About Tricia

I guess you could say I did always notice I was a bit quirky. But I didn’t think about it. So instead, I just made things up. Created things. It wasn’t very hard to do. I really believe all humans are creative by nature. They just don’t let themselves try. Nobody told me not to…so I just did.

I also really love to help people. Mostly the people other people don’t want to try to help because it is difficult. And frustrating. And helping other people is almost always a thankless, unnoticed job. But I think that’s why I like it. I love to be unnoticed. That way I can do all kinds of crazy things–and I never have to explain why. To anyone except God. And He doesn’t seem to mind at all; after all, He made me this way.

So I traveled around the world. I learned a lot about all kinds of people. My husband and I worked for World Vision and helped people all over the world, hurt and starving people. I decided to go back to college. I wanted to learn to paint. So I went to Art College in Pasadena. When I finished, I was 35 years old and I was a watercolor artist. Very soon after that, my husband Steve and I adopted twins with disabilities. As I helped my own children learn and succeed, everything else seemed to come together…

My creativity, my love of helping hurting people, my belief in art as a healing agent and my faith in a God who is filled with love for us all.
