The Birdhouse 

I feel the scrape of cold tunnel walls,

As darkness presses in.

But for as long as the canary sings,

Hope remains.

“If I’m wrong, I’m highly capable of correcting that. I’ve done that many times and I’ve had to. That’s why I love debate and conversation, because you learn from it. Don’t become entrenched in one opinion and get stuck there forever.”

Upcoming Publication: Book of Mormon ARTbook

  

 

When asked about my favorite book, I can honestly say it’s The Book of Mormon. It has provided me unparalleled guidance and understanding throughout my life. Because of that, I am grateful to be able to contribute two illustrations to the Book of Mormon ARTbook, an art companion to the 2024 Book of Mormon Come Follow Me curriculum.
