This project is why I am where I am. I want to tell you about Tuppy. He was a friend of mine who always believed in me and gave me so much confidence and told me I could do anything I put my mind to. He allowed me to work on two of his vehicles. painting imagery on both of them. Well, one day he showed up with this box..it was an urn. I found out he had cancer. He was wanting me to paint his urn for him that had wolves, which he loved, and a cabin scene. I won't lie and say it was easy. I cried painting this box. It was too emotional for me, I didn't want to believe it was true... A week later, he passed away, almost as if he was waiting for me get it done, just so he could see it.
Going back to why I am here. Without Tup, I don't know where I would be. Only a handful of special people come into our lives. He was definitely one of them. I miss you Tuppy.


I dedicate this portfolio to you Tuppy. I hope to always make you proud. Rest easy.
