More about us and our idea.....

Life may be a journey, but it's happening right now.  We were blessed with a beautiful boy after a life-changing visit to the Galapagos Islands.  Watching him grow and trying to gently steer him into independence, we realized that our creativities were matched for each other. The words for "I Choose" were written now 3 years ago, but when beginning the artwork for it, I realized that Chandler's talent might be more suited for our message.  "Chandler" means "He who brings Light" and he most certainly does that. His clear understanding of his choices, and that he has the ability to create his own path, is truly an inspiration. Children so often see the world in a far less cluttered way than adults choose.  We hope you will appreciate that as you look at these words through the drawing eyes of a child.    What do you choose??
