About Me

Hmmm, ok... If I could say a few things about me it would be this: Love God and strive to live a life of purpose. Am and always will be a musician and artist. My main love(s) are photography, sketching (pencil and charchol), watercolor, fine pen work, and a mix of watercolor and pen layered on one another. Sorry I don't have any recent things in my pics now. I love traveling and have been to over 20 countries, my goal is 76, but obviously dream of going to all of them. Favorites would be Egypt, Italy and Madagascar. I'm a huge history buff, and am passionate about human rights/issues of genocide. Love to live life, love change, and just want to live an adventure.I believe most all of us fall short of our true potential, we are afriad of making mistakes, afriad of judgment, and most of all... afraid of life. I want to see/champion people to be all they can be and love life in light of that. Pick yourself up, dust off, get back on that horse and ride till toward that ray of light.

For Shame

Check out a new piece of artwork and a poem I write along with it. It’s a very rough sketch and I’m hoping to do detailed one in the near future. xxx Jo For Shame ...

Open Roads Before Me Lie

Open roads before me lie, A distant future now draws nigh, What to choose and where to go, Truly hard for the mind to know, Adventures beckon my heart to fly, Desires whisper in passing by, Like a mel...

a child
