Strong Tower
Etched Glass
50.5" x 28"
Though I was excited about this project from the beginning, finding an idea I could commit to seemed difficult. When I finally came across a picture of a lighthouse, however, it excited me. By tying in the words of Psalms 27:1 and Proverbs 18:10, I could use it to illustrate an aspect of God's unfathomable love: He is refuge for all who seek Him.
Window to Nature
Acrylic on Glass
28" x 29"
We were inspired when we looked out the window of our art class, and wanted to portray the simplistic beauty we saw. We liked the thought of recreating a simple, yet elegant scene from nature. We also wanted it to be natural so that it will be complimentary in any room. We thoroughly enjoyed creating this piece of art! We are very happy to be able to show God's creation in this window painting. Psalms 145:5 says "On the glorious splendor of your majesty and on your wondrous works, I will meditate." We thought this was an inspirational verse and used this as the basis for our window.
Infinity
Acrylic on Glass
20" x 31"
I didn't really have an inspiration, I just had an idea and knew what I wanted to do. I had to paint in reverse, putting the tree first and the halo last. The final product was my third attempt. I kept scraping two specific spots off and repainting them until I was happy with it. The third and final attempt was when Infinity came to be.
God's Detail
Etched Glass
19" x 31"
"God's Detail" is more than just a piece of art. It was an inspiration brought to me by God. The original idea was to create a unique setting that captures people's attention. I first intended for it to be a simple flower. However, I wanted to push myself by thinking of a more challenging picture etch. I wanted something that was normally considered small and insignificant. The one idea that continually came to mind was a hummingbird. Once the bird was set in the proper place I felt as thought the window was empty. Until I imagined another creature full of tiny detail. The bumblebee came into the picture and it was complete. It was God's Detail that made this a simple masterpiece.
Wonderland
Acrylic on Glass
17" x 35"
I started this piece with the thought that it would be a basic silhouette. But, much like life, it wasn't turning out as I had planned! As I was scratching off the paint to start over, I discovered my painting. It was there all along, I just didn't know it. So, I continued to scratch off designs in the black paint and thus, Wonderland was born. Making this piece made me remember that all things work together for good.

A Hidden Promise
Acrylic on Glass and Wood
27.5" x 30" x 25"
We were inspired by God's promise of each time you see a rainbow, never again will God flood the whole earth. Genesis 9:13 - "I have set my rainbow in the clouds." We showed the passion and colors of God's creation through the brightness of every color. The tree represents the tree of life and the perfection of God's Creation.
