DESTIG BEST ARTISTS OF 2019

"I consider my art Spiritual Abstract. Most dear to my heart is “Stephen” the first Martyr."

"Love is Art and it is being lost in the world today."


 
Born in Oklahoma, raised in Christian faith Denver, Co., enjoyed many talks with my mother and grandma about God and the Bible throughout my early life. After high school, I attended local community college. I was living life as a responsible young adult not a "student.” Eventually, I dropped out of college. My love for the arts started to show through music and photography early on "not too serious".... I've now come to appreciate the art of painting a lot more. After a few years wandering through life, the desire to travel the world began to grip my soul. While on life's journey, I was blessed to create friendships with great people from many different cultures.

​My life is full of wonderful experiences and beautiful friends. For an introvert who is definitely a loner, I can only look back and be grateful. For the remainder of my days, I will seek to share a love found for all within my heart! That love comes from God and is found in my art. I consider my art Spiritual Abstract. Most dearest to my heart is “Stephen” the first Martyr in the New Testament is part of a collection entitled “Wine of Canvas” was a very unique, spiritually-led experience. The most beautiful thing about God, besides His loving kindness... He is allowing me to know & love myself. For if you know God, then you know who you are.
​

This loving relationship is teaching me that even when I think / assume what will take place at the start, He always reveals a plan that is very different from what I had originally assumed. For example, at times I think / assume what I’m going to create God flips the script 10,000 times & I’ve created His will not mine. That is how Stephen (and most of my pieces) came to be. God is in my paintings and I'm just grateful to share with the world.

"An amazing lesson of how much control one truly has? One cannot move nor rush time, it requires adjustment of one’s movement."
​

Tell us about your background. 
My childhood was filled of love &
joy. The greatest of friends one could only have hoped for... love, trust, a true bond. Years of growing and experiencing life itself led to  realizing that love is the greatest act of humility given to man.


Tell us about your work.
It's somewhat new to me creativity concerning the oils & experiences with brushing. As the spirit moves the brush strokes begin... a truly wonderful and unique journey of peace... unique in it's purest form.
