I love painting churches and houses the most because that's where people share their lives and their hearts. You really get to know people by being in their homes; that's where they are most real.  Church is a place where people can share their lives and their hearts with those outside of their immediate family and become part of a bigger community.

Community is what gives life to a building; what makes it comes alive. This is what I seek to capture in my paintings of the homes and churches that I paint.
