Fruits of the Spirit
Nine original oil paintings by Jairus J Miller · 2026

What does it look like when the unseen begins to bear fruit?

Inspired by Galatians 5:22–23, this collection explores love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Through symbolic imagery and expressive color, each painting gives visible form to a quality we are called to cultivate within.

Together, these nine works reflect on the tenderness, struggle, and faith that spiritual growth requires. Each invites you to pause, see yourself within its story, and consider what is taking root in your own life.

The curse set before us,
from the years long ago that we thought we buried.
The cries from the grave,
still finds a voice in the way we live.

Our ancestors' hardships and frustration.
Leaving wounds they never knew they carried, now bleeding through the lives we live today.
The cycle, the curse reaches for the ones to come.
But the works of the enemy is now exposed.
What we refuse to confront,
the ones not here yet, may be forced to carry.
For we, too, are the ancestors-
and the future will inherit what we don't heal, what we don't reveal, and what we decide to abandon.
