ARTIST STATEMENT
My love for art was passed down to me from my Father. From him, I became intrigued with words and lettering as he was a billboard painter. Art has always been apart of me. In 2010, my life fell apart, I lost everything and found God. As a result, I embraced my faith, the gift of art and combined the two. I create to encourage and inspire.
