Sandy Ceas
A "calling" is the most satisfying form of work because, as gratification, it is done for its own sake rather that for the material benefits it brings. I have been called to make art that expresses the knowledge, wisdom and love of God. My work is not iconographic or didactic, but is constructed to evoke emotional inquiry into the biblical content and intent of the visual presentation. I believe art is a language that God desires to reclaim.
