"Hope"
Acrylic on canvas

Hope is wrapped with faith, awaits, and reveals love. Hope is like a present. It is unwrapped and light shines on it. Hope rises and never falls. 


"Ask, Just Ask!"
Acrylic on canvas

Sometimes we forget to simply ask God for help, provision, guidance, etc.
Sometimes it's a lot easier than we make it.

"Me"
Collage on paper

Faith, painting, writing, singing, music, dance, missions, travel, Italia, rest, spontaneity, dreams, communication, child-like enthusiasm and silliness are just some of the symbols these cut-outs represent.

"Easter"

I was at a point in time where The Resurrection was really on my mind and wanted to come up with a depiction of it in a ceramic form - the details are subtle and taken with some artistic liberty. The "tomb" shows Jesus' shroud and the folded "napkin" that was placed over Jesus' head - this is a detail that often goes unnoticed in the discussion of whether Jesus did indeed rise from the dead - if someone stole his body then why fold the napkin? Also, in the custom of the sabbath dinner, when a person left the table to take care of a personal need, their headcloth was folded and placed on top of their plate to indicate that they would be returning. Jesus had told his disciples prior to his death that he indeed would be coming back. The disciples who went into the tomb on the morning of Easter, saw this evidence and Luke records this in his gospel. I also included a broken Roman seal on the "door" portion of the tomb to represent that something other than "grave robbers" came to take Jesus' body away or that he merely was strong enough himself to roll the stone away after having been "dead" for three days.


"Ezekiel's Wheel"

I was inspired to make this piece after having seen a bronze cast sculpture of "a wheel-like" shape and thought "I wonder if I could make a piece that has similar qualities?" - it was fired using a low fire technique developed in Japan known as Raku. Once the piece was completed, the passage in Ezekiel where he pens his vision (in chapter one) about God's omnipresence and His glory came to mind and thus "Ezekiel's Wheel" became its title.

My hope is that other pieces you will see in future blogs will be an inspiration to you - Scott Shaffer

Open Studio Session #1

Come to draw, paint, write, play music, pray, chat, dance, knit, laugh, eat, sew, type, think, relax, write to-do lists, sing, meet new friends, see (fresh-of-the-press) artwork, get feedback on other artwork, and just have a plain old good time. Come hang out!



Anyone have any pics from the other two?
