Learning How to See What is Not Obvious

Posted on by

To create … envision (see) the unseen.

To understand … listen to hear what is not being said.

As an artist, I’ve naturally been fascinated by shapes, forms, and patterns (both in the physical realm and the behavioral, and spiritual realm.)

When you become unrecognizable, change is on its way

Posted on by

When the world as you know it is unrecognizable, you can count on the fact that you are in a state of transitioning from what was to what is to come.

God’s Fatherly wisdom gives us visual metaphors to explain His heart and His ways. The butterfly is one of those magnificent stories of change and transformation.

Beginning as a tiny egg, the larvae hatch in the form of a caterpillar with a voracious appetite, eating everything in sight that is green and leafy.
