Hello my friend, Happy New Year! I hope you enjoyed your holidays. I took a little break to allow myself time to recharge, but now I'm back! Let's catch up. As you (hopefully) know, my solo exhibition is now just over a month away—31 days to be exact. So that is my focus from now until then. I am hard at work in the studio. In my last email, I talked about worship. I want to expound on this topic. Specifically how, not only is this exhibition about exalting and worshipping God, but so is my...

Hi friend! I don't usually send this many emails, but I just had to let you know this.

Dear reader, supporter, and friend, Firstly, Thank You. Thank You for believing in me and my art. Thank you for supporting me. This has not been easy. When I picked up a paintbrush in 2017, I did so for very personal reasons. I had no intentions of sharing, let alone selling, my art to the public. I made art for me. To help my soul heal from all the painful experiences I've lived through. Over the past eight years, I have grown, not only as an artist, but as a person as well. I have tested...
