“Being gifted and endowed by God, coupled with hard work, brought me to where I am as an artist. Art illuminates my world. My artistic vision is to create images that reveal the beauty within and beyond me. What I feel, see, and hear, somehow come together in a multidimensional way. I love the creative ability that God has given me, and I give Him all the glory. I feel most alive when I paint. All of my senses are engaged, and I respond to, and I feel moved by, and into something larger than my being. I received no academic training in art; therefore I take the creative approach exclusively, which results in a vital individual style of expression.” – WER
