Exodus Exhibition Fall 2018
The fall of 2018 I was invited to create artwork alongside the sermon series on the Book of Exodus at the Lutheran Church of Hope’s art gallery. I had been out of rehab for a year and half when the exhibit was installed. I relapsed 8 months after rehab and I would drink off and on all the way up til this Exodus exhibit was installed October 2018. This was my second solo exhibit in my art journey. The first art show I had was before rehab back when I was deep in my alcoholism 6 years after my brother died in 2012 at the Ritual Cafe downtown Des moines. A lot happened between these three art exhibits that lead me to where I am today. I thank God daily for this new life full of love, hope, joy, peace and passion. I’ve worked through my struggles the last 3 years by praying, painting and building my relationship with God.
It has not been an easy road and my life is far from perfect but by the grace of God October 8, 2021 I will not have had a drink or cigarettes in 3 years🙏🏼🙌🏼🎉❤️💪🏼THANK YOU GOD!!!! And thank you to everyone who has walked beside me. I love you and I praise God for this life we get to live together!
I also had a few paintings from the past and I created a new one that represents my struggles and my recovery.
