Dan

Home today working on this next portrait with my family’s bird Solomon, an alexandrine parrot. He kept me company while I sketched. ( you’ll see him in the video )

Today I was drawing Dan, a very kind gentle spoken man, who is also an artist!

I’ll let Dan introduce himself and share what New Hope has done for him from his artist statement. Dan will be exhibiting three paintings in the New Hope Care Art Auction in May!

“Hello, when I draw I escape from my worries, I don’t think about anything but the drawing I’m working on. I have been attending New Hope Church for a little over a year now. Attending New Hope Church keeps me from relapsing and going back to jail. New Hope is a great community that has made me feel like part of a family.”

Meet Dan!
