I just had the amazing opportunity to travel with a team of VineArts artists to Ecuador to paint murals in Quito. It was my first time traveling to South America and my first time traveling with the intent of doing art & missions together. We served the small inner city church of Iglesia La Vina to paint 8 murals & signs within their facility and lead an art & worship service. It was one of the most rewarding things I've ever had the priviledge of taking part in. I'm still processing the experience...and will blog more about it in detail at my blogsite: www.traveling-artist.blogspot.com . For now, let me say that I know this is not an isolated event for me...in my heart I know that I am called to travel and to paint and to serve & minister to others...this is only the beginning for me.
