Artist Statement

Father, I bow down on my knees before you. Humble my heart and guide my thoughts to honor you. Thank you for allowing me to see your marvelous works. Your creation is infinitely beautiful and indescribable in words. Thank you for using us to administer your grace and to demonstrate your glory. All praise is to you. I pray that you would do something wonderful with this exhibit and the people exposed to it. Might your love shine over this community and help those in need. I ask these things in your son’s holy name. It is so.

Special Thanks:

Shannon Black – You are my light. Thank your for all your loving help.
Jeremy Kolars – None of this would have been possible without you. Thank you for inspiring us all.
Thank you to the numerous family members, friends, co-workers, and our community for your support.
Donate Life – Thank you for helping to spread a message of hope and love.

The “I saw life” exhibit is made up of macro photographs I was fortunate enough to take in the last 8 months in the Mankato area. You will also notice mementos  I picked up “Along the Way” throughout the space. All bids start at $1, and all proceeds will be given to the Donate Life organization, helping to educate the public and to advance organ and tissue donation.
