As a 3ish year old, I was one of ‘those’ wandering children. I had even been picked up by the police once too. As a lost child, not as a delinquent. This drawing depicts the last time I remember wandering off and my first encounter with God. It was also one of last of my […]

It’s that time of the year again where anniversary days are closer together. Happy 59th Michael. That deserves some cake time for sure! I remember trying to take the goofy photo of you sanding back this window for mum in your mask, and how long it took for me to get one with the mask […]

I struggle everytime I see white baby Jesus now that I understand this myself. Jesus was Middle Eastern. Historically visual translations of the bible throughout art history […]

As the series “get us out of here” comes to an end in iso church, I am reminded of how the narrative of the Israelites leaving Egypt talked about over the last few months, has given me fresh insights into “known” scripture. This artwork has developed over the last couple of weeks. Today I’ve been […]

In iso church studio time today. Lots of meaty stuff in the menu. This one thing stuck. “God isn’t rescuing the Israelites for them.God rescued the Israelites for him.” He’s doing the same in all our situations. If we are honest with ourselves our focus is often, way too often, on what and how we […]
