“Ezikiel’s Walk”

Ezekiel’s Walk

When I painted this piece, I was reminded of Ezekiel’s vision of the valley of dry bones (Ezekiel 37). The cool blues and rising white forms represent the lifeless bones being clothed with flesh, standing again as God breathes His Spirit into them.

Running through the painting are deep crimson slashes, like wounds across the canvas. They remind me of Isaiah 53:5 — “by His stripes we are healed.” These marks aren’t just about suffering; they symbolize the blood of Christ that brings healing and new life. What once was broken is restored, not just patched together, but made alive again through His sacrifice.

In the center, you can make out a faint figure in a cloak, holding a staff. To me, this is the Shepherd walking through the valley — guiding, declaring, and overseeing the miracle of restoration. Whether you see Ezekiel prophesying, or Christ Himself as the Good Shepherd, the meaning is the same: God steps into our valleys and speaks life where there was only death.

Others who have looked at this painting have seen different visions in it:

• One person shared, “As some things fall, others rise up,” a reminder that God is constantly bringing transformation — death giving way to life, despair giving way to hope.

• Another saw an image of the rapture, when believers are caught up with Christ (1 Thessalonians 4:16–17).

For me, this is the beauty of prophetic art: I don’t just paint images, I paint what is in the atmosphere — or what needs to be released into the atmosphere. Each stroke carries not just color, but a prayer, a word, a release of what God is doing in the unseen.

My prayer is that when you look at Ezekiel’s Walk, you’re reminded that no matter how dry or hopeless a situation feels, God’s Spirit can raise it up and make it new.
