Precipice of the Cataract, Psalm 145:5, 2026
Oil on panel
Niagara Falls represents the timeless, unstoppable force that deïŹnes the Western New York spirit. This painting is intended to serve as a reminder of our deep historical roots, our shared heritage, resilience, and the awe-inspiring majesty that continues to deïŹne our home.
The title and theme echo Psalm 145:5, inviting viewers to pause at the "precipice" and meditate on the majestic, wondrous works of both creation and history. Placed here, high above the ïŹeld where modern gatherers come to witness feats of strength and community, the painting serves as a reminder of deep roots, shared journeys, and natural marvels.
