REVEALING BEAUTY IN BROKEN PLACES & Inspiring Hope to Change our World

These days it can seem like darkness is all around us and it's hard to see through. Let me take you on a journey to exotic cultures in far off places where beauty is often found in the midst of brokenness.

You’re invited to view my reflections on the people, places, and stories of enduring grace uncovered in Rwanda and Cambodia, two countries that have suffered great pain and injustice. I believe that hope emerges as we engage with issues of injustice that surround us, discovering that each of us holds the potential to change our world.

These paintings are my Reflections of Hope.

This remarkable collection shows us the hope that exists, even in places of such trial and complexity. True beauty shines through Alain J. Picard’s latest exhibit. It offers inspiration for those who’ve known adversity in their lives while capturing moments of beauty we so easily miss.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. 
Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.
