I started painting back when I was 10 years old in the streets of New York city. Went to the school of Art and Design high school in Manhattan New York. Got involved with the wrong crowd, my paintings and murals took on a negative, void and lifeless feel, a reflection of my soul. Fast forward 20 years after an encounter with god. My life changed practically over night. For 26 years now I paint the word of god prophetically and evangelistically. I paint live in worship services, or concerts. Sometimes I have no idea what God is going to show me. But the moment I put my brush on the canvas I see a vision of what God wants me to paint. Sometimes I could be in a worship service and start to sketch or paint and the Lord shows me who to give the painting to. Or sometimes my paintings go right along with the service. He just blows my mind each and every time truly amazing. I believe that God is going to do some extraordinary things in the visual arts. People will get healed, God will use an art work to speak volumes to people. We know that dance, drama, song, and music are truly amazing when it's anointed. In these last days God is going to raise up anointed visual artist that will affect the very fabric of all walks of life. Their is a silent dialog between you and the painting that goes on quietly in your soul, your spirit. Their are words that can not be expressed or uttered. But the spirit who searches our hearts and knows the mind of God is able to intrepid our most deepest desires. You can say the same thing with art as you are creating the holy spirit is their guiding your hand and expressing on canvas what the spirit is saying.
