It is also the only retail brick and mortar location to find the original art of Creative Handiworks. It is located at 5944 Barnes Rd, Colorado Springs, CO 80922.
I am passionate about creating art with a purpose from repurposed materials. This is done by giving new life to leftover and discarded items by creatively using them to create an image. The theme of this artwork is to promote a healthy mind and heart from a Christian world view.
My professional experience includes 26 years of Commercial Art experience as a Graphic Designer, Lettering Artist and Illustrator. I also have extensive craftsmanship skills in woodworking and minor remodeling. I am working to be a good steward of this skill set in my own vision of artwork. Creating this art is part of my spiritual journey, an act of study and worship. It is my prayer that as I pass it along to the viewer it will minister to them as well.
Working with repurposed materials naturally reflects Biblical principles as God repurposes us for greater good. He also takes our trials and repurpose them to make us stronger, wiser and more complete. It is with this understanding that I am passionate about creating art with a purpose.
