THE
POWER OF ONE

The Power of One is a series of 4 ft x 4 ft portraits honoring individuals who embody true selflessness. Through each painting, I have studied lives defined by love, sacrifice, faith, forgiveness, and peace qualities that remind us what it means to be fully human.

​

This project is meant to refocus our attention on what matters most and to reveal the impact one life can have on countless others.

​

Alongside the series, two books are in development a coffee table edition and a children’s book with all royalties from each book dedicated to humanitarian efforts focused on fighting addiction and supporting long-term healing. A central part of this mission is to help create safe, uplifting spaces for youth places that protect them from the influence of addiction while building character, purpose, and strength. Until then, I encourage you to support the organizations already doing this work every day.
