 Being a part of Artists for Life is a tremendous source of encouragement to me, and reminds me that I am not alone, that I am working in collaboration and synchronization with so many talented artists near and far in reminding people of the dignity and worth of all human life through our heart’s work.  May God continue to guide our growth, and bless the fruits of our efforts to help others, that we might raise many hearts towards Heaven through song, image, word and action.”
