Hands I
I took this photograph three years before I became a believer.
A smoker's hand. A cigarette being pressed out. An ashtray full of butts. And right beside it — the Holy Bible and the Crucifix.
I didn't fully understand what I was making at the time.
This image speaks to the tension every believer knows but rarely says out loud — the gap between who we are and who we're trying to be. The sin that's visible. The shame that asks the quiet question: when I've fallen short again, will the Father really sustain His patience and grace for me?
The answer this photograph gives me, every time I look at it, is yes.
No sin can outlast the omnipotent patience, mercy, and grace of our Heavenly Father.
This print is for the person who wants the daily reminder of the everlasting grace and patience of Jesus Christ.
Printing by my own hands using archival pigment ink and archival fine art paper rated to last 200 years.

Every print in this studio is made by hand, by me, when your order comes in. That means it takes a little longer than a warehouse — and it means what arrives at your door was made with intention, not pulled off a shelf.

Because each print is made specifically for you, I don't accept returns. If something about your order isn't right, reach out and we'll find a solution together.
