Wonders of Creation

Here is a two-page illustration from a project I worked on last year. I illustrated a children's book titled But God's Word Says...Creation by Rebekah Williamson. The book presented an interesting challenge in its conceptual freedom. I tried to incorporate my own lifelong since of awe of the majesty of creation into each page. I tried to remember all the things that sparked my imagination as a child - here you get a picture of a starry night, a shooting star, fireflies, bedding birds in branches, a tree house, a tire swing, and fences that melt into the landscape. Here there are hills to roam and explore.

I'm currently working on the second book in this trilogy.

If you would like to check out more about the first book or order a copy, here are a couple of links:

Though torn in two

Though torn in two
We can be one

I, I will begin again
I, I will begin again

~ lyrics from U2's song "New Year's Day"

This a mixed media piece paying homage to the photos and vision used for U2's album War and the era surrounding it. I thought it seemed appropriate for the day and the times.
