So why Lucky Stars?
Because deep, deep down my dream has always been to be a professional artist, but I just never thought it was a realistic path.
Because I want to spend my days leaving this earth better than I found it and because I keep forgetting how precious and swift this life is. I’ve been taking tomorrow for granted and I feel my time falling away from under me.
Because my kids look to me to show them what’s possible in this world. Art is my dream and I want to hunt that dream so relentlessly that it is engraved on the spirits of my children. I want them to know that anything is possible if they work hard enough.
Because I want my art to be my compass – ever pointing true north; a discipline, a devotion to a life well-lived.
My prayer for my art is that it:
encourages
inspires
emboldens
&
fortifies
I hope it shines light on dark days.
I hope it stirs the spirit and calls to the deepest, raw places of the heart.
I hope it lifts chins and squares shoulders.
And I hope it leaves the world brighter and its troubles lighter, even if only a little.
That’s enough for me.
