I began my journey in artistry January 5th, 2020. That evening, I had heard an unfamiliar call outside myself urging me, "pick up a pencil and draw." I chose to obey.

Prior to that moment, I had been divorced from my creativity and suffering in a way I couldn't comprehend. I had been a passive actor in my own life, everyday spent on autopilot became something of a silent betrayal in which I found myself complicit. In truth, I had silently resolved myself to a life that would have never fulfilled me. 

Drawing ignited a passion that was wholly unique. I experienced a radical sense of stillness, peace, joy and intimacy that had been foreign to me. I developed a sense of agency. Now capable of moving forward with intention, I assumed an active role in my own life. 

A few years later, I would come to find and surrender my life to Christ. As I now understand it, that once unfamiliar call that compelled me to pick up my pencil was borne of the Holy Spirit. I would expand my artistry to drawing, painting, writing and photography as vehicles to marvel and explore the beauty in His creation. 

My art exists as my humble way to shine light on the glory of Creation; to illustrate moments of encounter with the Holy Spirit; and to offer gratitude for all that I do not deserve but experience through the gift of His Son. 

"There's a secret place between silence, but within stillness. Found in the things which are often overlooked. Things labeled mundane, or ordinary. It's in these places that I continue to find You."
