Reflections from the Artist
The Sea of Galilee has always captured my imagination—not just as a beautiful lake in Israel, but as a place woven into the life of Jesus. It’s nestled between the Galilee region and the Golan Heights, fed by the Jordan River, and though it’s only about 13 miles long, it’s full of meaning.
What moved me to paint it was my love of God’s word. I’ve read those passages so many times—where Jesus walked along the shore, taught the crowds, called His first disciples. I picture Simon Peter and Andrew dropping their nets, that quiet moment filled with awe and purpose. It’s incredible to think that such a seemingly peaceful place held moments that changed the world.
I’ve never been to Israel, but I hope to go someday. It’s the homeland of God’s chosen people and feels close, even from afar. For this piece, I used a reference photo from Todd Bolen’s ‘Pictorial Library of Bible Lands.’ Todd was kind enough to let me use his photos in my Bible land paintings, and I’m so grateful. They help me portray these places with reverence and accuracy.
Matthew 4:13–22 describes how Jesus left Nazareth and went to Capernaum. It was along the Sea of Galilee that He called His first disciples—Simon (also called Peter), Andrew, James, and John. I wanted this painting to reflect not just the geography, but the spiritual weight of what happened here. It’s more than a lake—it’s a place where heaven touched earth.

Your Feedback
“I love it and looked at the site. The “Sea of Galilee at Capernaum” put me in mind of something by Turner or some of the Hudson River schools. Wonderful stuff.” — josisenberg, SciFi & Fantasy Writers, Gab
“I really like your paintings–the portrait of your husband is very unusual in composition and the backlighting–wish I could see it in real life. Another [painting] that really caught my eye especially is the Sea of Galilee at Capernaum–the light in the sky is particularly indicative of something spiritual, even if one didn’t know a thing about the religious significance of the place.” — Elena M., Columbia, MD
