My friend Takiyah told me about her experience with God’s abundance in her childhood and throughout her life. The gospel narrative that most resonated with her was The Feeding of the Five Thousand. We started exploring what this might look like in a modern setting, and this painting is the outcome of those discussions. I imagined Takiyah in a contemporary setting as one in the crowd who volunteered to serve the fish and loaves as they multiplied.
The background is one of my favorite spots on White Rock Lake with the skyline of Dallas.
