I need to be visually creative! I especially love painting. There is something about mixing color, the flow of paint off the brush, and thinking about how to portray an image on canvas that is therapeutic, honoring to the subject or the Creator. I love that time when I'm "in the zone" of creating and painting! And I'm blessed when my work brings inspiration, courage or hope to others.
