Most recently, I’ve been working on a series called Imago Dei [image of God]. I believe that all people are in some measure creative. In fact, it is part of the image of God to be creative—part of what makes us human. In the first two pieces in this series, I deliberately chose a person familiar to most; the other only to a certain few. Both of these individuals create. They embody the idea that as the creator creates, man—made in His image, imbued with his attributes—creates.
