I LOVE TO DRAW....

I really do. However, recent events have made it clear to me that now is the right time to make significant adjustments in this area of my life. Specifically, I have determined to no longer accept commissions of any kind, and instead intend to only work on projects that I am led or inspired to undertake. I believe that my work can be a ministry, for example when it is used to honor the dearly departed, or to illustrate some aspect of Christ's Life and Gospel. I originally accepted and encouraged commissioned work because I dreamt of one day pursuing art as a career and not just as a part time pursuit. I have decided, in light of my medical history, that to pursue this possibility would be irresponsible, especially given my commitments to my family. The need to have a secure job with good health benefits is simply too vital to my family and myself for me to entertain this dream any longer. More than this, working full time in another occupation gives me the opportunity that all artists long for: To create according to my own inspiration. All work displayed on this website will continue to be available to all in the forms of prints and cards according to client requests by email. I am especially grateful to all those who have commissioned work that at this time remains unfinished. You have been exceedingly generous in understanding and patience.
