Bringing Peace through the Arts
Project : Peace
For the past few years, I have been trying to share my talent...
It takes many different forms, but I have recently discovered a love and passion for delivering art to the ones who need it most; those people who are on the brink.
From God through my hands - and your help
full confession…
I have been giving away art to families that have bore a great tragedy. I find these families and I will cry and cry, cry some more...
For years…
Some cases it will be a child who was killed, other cases are usually the hardest cases that involve many tears…
Our hope is to bring Peace back into these families.
Most (if not all) of the time, they have never heard of Project: Peace and I have only heard of them through news agencies. Someone is contacted anonymously and find a valid address; usually through verification of someone who knows the family, directly. All copyrights are released to the family and they may make legal copies; so they may give to other family members who cared for this child who are unknown.

We are the mission…
Not everyone has the talent, but many are responsible for this being possible. You can be part of the mission…
Whether you are an artist, or you can help financially.
I never choose the family, they are chosen for me.
In each drawing, the child is portrayed in a state of happiness, with beams of light shining from behind their precious heads;
Hoping that the ones who are left with the
child’s absence,
can feel peace knowing their
child’s innocence.
I will never reveal names against the family’s wishes;
if I were to do that, I would be benefiting from someone’s suffering. The project would definitely get more attention, but
“For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?”
The portraits are signed on the back with the year so the families know this is a real drawing and nothing to take away the focus; their child deserves to be portrayed in that eternal moment of everlasting life…
Each drawing is delivered matted, framed, and with a sympathy card to the family from Project: Peace.
from God through my hands - like a vessel.
I have been doing all of this out-of-pocket, and I can’t keep up with rising costs all on my own.
We wish to be able to do this Full Time one day; however, at this time, it isn’t possible.
We hope to do this, Full time…
Maybe one day, start a nonprofit where we can hire more artists, and our only mission is to deliver Peace; in the form of an affirmation that their child is at Peace.
This is not for us, this is for them.
If you wish to donate to Project: Peace…any amount helps:
$1 can buy the paper I draw on…
$2 will get the tools I draw with…
$3 - $5 covers the packaging materials…
$5 - $8 can get these portraits framed…
$10 - $15 can get these portraits to their families…
Anything over that gives this gift to multiple families…
Together, we can bring Peace back into the world,
one child at a time…
