Artist Statement

This painting shows many pathways of life. As I painted this I felt full of grief for lost loved ones but as I painted I felt as if I went on a journey and this helped me see that we need to celebrate a well lived life after a death. And remember the joy we shared with our loved ones and friends who have passed away.

How it fits into contest

The shielding armor of the Holy Trinity takes care of our many phases as we go through life's journey. I see the Holy armor of my lord and Savior as a light that shines from within.
