what an extraordinary honour it is to celebrate my ten years of #extraordinaryratherthanordinary art with my first ever exhibition at The Gallery at Greens Farms Church from dec 1 to jan 12!
ten years ago, i stepped into my calling without even knowing this was going to be the beginning of a remarkable journey of sharing my art with people in my community and around the world; and sharing the message of how we are so loved.
“because i love you” is such a beautiful and powerful statement that we often forget applies to our own hearts. by understanding and having the belief that we are truly loved, we are embraced by this greatest love that provides refuge for us—like under the eagles’ wings—giving us a place where we can be safe and a place we can go to to share everything that we are going through in life. life can sometimes get rough, we go through storms, but we do it together and we are never alone.
my heart is filled with immense gratitude in knowing that God has put each and everyone of you in my life to be a part of my heart.
thus, you are a part of my art too and my art is the gift of my heart to you because, without you, i would not be where i am today.
so this first exhibition of my extraordinary art is my thank you to you and for the way God has shown up in my ten years of being His paintbrush.
