The Artist

"If you were to ask me what I do…I would tell you that I stop time for people.  I truly take a moment in time and give it to you to have and to hold for generations to come.  I am a storyteller…I will tell your story…the story of the profound and deep love that you have for your family…the connection and bond that ties you together.  The story of your children’s imaginations…their best dreams come true.  I am the seeker of your joy…the seer of your beauty…I am the artist who will engrave the image of your children, your family, your everything on your heart…in your soul and on the walls of your home for a lifetime of forevers."
