"Painting is not just a picture, it is the vision of the spirit of the artist." - Elsie Manaloor
I had no formal training in painting, however I used to appreciate paintings especially related to nature. Since my primary goal was to become a Medical Doctor I had little time to spare for painting.
​
After finishing my MBBS and while I was doing my MD I did my first landscape painting and gave it to my parents. Later after moving to Canada and then to USA I was again focusing on my medical career. With responsibilities at home I was left with little time to paint and the only time was my hard earned vacation.
​
Touched by the endless beauty and marvel of God’s creation and the numerous references in the Bible to nature and by Jesus Christ in His teachings of the parables I started to paint using Biblical themes.
​
In spite of my limited ability and lack of time I realized that the constant and abundant grace of God was all sufficient. When I look back at my paintings I am surprised how God guided me in unforeseen ways and help me finish my paintings better than my own expectations.
​
The painting “Divine Consultant" testifies of the constant wisdom and guidance He gave me while diagnosing the hematologic problems in each of my patients.
​
Although painting is time consuming and exhausting I have great pleasure in reviewing them and the Biblical verses brings profound comfort to my soul and increases my faith in Jesus Christ.
I hope and pray that God Almighty will give each of the viewer’s similar experience in their walk with God. I would also like to acknowledge the help and support I received from my husband Joy and children Santhosh & Sumodth and encouraging me do my paintings.
