“Light” is a #painting about the moment before everything changes—the quiet split-second when intention becomes action. Set against a swirling, cosmic backdrop, the hands of God (or man?) hold earth or another planet to the flame of destruction (or enlightenment?). The painting invites you to consider both the beauty and the weight of what we choose to ignite in our lives. It holds the tension between our power to create and our responsibility to care. #Light is for those who think deeply about #purpose, #stewardship, and the mystery of #existence, “Light” becomes more than an artwork. It’s a daily reminder that even the smallest spark—an idea, a conversation, a decision—can shape entire worlds. There’s a moment—right before we act—when everything is still possible.

“Light” was painted for the people who feel that weight: the therapists, teachers, spiritual guides, scientists, and quiet leaders who know their choices ripple out farther than they can see. If you’ve ever looked at our fragile little planet and felt both awe and responsibility, this piece is meant to live in your space. A reminder that what you choose to ignite today matters. Where in your life are you ready to strike the match?

    Juror’s Comments for the Advent exhibition at St John’s Church:

    I was struck by the originality and ambition of this painting. The imagery is a direct and symbolic interpretation of the theme of the show – the world being lit ablaze by the coming light. Technically, the artist has a strong understanding of the medium. The value range is also strong adding to the impact due to its high contrast. The pallet of warms and cools are rich and help to turn the form of figurative elements. Jared Seff
