Seven Days of Creation

These paintings are my interpretation of the Creation story from the book of Genesis. Just as the Bible text is an abstraction of the creation, rather than a scientific description, my paintings are abstract. Rather than give you an illustration of something no one has ever seen, I am sharing with you, my viewers, the energy, power, and Love that God poured out when He created this world for us to live in. May you see Him in these works.
