"Shine through me, Joy of God,
Make me like Thy clear air
That Thou dost pour
Thy colours through,
As though it were not there."

project SHINE is a concept based on the scripture
"Christ in you, the hope of glory."  The premise being to allow the Christ in you to shine forth in a miriad of ways.  As a visual artist I shine on canvas, and encourage others to shine 
in their own unique giftings.

To accomplish this goal I am  involved in several projects.  The first is my river art.  Many mornings I am down in Falls Park in Greenville, SC  painting the Reedy River. It is a wonderful way to improve my painting skills, and talk with people
from all over the world.
 
The second is working with  local ministries  teaching folk art painting, and using it as a  tool to visually proclaim the good news. As a visual artist I delight in preaching the gospel in full color, and encourage and instruct others to do likewise!
