Without Excuse Creations
Artist's Statement

Someone once said that the natural universe, the creation around us. is "...a kind of corporeal and visible Gospel." I believe that is true.  Nearly 2,000 years ago the Apostle Paul wrote:

For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. (Romans 1:20 NIV)

It is my prayer that these drawings may prompt us to closely examine and consider the awesome beauty and infinite wonder of nature,... God's "general revelation." In doing so. may we also begin to examine His "special revelation" with new eyes, an honest and probing intellect and a childlike, willing heart.

     "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning."
     "Through him all things were made. In him was life, and that life was the light of men..."
     "The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth."

(John 1:1,2...14 NIV)
