Death of Christ  
This exhibition is a comic/sketch series on the death of Christ using comic book style drawings and sketch quality color and technique.

Isaiah 61  
`That our idea of God correspond as nearly as possible to the true being of God is of immense importance to us. Compared with our actual thoughts about Him, our creedal statements are of little consequence. Our real idea of God may lie buried under the rubbish of conventional religious notions and may require an intelligent and vigorous search before it is finally unearthed and exposed for what it is.” ~ A.W. Tozer In other words, if you want to know what a person (or an artist) really believes, their creeds may not tell you nearly as much as how they live. The core of what I believe, live in and teach may be best captured through my art. I am a comic/ sketch artist from Colorado. My contemporary method incorporates a multi-media orientation. My style expresses mood and emotions. It is crisp in concept, and in its execution, often revealing the behavior of divine interaction. The presence of color (working with ink, colored pencil, turpanoid, and pencil) is visually important to the enhancement of the comic/ sketch technique. I explore my spirituality, through the use of form, color and philosophical perception, while visually opening the scriptural passages to the human eye. I communicate and experiment with the concepts of fullness and authenticity bringing a snappy and rich approach to the edge of comic style art.
