In my Life Values Collection, I explore the connections between the divinely inspired values that sustain the good life. Perseverance, the first issue, considers life as a voyage through stormy seas -- a test of faith and a demonstration of God's sustaining love. Courage, expands on the metaphor of a sea voyage, bringing us to the moment of divine inspiration. New Horizons, my third Life Values print, continues the nautical theme, affirming that courage is rewarded by a dramatic expansion of horizons as we continue our life's voyage with boldness and assurance.

My New Horizons takes its inspiration from Dutch paintings that celebrate the timeless harbor of the 18th Century. As the more timid vessels make their way to the safety of harbor, the subject of our painting sails boldly forth exploring new horizons, when others may lack the courage to follow.

This classic ship sets sail under a dramatic sky, as "God's rays" pour from the heavens. The proud ship, confidently seeking New Horizons, reminds us that, with God's help, our life can be a bold exploration of all that is new and enticing in the world.
