Redemption Tree
Revelation 22:2
On either side of the river was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
This painting weaves together the story of humanity's fall, redemption, and eternal healing through the imagery of three sacred trees in Scripture.
At the roots is the memory of the Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden, where Eve was tempted by the serpent and humanity first experienced separation from God. Hidden near the base, the serpent remains as a reminder of temptation, sin, and the brokenness that entered the world.
At the center stands the cross-- the tree upon which Jesus willingly gave His life for the salvation of humanity. Placed directly into the living tree, symbolizing that redemption grows from sacrifice, and that Christ transformed death into eternal life. Three red dots represent both suffering and the redeeming blood of Christ.
The golden branches rise beneath a swirling heavenly sky, reflecting the promise of Revelation 22:2. The vibrant leaves and fruit symbolize restoration, healing, renewal, and the hope offered to all people through God's eternal kingdom.

"Stand by the ways and see, and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is; and walk in it. Then you will find rest for your souls."
This evocative landscape portrays a pathway stretching into the distance-- an invitation to what is timeless, true, and life-giving. The merging of earth and horizon reflects both the journey and the promise: that those who seek His way will find rest, direction, and renewal.
Spoken over this piece was a powerful prophetic impression: "Healing for the nations." A trail shaped like flowing tears speaks of both sorrow and redemption.

Psalm 19:2
Day after day pours forth speech, and night after night reveals knowledge.
This contemplative painting reflects the mystery of divine wisdom revealed in the stillness of the night.

Possessive
Deuteronomy 4:24
​
For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.
​
Possessive is a symbolic portrayal of God's fierce love and holy jealousy for His people. Set within a grove of white birch trees-- long associated with renewal, new beginnings, and purification-- the painting reflects both tenderness and divine authority. Bold orange and green forms weave through the grove like living branches or binding cords, representing the passionate covenant between Creator and creation.
​
The birth grove becomes a sacred place of rebirth, reminding the viewer that God's jealousy is not rooted in selfishness, but in love that refuses to abandon His people to destruction. Just as the trees shed and renew their bark, the soul is continually called back to restoration, faithfulness, and life in His presence. Possessive speaks of a God who guards what He loves, pursues the wandering heart, and calls His people into renewal beneath the shelter of heaven.

The Baptizer
John 1:33
"He who sent me to baptize with water said to me, 'He upon whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining upon Him, this is the One who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.!"
​
This painting reflects the moment heaven revealed the One who would baptize with the Holy Spirit. The bare white tree stands as humanity waiting in stillness and surrender, while each bird represents individual souls resting upon the branches of grace. Above and among them is the quiet movement of the Spirit-gentle, living, and ready to descend upon every heart willing to receive Him.
​
The soft blues and whites speak of cleansing, renewal, and heavenly peace, while the gathering of birds reminds us that the Holy Spirit comes personally to every individual, not just to crowds. Just as John witnessed the Spirit descending and remaining, this artwork carries the invitation that Christ still baptizes today-filling lives with His presence, power, and peace.
​
The red dot at the base of the tree stands as a bold reminder that the blood of Christ is the foundation of faith. The subtle gold crown on the head of the dove points to the Holy Spirit, third part of the Trinity, as the true Baptizer.
