covered in worship — the Alabanza series

The Alabanza Collection
Every painting in the Alabanza collection begins the same way — in prayer…
Created in my Denver studio and covered in prayer from the first brushstroke to the last, these works are not simply paintings. They are acts of worship. Alabanza — the Spanish word for praise — is both the name and the heartbeat of this series, rendered in layers of acrylic, ink, and metallic paint that catch light the way the sacred catches the soul. For details about the process click on The Process button below. Each piece is a deliberate act of devotion, from composition to completion. For those moved to bring something personal and sacred into their home, church, or place of business, commission inquiries are welcomed. Please inquire by submitting a commission request.
