Emerging: The Becoming of the Bride
A collection of faith-inspired visionary realism paintings and reflections.
About the Book
Emerging began as a collection of paintings created during my studies at the Milan Art Institute. As each new painting unfolded, I realized they were telling a greater story. Together they became the foundation for this book.
In 2024, I began a new art class and was required to complete twenty-five paintings for my graduate portfolio. What began as an assignment became building blocks for this book and the journey the Lord used to tell a story—from salvation to surrender.
The Call—hearing His voice and responding to His upward call…
Emerging—becoming who He created you to be and stepping into your calling…
Warrior - Bride—the spirit with which one must contend for the land, fight for truth as a Bride of Christ - both surrendered and warring, from a place of victory in Him…
Lifting of the Veil—where revelation knowledge begins to flow and one truly comes to understand who they are in Christ, the covenant relationship of being one with Him, the mind unmasked of lies - where truth prevails…
Unyielding Spirit—a Spirit that cannot yield to resistance, fleshly whims or earthly pressures. But one that yields completely, totally to Christ - to God’s Word - to the Spirit, to b led by the Spirit… To be led by the Spirit is joy and peace.
