ART IS LIFE/ CJ'S HOUSE OF ART
|
I can create anything. Right hand- left hand doesn’t matter… I have been blessed with an endless well of creativity that I can tap into for my clients to complete their vision for their house, office, or gift.
Like a machine I can morph my style to meet my clients’ wants and needs. Whatever it is, I can create it for you. Let me bring your dreams and ideas to reality. Or perhaps there's something I have already painted or drawn that you love. There are original paintings and drawings available as well as prints of everything I have created. Don't wait though, some of the paintings only have limited edition prints...so they won't be available forever. |
To live is the rarest thing in the world. |
AdvocateSUICIDE PREVENTION/ WORDS MATTER
Words Matter is a suicide prevention exhibit that I started in 2016. Since its initial exhibition at Meridian City Hall Initial Point Gallery, I have displayed this exhibit at over 20 locations.
The exhibit consists of portraits of victims of suicide and portraits of those who have struggled but are still here and their stories. The portraits of the victims are gifted to families through the donations of friends, family and strangers. After enough has been raised, I take the portrait home to the family and keep a copy traveling with the exhibit. See the whole exhibit here. You can also donate there to help a family get their loved one's portrait.
