This is my newest artwork, called "Hold Onto Hope." It definitely represents where I am in life right now.

I feel trapped, caged. But I know I'm here for a reason and that I can't give up. A few months ago I actually had a dream about it. The bird represents hope, and in the dream God told me to nourish it, to keep feeding the bird so it would stay alive.

So no matter what life is like or what kind of chaos surrounds me, I'm holding onto my hope that God has a plan and things will change for the better.

I think a lot of people can relate to this ... great piece! Love the way you combine photography and painting.
I love your honesty and how beautifully you express your conflicts. I have a very difficult time being so open, so I really admire it in others.
I have been deep in depression and hopelessness in my life, and I understand how it feels; like you have no way out. But God does have something special for you. He will bring you into a brighter place. I am sure of this. God bless you,
