Statement about your work: Acrylic paintings on torn paper. Pieces are sculpted on canvas or simply on paper.  My work contains multiple layers and is always finished with a Bible Verse.
Influences (artists, genres, etc): Anything creative I encounter.  I have recently been studying the St. John’s Bible for the beautiful calligraphy and paintings.
Fun Fact:  I have decorated my church the last five years for their missions convention.  We support over 500 missionaries and t he convention is the biggest Assembly of God convention in the country.  This year I designed several 11 foot tall and under African Masks to promote our Africa Special Project.  (While nine months pregnant!)
Misc: I have three children, Eva 6, Gabriel 3 and Levi 3 months.  My husband and I have been married almost 11 years and he helps with our art business.
