I chose the story of Noah and the ark because it shows a promise from God that is true up till today! I also chose it because I love animals.

Genesis 1:1 says God created the heavens and the earth. That was the beginning of His creation. He created everything from the largest to the smallest. He created the gigantic universe and the smallest cells in us. He created us and has the best plans for each and every one of us. We have hope because He is still in control.
I made this piece to remind us of God’s promise that His mercies and compassion are new every morning. The felt spring blossoms are meant to bring to mind a new season. God is faithful. After the flood, He promised that as long as the earth remains, the cycles would continue predictably. This is God’s grace towards His creation. The birds, small as they are, which sing at the dawn of each new day, are also under God’s care. Because God is so merciful, faithful and loving, we can place our trust and hope in Him!
The hand in the artwork represents our Father in Heaven, who protects us – as represented by the globe. The colours dripping away from the hand represents the evil things of this world.
Noah was a righteous man amongst the corrupted in his generations. During the flood, he was kept safe along with the animals in the ark, for he had found favour in God’s eyes. When the flood was over, God made a rainbow appear and promised Noah that He would not destroy the earth again.
