This ink study is based on a dream I had in August. In the dream, I saw many people digging in the night to build a huge structure to house three idols. Men and women were relentlessly digging. I was there to see what kind of work was being done, and as I walked through […]

The Real Treasure
Let It Shine
My seven-year-old son came up with the idea for this painting—from the Edison light bulb to the star and the wise men, it was all his idea. I listened to his little heart as Jesus spoke through him. “Let it Shine” was the theme for the Christmas service in 2024, and I had the privilege […]
Where is God in Tragedy?
When tragedies happen, the biggest cry of human heart is, where is God in all of this or why didn’t an omnipotent God stop the tragedy? Even as a believer in the goodness of God, I am not immune to these questions. Last night while looking at the news on California fires, my heart had […]
What is Freedom?
My mixed media painting, Freedom, addresses this question. Scroll down to purchase my original painting “Freedom”. “What exactly is freedom?”, I asked Jesus one night before I went to bed. God often speaks to me through dreams, and that night, I had a powerful dream about what is NOT freedom.Words in modern vocabulary often minimize […]
Jehovah Tsidkenu
After not painting for a month, I opened my Bible, hoping to hear from God and be inspired. The first scripture that I read was Isaiah 11:1,“There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse, and a branch from his roots shall bear fruit. ” (written between 740 and 701 BC). Then, I […]

His presence is gentle, sweet, and life-giving. Honey has healing properties.When my kids were little and when they had seasonal allergies,one of the local farmers […]
See
For months, I had been reflecting on this scripture, even written it on a note card placed on my desk as a constant reminder. Interestingly, eyes have also been a recurring theme in my recent paintings. The scripture reads, “having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to […]

Elohim
This was painted live during worship and here’s a little bit of back story for those interested. To keep the post length manageable, I am formatting it differently than usual. Still long though 🙃 1. I pour water mixed with different colors (red, yellow, blue) in small cups to create background– I see water and […]
Unsearchable
Books, stacks and stacks of books. Growing up in India, my relationship with books was simple – test score. I read books, when needed, so I could pass my tests. My school had a small library and we weren’t allowed to check out books. We could read it and give it back before exiting the […]
