This painting is a personal one,and even anyone can relate with their own story.

I wanted to share with our Creatives Arise community that my artwork 'Emmanuel - God with Us' has just been recognized with the SPECIAL FEATURED ARTIST of DISTINCTION AWARD on Fine Art America! I'm humbled and honored to be selected. I hope you all take a look and enjoy the painting! This soulful painting portrays Jesus standing serenely behind a young, tearful child, gently reassuring him with His enduring love, peace, and comfort. The boy cradles a small lamb—an emblem of the saving grace found in the sacrifice of the Lamb of God. Fully embodying both humanity and Divinity, Jesus understands the struggles we face in this world. Surrounded by an ornate 'gold simulated frame', the image evokes reverence and Divine authority, beautifully capturing the heart of our Savior.

Some of you know I’m working on several pieces at the moment, including my Lutheran Mass and a few orchestral projects. What people often find surprising is this:Most of my music begins as a moment of worship or a spontaneous improvisation. I sit at the piano, play a few notes, and suddenly something open’s in these moments I sense the Lord most clearly — almost like the melody arrives before I fully understand it. Creativity is not just expression…It’s encounter. 👉 I’d love to hear:Do you ever sense God’s presence in the middle of your creative process?How does it happen for you?
