About The Painting

"For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.” (1 John 5:4)

I began this painting in January 2019, wanting to convey the idea of coming through the other side of trials a better person. However, it sat unfinished in my studio for over a year, always taking the backseat to other projects. Then as the world became more and more complicated through 2020 this painting continued to give me hope. I had been through hard things before, times when life was so overwhelming you felt under water and were desperate for air. Yet, as I looked to God through those moments, He helped me to find peace in the storm, and a quiet reassurance that things would get better. And guess what? The sun came back into my life again, the storm passed, and I found a transformed self on the other side. I remember once praying that my life could be normal again, that I could be normal again, but I later realized that God didn’t want the old me, He had a new edition waiting all along. So I know we will make it through the current struggles; storms always pass. However, if we put our faith in God, He can help us find peace in the present and make us into better people in the process.
