“Painting is a spiritual exercise,” Arens explained. “If you believe in God, if you believe in the creation of all of it, and us as a part of it, that’s part of your experience when you go to a place, or see people. You’re experiencing that creative energy. And painting, in some ways, is trying to communicate that spiritual experience.”
