A collection exploring the God who meets the overlooked, the forgotten, and the searching.

"You are the God who sees me." Genesis 16:13

Before they were noticed by the world, they were already known by God.

Throughout Scripture, we encounter people carrying burdens that often go unseen. Hagar in the wilderness. The Samaritan woman at the well. The woman reaching through the crowd.

Yet again and again, God meets them exactly where they are.

The God Who Sees is a collection of paintings inspired by those sacred encounters. Each piece reflects a moment when God's compassion interrupted someone's story, reminding us that no life is too broken, too ordinary, or too forgotten to be fully known by Him.

Though separated by centuries, these encounters reveal the same unchanging God. He met Hagar in the wilderness, the Samaritan woman at the well, and the woman reaching through the crowd. Different lives, different circumstances, yet each met by the same God who sees, pursues, and restores.

Each painting captures a different moment, a different life, and a different glimpse of God's character. Together, they invite us to look beyond the familiar details and consider the people at the center of these stories. Their circumstances were different, but the heart of the God who met them never changed.

Every encounter reveals His character

THE GOD WHO SEES.

Not just crowds.

Not just nations.

People.

A woman drawing water alone.

A weary servant in the wilderness.

A woman reaching through the crowd.

Three lives. Three encounters.

Yet every story reveals the same truth:

God sees what others overlook.

Living Water

John 4:1-30

The well was a place of routine, yet it became the place where everything changed. This painting captures the quiet beauty of an unexpected encounter, reminding us that God often meets us in the ordinary moments of everyday life.

“Whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst."

 — John 4:14

El Roi

Genesis 16:7–14

Sometimes the wilderness becomes the place where we know God most deeply. Hagar's story reminds us that no season of loneliness or uncertainty escapes His notice. The God who met her there continues to meet us today.

"You are the God who sees me."

— Genesis 16:13

Made Well

Mark 5:25–34

Faith led her hand to the hem of His garment, but grace invited her into His presence. This moment reminds us that Jesus never treated people as interruptions. He welcomed them, saw them, and restored them completely.

"Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace."

 — Mark 5:34

ABOUT THE ARTIST

My work is rooted in a love for storytelling, a curiosity about Scripture, and a desire to explore the character of God through paint.

I hope to create art that becomes more than something you see, but something you live with, reflect on, and treasure.
