Father’s Garden (Xijia (Romee) Lai)

The LORD God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground—trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. (Genesis 2:9 NIV) This work draws from the Genesis account of the Garden of Eden, where humanity is placed within a world that is wholly given—formed, ordered, and sustained by God. Rather than presenting the garden as a distant origin, the painting approaches it as an ongoing condition
