Pics of Art for Sale

This is my art up at Zoe's coffee shop. It's not in a high-traffic area unfortunately but please look for it if you are there!



This one sold already! Praise God! Even though it was hard to let go, I'm glad I did, especially as someone with connections to the 'art world' bought it!


A triptych batik I made only a month ago


Man, this one is gonna be hard to let go!

From the imagination of yours truly.
It's ok if you don't understand!




An African Landscape


Another Batik (Batik is an Indonesian/African art form by the way!)

Art for Africa


Hey everyone! Thanks for checking the blog already. I plan to keep this thing up to date for sure! This morning I took the time and organizational energy (which is limited in my case!) to set up artwork at Zoe's in Downtown Greeley. I plan to sell my artwork there as another fundraiser for my Africa Mission. Zoe's is located at 715 10th Street for those of you who don't know. Also it is a non-profit coffee house of Christ Community Church.

FYI: some of these items for sale are otherwise on my NFS list. I hope you like 'em as much as I do!

The Adventure Begins Here


As many of you are aware, I have longed to go to Africa for a very long time. I thank you so much for your encouragement of these desires. By God’s good grace and perfect timing, I am now presented with the opportunity to serve the people and the culture that I have been mysteriously drawn to for so long.

Last fall, I began seeking opportunities to go on such a missionary journey. I had felt the Spirit confirming my desires through a recent trip to Haiti. Unlike any mission trip I had been on in the past, this time I knew God was asking me to take the initiative. I was eventually led to Africa Inland Mission (AIM) as the organization that would be best for my situation. They have found an urgent need for me to fulfill. I will be with the Andersons, a missionary family that is located in Kalacha, Kenya. By the time I arrive, this family will have a brand-new member of their family! I will meet them in Kijabe where the baby will be born and ‘when the time is right’ we will go back to Kalacha together. Kalacha is located in the Chalbi Desert and is home of the Gabra people. I will be assisting the family with home-schooling and anything else they would have me do to help out during this time. In the afternoons, there will be opportunities to help with a variety of ministries in the community, such as the Nomadic Girls School. I feel blessed to be able to help out in so many ways. This mission assignment seems to be perfectly orchestrated by God!
