My two passions are painting and orphans. Though they seem like completely different things, I have combined the two to spread the word about adoption, orphans and other issues such as HIV/AIDS and sex trafficking. As a mom to nine children, eight of them adopted internationally, I have personally been involved with these issues. I believe God entrusted me with this creative gift so that I can give a voice to those who aren't heard. I can make a difference in the life of another with some paper, paint and water.
