Each painting in the ‘Glory’ collection captures a different moment or theme from the book, reflecting the struggles, triumphs, and complexities of the characters and their journey. Through bold brushstrokes and vibrant colors, (Copper being the dominate color) I aim to convey the energy and spirit of the story, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the world of Glory and experience its power and beauty.
I hope that this collection will inspire others to explore the themes of the book and reflect on their own experiences of oppression, freedom, and the pursuit of glory. May these paintings serve as a tribute to the resilience of the human spirit, and a celebration of the potential for change and growth in even the darkest of times.
