About the Artist

"I was thinking about religion and your art. The reason I feel so close to your pieces is that experiencing your work is how I want to experience my faith. Your art is full of joy and love and I truly believe that those pure emotions connect us with God. They also allow us to connect with each other, the world around us and the universe. Life is full of challenges and you are able to put them in a framework that speaks of a rich and positive faith. Thank you again for your heart!!!" - MaryLincoln Neely, Sept 8th 2011
