Some of you may know that I spent 18 months
of my life living in Arizona as a missionary,
Sharing a message that brought me complete
I returned home to Ogden, my home town,
and enrolled back in school and was accepted
I fell in love with art again and again.
my emphasis is printmaking.
I was able to visit Arizona almost every ten weeks for
the past 3.5 years.
Whether it was
a long distance relationship,
a wedding of a convert,
visiting people I taught.
flying there & road tripping to
Rocky Point, Mexico.
a spring break
a vacation to H&M
or a simple family photo shoot.
I loved loved loved loved
every visit and imagined
ways and reasons for me to live
in arizona again.
As I have studied and researched possible programs
to pursue a Masters two schools
It seems as I prepared to head to the east coast,
I remained open for anything.
I love art, because everything else I love can be rolled
into art. But I also feel that art can be rolled into
everything else I love.
So with graduation coming in April, the doors kind of open.
The phone rang on a monday, the first week in
January, with an invitation to come to arizona,
for an experience of a lifetime, and it
just made sense to pursue it.
But i thought about it for a week or so, I weighed out
some pros and cons…
It just seems to be the right thing for me to do
right now in my life.
I don’t know exactly everything… but I know enough to trust the unknown.
The photo above is the backyard to where I will be living for a couple years.
Can I come visit?
