Dear Reader, In Spring, I held the largest exhibition of my work to date. I shared 40 artworks in the incredible Mattawoman Creek Art Center, and I’m immensely grateful and proud. The highlight was engaging with each of you and sharing my message of hope: We are all invited to Paradise. Paradise is around, in, and ahead of us. We are on a walk toward an eternal garden. Instead of waiting for it to be revealed, we can look around and see it now. And this is not something that we have to earn, but through faith, we can enter in now and forever. In my exhibit, there was an interactive station where visitors could write or draw their own response to what Paradise is. I noticed in this space that Children often have a clearer sense of what Paradise is. And I think that demonstrates their faith. We should all become like children, and with the faith of a child, we can begin to see Paradise everywhere. When we lose Paradise, we can ask them to show us again.
