hope and prayer is that you see the beauty, and that you Praise God for what He has done, and what He alone can do.



Soli Deo Gloria
