 About Renato Barraza

Growing up in the urban sprawl of Los Angeles, California a part of me craved intensely an intimacy with a "greater presence" that I easily found while in sparsity of nature. 

 

In my four years at St. Olaf College I began growing in my faith in Christianity and into a greater understanding of the true immensity of our God. A God that is truly present in every moment from the tinniest of tadpoles lined in a string of eggs, to the intimacy and love in a friendship between two people. 

 

My goal with the work presented here is to join together, explore and share the grandeur, love, and compassion that is truly present in all of life. In every moment God is present and as we open our eyes we are able to truly see the connection, tenderness, and power that binds all of life together. As our eyes are opened we are able to step freely into a new way of life.

 

Beginning in the Fall of 2016 I will be living in Northfield, Minnesota interning with Prepare Ministries in discipleship training as well as Life 21 Church, while continuing to create art!
