Even though he loves art since grade school days, the author did not have a chance to attend art school. After his college graduation, as the eldest son, he needed to quickly get a job to help support his widow mother with six children. As a math and science teacher, he volunteered to be an art teacher as well because of the shortage of teachers. After getting married, he then had to work to support his own family. However, he never failed to help doing artwork for his Baptist church, like painting many a backdrop of ten feet by thirty feet for children musicals, Easter and Christmas drama, etc.

Only after he was retired from pastoring the church that he seriously took up art as his hobby. That led him to become an international award-winning artist. Many would say he is self-guided, but he would rather refer to himself as a God-guided artist. He has painted numerous paintings of wildlife, flowers and birds, landscapes, portraits, etc. Some of the paintings as seen in this book have been sold to raise funds for missions and church-planting work. He likes to describe himself as a painter of His light ; that is, painting for the glory of God. Hence the title, My Story: Painting for His Glory.
