Area(s) of Interest or Expertise:

I am a classically trained artist who has devoted the past 35 years to painting and illustrating the Book of Revelation along with many other biblical books/subjects. I am adept in oil, acrylic, mixed media, pen and ink, sculpting, carving, etching, pyrography, etc. My current project is illustrating the 404 verses of the book of revelation in pen and ink as a visual aid for pastors and students of the Bible. My works include surrealism, cartoon, realism, symbolism, symbolic realism, pop art, abstract expressionism, etc. I do murals for churches, residences and businesses. And I'm a strong advocate of art education.


My Testimony: (We encourage members to share briefly about how their faith in Christ has impacted their lives.)

It was God's grace and plan for me to grow up in a Christian home with two parents who were in lay ministry all their adult lives because their patience and love for me was extremely tested by my rebellious behavior. The power of prayer again worked its miracle in me in the early 70's when an extreme encounter changed my faith, life, and art career. That change resulted in a soon to be 30 year celebration of marriage, great children, and a body of work that has been called the largest collection of apocalyptic art in the world and according to a Knox Seminary professor one that has never been done in church history.


Dream Job: (If you could have your dream job in the comics industry, what would it be?)

Contributing to magazines, newspapers, and having a book published of my illustrations and paintings or having a book use my work.
