In 2002, I had a vision one night that I went to hell.  I called out for Jesus to save me and he came to me and took me out of Hell, that I was in.  Two months later I had another vision:  A woman that was dressed like a nun, came to see me in this vision.  She referred to the earlier vision when I called her son’s name.  She told me I was supposed to have died in the vision.  Instead, Jesus delivered me from it.  She then asked me how my drawing skills were.  I said, “What drawing skills?”  She just chuckled, and said, “Help The Children!”  She turned and left. I woke up at 3:00am drenched in sweat. That's why I kept the collection so long. The collection is a very emotional part of my life.  

That’s the day I started to draw.  It was very frustrating, at first, teaching myself to draw, however, eventually I got the hang of it.  I have roughly a thousand pieces of art in my collection.  I have every piece of art that I ever drew.  You can see the progression over the years.

The decision to sell my collection was one I thought very hard about. I am now ready to sell my collection to those who love art. I no longer need the art for myself. It is time to put my art into the world.

I hope that everyone that purchases the art will love it as I have over the years. 80% of the art is 19 x 11 inches in size and is drawn on high quality cotton paper with high quality colored pencils and oil pastel.
