Our story all started with a quick sketch of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Nauvoo Temple. My family loved it so much, it was printed many times, and given to local friends and family. After many years of my family telling me that I should draw more temples, and putting it off, I got really sick and lost my job. 

So, I started my own business helping companies with their Graphical needs. I worked with many large businesses on existing projects and helped complete them until no new work was in coming. My wife,  Cindy said, “Let’s go to the temple.” As we went to the Nauvoo Temple, I sat and prayed what I should do. The answer that I received was to draw more temples and share peoples stories of love, hope, peace, and gratitude. That is what I did. We were so blessed with so much extra work that I couldn’t keep up with work, family, and temples. So, the temple project fell to the wayside. 

Work progressed, but hand pain and cramps became so bad I couldn’t hold a pencil and draw. I always felt something was missing and I knew that it was creating pictures of the temples and the stories we received and shared.
