Although a mature sunflower blossom will not actually move over a day's time to face the sun, this one appears to break the mold. You get a sense of the plant's welcome and gratitude toward the source of its photosynthesis. Well, I don't think plants have emotions, but I do think they inspire us humans both aesthetically and theologically. Climate change and global warming make us realize just how much we are connected to the earth, and that this earth is a gift of God. This sunflower plant appears to know this already.

Chuck's creative background is wide and varied. He was a professional violinist, a published author, a multilingual graphic designer, a community college teacher, a Lutheran (ELCA) pastor, and a book designer (interior and covers). As a result, his work could be broadly categorized as digital art. His graphic design influences his digital art; and his digital art has features of his design work. In other words, they overlap. Someone put it this way: "What you do is not traditional art, and it isn't strictly graphic design. It's somewhere in-between." Chuck says he couldn't have said it better.
