Acrylic on Canvas

In 2017, Vanessa picked up a paint brush and reconnected to her passion to bring creativity to canvas. She is a mixed medium painter using various products to draw in her audience to her creativity. Her use of sand and acrylic is breath taking. After being diagnosed with an inoperable tumor, she has found painting as a mean to connect to inner visions that she is unable to express in words. Vanessa allows the canvas to speak to her and is not bound by colors or size; the bigger the canvas, the louder the vision. I enjoy the moments and I am guided by my curiosity and mother’s spirit. Vanessa is quoted to say, “I can do all things through Christ that Strengthens Me.”
