ART + MINISTRY
A portrait series and faith-based initiative
Seeing people clearly no matter their appearance, hardships, or struggles. Honoring their dignity, sharing a story, and following Christ.
Using art to help — directly.
50% of each sale goes directly back to the subject of the portrait or a charitable organization of their choosing.

What is Art as Ministry ?
Art as Ministy is an ongoing portrait project focused on individuals experiencing hardships: battling addiction, financial insecurity, homelessness, or food insecurity. Each portrait begins with a real conversation and becomes a unique, original work of art created with the same care as traditional fine portraiture. The portraits are made available for collecting and 50% of the sales revenue goes back to the subject of the portrait. No third parties, no businesses, just me, the people I meet, and Jesus.
How does it work?
Each portrait is:
Hand-drawn
Created on archival 100% cotton watercolor paper
Crafted using archival mediums
Framed and ready to hang
50 % of each sale goes directly back to the individual in the portrait
This series is grounded in a simple belief:
Every person carries a sacred worth.
Every face deserves to be seen.
Art can restore what the world forgets and damages.
This is not charity at a distance. It is a direct collaboration, recognition, and act of faith. This is how I am meant to use my God-given gift of art and I am working directly with my brothers and sisters on this Earth, and God.
