Engravings in bone and wood. I see what isnt supposed to be there and remove it. The depth of loss represented in bone is now brought to life. Healing and transformative processes that bring out the depth at which a soul can be healed. Bone with a soul an absent skull a whole life now a canvas. The carvings are more than just carving each peace tells a story.
Where do you find inspiration?As a child I group up around Cowboys and Saddlemakers my Grandfather my Mom my Dad and Uncles all artists with leather. I took that to bone. Only after serving my country and needing to heal from darkness did I fully embrace what God had called me to do. My artwork saved my life and has raised over 1.5 million for veterans charities and healing programs for veterans. Healing is the inspiration, my Brothers and Sisters in Arms, God and his Son Jesus Christ. For those who have lost battles.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use it for equipment to continue my work to create my business in a way I can build up my life and pay it forward. To inspire the next generation and to offer healing opportunities to others. This work is a calling it is spiritual. This would greatly help me to deliver my work to uplift others and inspire creators thats still use their hands. This would be life changing. Thank you all for your support of my dream.
