Artist’s Notes
In the spring of 2002, Valley Springs Church in Roseville, California, approached me and a few other artists, asking us each to create a visual piece for their new coffee shop. The coffee shop was in the process of being finished and through a series of discussions had just been named “the underground cafe’.” Valley Springs Church wanted to acknowledge and remind others that in many parts of the world, because of religious persecution, followers of Jesus have been forced to take their worship “underground”— to meet, pray and fellowship together behind closed doors, in basements, and in living rooms with blinds drawn. This print is what I created for that specific space.

Sam,
Amy and I moved into a new house and have lots of wall space to cover. I love your art, and hope to buy something. I like this one in particular, and I'm trying to get Amy to agree to buying it...
