Courage Worldwide

Not In My Country

I recently went to Africa to connect with a group called Courage Worldwide. They are fighting human trafficking by creating homes for rescued girls and informing leaders about what is happening in their local community.   I decided to give what I had, my ability to create.  So I did a live chalk pastel rendering of a young girl while Courage Worldwide shared their cause to about two hundred local Lutheran pastors in Masoka, Tanzania.  A piece of my heart was left in Africa.

People ask me, “Why do art?” Well, that is almost like asking, why I exist? Art is a part of me, if I’m not creating then I’m not fully existing. Ideas are always flowing in my mind and it only depends on how I decide to express those ideas and when. My art is constantly changing just as I am. I get inspired and wonder if I can do it. I accept the challenge, then try my best. Sometimes, I have an intentional meaning behind a work while other times the meaning comes during or after the created piece. There is no formula to art. I just do it.
