In 2008, when the U.S. economy crashed and people were losing their homes and jobs right and left, local artist Doug Nicholson picked up a paint brush.
In one session he painted darkness and despair and hopelessness, his brush illustrating the collective feelings of the nation.

âI painted it the week that everything collapsed, and this became a dark painting for me as opposed to the abstract paintings I normally do,â he said.
However, as a Christian, Doug believes in hope and light, hope as an anchor to hold onto during times of turmoil and uncertainty, and Jesus as the light of the world.
