Favorite MOA Artwork:

Having many favorites, I honor the lasting value of Gabriel Dawe’s Plexus 29 for its suggestion of the Lord’s Covenant with Noah’s posterity, and Carl Bloch’s Christ Healing at Bethesda wherein the Sacrificial Son offers Himself for all mankind.

Favorite Part about the MOA:

Daily collaborations with gifted colleagues and = gracious benefactors in the process of acquiring, exhibiting and interpreting life-changing art and ideas.
