About
i am an artist. i am a christian. i am human. what does that mean? it means sometimes i fail. it means sometimes i'm not "perfect". everyday i become closer to the heart of God. as i grow closer to God i don't worry what others may think. everyday is a step, a part of a process. i haven't arrived yet.
as an artist i strive to create at a greater level of excellence and creativity than the day before. to take people on an emotional roller coaster ride that doesn't just create awe, but forever impacts their life. i strive to create with authenticity. without fear. and encourage other creatives to do so as well.
i am an artist with 6ft Studios, an organization dedicated to supporting, encouraging, and challenging the arts in individuals and churches. for more information about 6ft Studios check out www.6ftstudios.com.
