Artist Statement
By Robert Kevin Meyers
To me art is A Reliant
Testimony that reveals the love of the soul.
Art is to change us and in at least some simple way
It must glorify God while reminding the viewer of Him.
To invoke the spiritual presence that is forever with us
is the basic responsibility of the artist.
I hope and pray that every piece of my art,
The Creator's light is seen and felt by everyone.
May the Holy Spirit lift us to a higher place,
And bring us back home to heaven's grace.
