About Me: Let's Get to Know Each Other

Verse of the Day:

Jeremiah 29:11

"For I know the plans I have for you", declares the Lord, "Plans to prosper you and not harm you, to give you hope and a future."

My artistic and life-long objective is to build and maintain intimate connections with the people around me through my works. Weither you buy a painting from me, a book, a sketchook/Journal or simply agree to meet with me over coffee, I treat every interaction with great care, love and respect. My desire for this closeness is partially due to how I was raised. Community wasn't something that was just talked about, it was the heart of my childhood experience and one that I am thankful for. Without further or do, here's a little insight about me, feel free to share your story in the comments below!
