I was in Portland, Oregon last weekend for the dedication of the altarpiece. Actually it is at Reformation Lutheran Church in Hillsboro. In this picture I am standing with Pastor Steven Brockdorf. I was thrilled to be able to meet the congregation and present an art lecture after the service. When a conservative church body commissions a work of art to enhance worship, it is something to celebrate. It is most satisfying to do a work of art that supports the Christian faith. The artwork directs the thoughts of the congregation in a way that blank walls and brick can't possibly, and in the media drenched age we are in, this is an exciting event.
