My cousin Cory passed away unexpectedly this last June. He was a modern day stripling warrior and a young man to look up to. When my cousin asked me to draw a portrait of him as a surprise Christmas gift for her parents I was honored and so happy to be part of this very special project. My Aunt called me Christmas day and told me how the family all sat around that morning crying after they opened it. She said it was the best Christmas gift she has ever received. I absolutely love drawing, but what makes drawing even more special for me is the opportunity I have to touch others with my work.
