a little about the artist

"Wow." That was all that came to mind as I stood amidst the clouds on top of a mountain

in the middle of the Italian Alps. Completely out of breath from the hike but overflowing

with a sense of accomplishment, I raised my head to look around. As I gazed out into the

mountains and valleys that rose and sank into the distance like waves, the sense of

accomplishment was quickly engulfed by wonder. "This is true art."

​

"In the beginning, God created..." (Genesis 1:1). The very first words of Scripture establish

God as the Divine Artist. Early on in my life I recognized the significance behind this. If

God is an artist, and I was created in the image of God, then I am in turn blessed to be an

artist as well. God gave me the gift of my imagination and the ability to craft it into being

using my hands. Every time I pick up a brush, I reflect the same creative act that called

those Italian mountains into being, that made the stars, and that created me. And so, I live my life by the motto of Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati: "Verso l' Alto" which means "to the heights". This challenge to do everything to the best of your ability and to constantly move forward is at the heart of everything I do, especially my art.

​

I am a 22 year old freelance artist from Upstate New York. I started drawing at a very early age but didn't really start working on my gift until I was 18. I have worked in many mediums, such as pencil, pen and ink, all different kinds of paint, charcoal, graphic art, woodworking, craft work, and I have worked with countless styles. My artwork has been sold nationally and I have even had some work in an art exhibition in London. Art is a retreat for me, a place where can encounter God in the strokes of my pen. It is a place where I can find myself and loose myself at the same time.

​

Through my artistic gift, God has invited me to create and to craft. I will journey on in my imagination, I will strive for the heights and I will use the power of beauty to evoke wonder as long as I can hold a pencil.
