Children will inherit the earth. We witness unprecedented change at the wink of an eye. Building community on moral standards by creative, visionary, non-violent means of expression is key to my witness as the child of an awesome Creator.

Our true identity is locked in symbols of a wonder filled Creator
Everything I ever wanted to know I learned in the art room. 1. Art is life. Life art. Being famous has nothing to do with it. Loving God has everything to do with it. Live it fully now. 2. Share your ideas and they’ll become reality. Share your materials and you’ll have grateful friends. Share your art and you’ll never be alone. 3. Know your limits. There are no limits to what God can accomplish through you. 4. Create something new everyday. It opens clogged minds every time. 5. Hate Art? Read a book, sing a song, tell a story, dance a jig, count stars, make a cake. They all involve art. 6. Doodle something and give it away. It will cheer hearts…the doodler and the doodle-ee. 7. Sharpen both ends of a pencil. Scribble, figure, write. Life’s too short to erase. 8. Make a greeting card and send it to yourself. 9. Dream big. Draw big. Never stop making. 10. Drawing well and drawing water from a well require the same basic ingredients: time and effort. To live fully, give fully. Recycle yourself…refer back to 1.
