Pickaxes swung down, rakes drug, shovels dug, wheelbarrows brimming with stone hauled for drowning in the bay; land softened for tilling and cultivating of seed. Ash flitted from iron drums placed on the farm’s paths lined by torrid, smoking barrel fires, which farmhands could not approach. “There is no need for the rubble,” the Farmer tasked his hired hands, “nor is there room for the weeds.

Walls overlooked the countryside, edifices laid before the horizon where the road slipped between the city’s gates into skies and clouds fading into golden hues.

We believe that all of life is worship. People worship something they are good at, something they want, something they fear, or something better than all of it. We believe that there is one God in three persons, a triune God revealed in the Old and New Testaments of the Christian Bible called the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.1 This Trinitarian God created and revealed Himself to people through His Word that they might know Him and worship Him.

A Theology of God’s Beauty and Art NOTE: Work in Progress More importantly, I hope that as this site works towards its mission, that Redemption Studio would develop its capabilities to glorify the one true God. I believe that glorifying God comes through worshiping him through the means he provides and has revealed; one of these means is through art and practicing creativity. The works of creation are vitally important to our society, culture, and world.

We set our Mission Statement as a guiding principle in decision-making that will help us achieve our Vision. Redemption Studio is a Christian art forum for artists, crafters, creators, makers, enthusiasts, and their families, friends, and guests. We fellowship by sharing, discussing, critiquing, and enjoying artwork in Jesus Christ. Redemption Studio seeks to be a place where imagination and faith meld together to illustrate the joys, sufferings, and mysteries of life, faith in Christ through the Gospel, and the gift and ability to partake in creation.
