The Woman He Played
I painted this piece from a place of deep thought about relationships and control. At first, it looks like a man playing a guitar, with three women standing behind him. But to me, the guitar is not just an instrument — it represents a woman. The way he holds it, the way he plays it… it feels more personal than just music.

Truth Is Often Rejected Because It Demands Change
There is a widespread assumption, rarely spoken but deeply believed, that truth will eventually be accepted if it is communicated clearly, patiently, and with genuine goodwill. When resistance appears, the instinct is to search for error in tone, framing, or explanation. The underlying belief is simple: if the truth were presented well enough, rejection would disappear. This belief is comforting, but it is false. History, Scripture, and lived experience all point in the same direction. Truth is often rejected not because it is unclear, but because it is costly.

I Died For 40 Minutes - Here's What It Taught Me About life
Dying doesn't normally give a person new life - yet that is exactly what happened to Patrick Charnley. He was a high-flying lawyer, who viewed downtime as "wasted time", restlessly pushing himself to success.

the Metropolitan Museum of Art
When I was in elementary school I went on a really cool and unforgettable field trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City for the first time. It was a fantastic time I wondered around the asian exhibits a great deal as well as through the galleries and it was simply amazing and a fantastic enchancement to the senses. Since then I had gone back also to see an exhibition that featured fine high fashion and couture from Versace as well as other notable fashion designers. Inside this building a lot of magical things have taken place and history upon history has also been made within its hollowed walls.

The Silent Wife
In the quiet suburbs of Chicago, where winter pressed its pale hands against frosted windows and the lake wind carried secrets through narrow streets, lived a woman named Hannah Rowe. The neighbors knew her as polite, composed, and distant. She baked lemon cakes for charity drives, sent handwritten thank-you notes, and waved gently from behind her white picket fence.

The Andy Warhol Brillo Box
Andy Warhol is the king of Pop Art and he had been the first to incorporate everyday items that we as a society would never think to turn into art, Andy did it first with the Cambpell Soup can and then with the Brillo Soap Box. There was an art collector family who had a Warhol Brillo Soap Box in their collection and it did become part of their lives which is really rare for a piece of art to be able to do that and the daughter of the family who was a film maker made a documentary about it.

The Gates by Christo and Jean Claude
Many years ago in Central Park in New York City there was a beautiful installation by artistic duo Christo and Jean Claude called "The Gates". It was set up along the entire walking path in Central Park and lasted a good long time to the point that it over stayed its welcome in the opinion of some but not mine but after a while some New Yorkers had formed the opinion. The piece was orange frames with safron curtains like those that Buddhist monks wear draped over them. I wish that I had had the chance to experience but I missed out. I just want to say that the staff who approved the project for the park are geniuses.

I saw the Imagine Peace Tower
I was in awe of it, and I showed it to my mother; that peace was something beautiful to see. I saw a little bit of it, and I was still inspired, and I still remember it to this day. Besides, you don't see something beautiful like that every day. You're doing a wonderful job creating this beautiful imaginary Tower of Peace. Later, I had a poster of the tower in my room.
