The Flame Within the Sea
At the heart of this collection is The Flame Within the Sea — a monumental acrylic mural installed in the Golisano Community Engagement Center prayer chapel at Roberts Wesleyan University. Created in collaboration with Rochester muralist Shawn Dunwoody and fellow experimental media students, the piece serves as a visual outcry: a call for truth, justice, and divine light in a darkening world.
The full series takes inspiration from Josh Garrels’ prophetic album Love & War & The Sea In Between, blending raw expression, layered spiritual symbolism, and large-scale canvas work. Each painting explores the tension of living in the last days — from the crimson storms of judgment to moments of still, watchful presence amid chaos.
Rendered in vivid acrylic on canvas, these works act as both visual lament and invitation. They confront the viewer with the gravity of Revelation while holding fast to the enduring hope promised in Jesus Christ. This is art made not to decorate, but to awaken.
The Headlong Fields of Armageddon
To break the silence and the power, holding back the others from their glory
every story will be written soon the blood is on the moon
The Snake, the Doomed, the Lawless One
How do good men become part of the regime
they don’t believe in resistance
Ulysses’ Venture: Finding His Waiting Bride
Everyone I’ve loved seems like a stranger in the night
but oh my heart still burns, tells me to return, and search the fading light
So tie me to the mast of this old ship and point me home
before I lose the one I love, before my chance is gone
I want to hold her in my arms
Striding Through the Twelve Gates
Hold fast my people and sing
through peace and through suffering
all for the joy that it brings, to be free
