My trio of steel sculptures, “Hiding,” “Obey,” and “Alive,” evolved from my leap of faith. I quit my job after ten years of employment, which is not the most popular or understood choice in this day and time, but a decision that took two years in the praying.  Nov 11, 2007 God found me. I’ve heard others say they found Jesus, but I hate to tell them “Jesus ain’t lost!”

I was a lot like my pieces due to the fact that I was hiding from God for a long time. I was the one who controlled me and thought the way that I chose was the right way.  I believed that I could do no wrong. Until the day that I realized I was lost-- as lost as I could be in this deceiving and greed driven world. I finally learned to obey God and thus began my two year journey to where I am today. After many battles with my old self and the influences of this world I realized that without God I could never be the artist that he intended me to be.

As I look at the pieces I have made after being saved I now understand things much better. Just because I waited years to make something out of the materials that sat in the corner of my studio does not mean that the materials were no good, it simply means they were unable to make anything out of themselves. As I was not in Gods will for my life due to the fact that I did not know him, I was unable to change myself. But now that I am alive in Christ I have given him control to mold and work me into something I never thought I could be. Everyone has this chance to know Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. I just pray that they will turn around and meet the maker of all creations on this ball we call earth.
