I AM - Soft Cover

<p>In the spring of 2025 ten years after being told I was legally blind I was invited to be one of the artists participating in an inspirational journey- the Stations of the Cross. </p><p></p><p>This however wasn't a traditional interpretation of this ancient theme-it included other elements designed to make the viewers think and allow God to speak through art. I was assigned to paint the Good Shepherd.</p><p></p><p>As I researched shepherds I became aware that there were six other instances in the Gospel of John where Jesus said of Himself I AM following after God's statement to Moses - I AM who I AM.</p><p></p><p>Jesus said:</p><p>I AM the Door</p><p></p><p>I AM the Light of the World</p><p></p><p>I AM the True Vine</p><p></p><p>I AM the Good Shepherd</p><p></p><p>I AM the Bread of Life</p><p></p><p>I AM the Way the Truth and the Life</p><p></p><p>I AM the Resurrection and the Life</p><p></p><p>I decided to do paintings based on all seven I AM statements in the Gospel of John.</p><p>The result is the I AM Project which includes all seven images and my thoughts while creating them.</p>
