The Art of Giving

Creativity with a purpose.

I’ve always believed art can do more than brighten a room. It can bring people together, spark conversations, and make a difference.

Giving back is an important part of my creative practice. Through original artwork donations, charitable exhibitions, and contributions from art sales, I’ve had the opportunity to support organizations doing meaningful work both here in Richmond and around the world.

Every painting has a story. These are some of the stories that go beyond the canvas.

Students International

Supporting Dreams Beyond Borders

Students International is a charity that holds a special place in my heart. Collaborating closely with my mother’s church, this organization orchestrates mission trips to Santiago, Dominican Republic—where my roots lie. They provide invaluable services through education, health care, social work, and sports, all guided by permanent missionaries who understand the community's needs intimately.

I am personally acquainted with the program coordinators and can vouch for their dedication and the tangible impacts of their efforts. This collaboration is more than just charity; it is a bridge connecting my artistic endeavors with my heritage and the aspirations of the youth in Santiago.
