Probably the first time we met and if we haven't it's OK, we will and I will give you a big hug. I’m a student attending Charleston Southern University. Grew up with just my mom and grandma; they're amazing. Learned a lot from THEM growing up; learned that I can’t please everybody and to just be myself. I have a passion for my work, and I’m talking about the passion you get when you want to quit and give up because you're tired, I understand. I wanted to create something with a purpose and that means something to me, something that people would believe in. Share my work however you feel, but I want you to see it. I know you have seen live painters and all that, but I'm telling you that kolpeace is more than just a live painting. It's a new generation of creativity; it's a peace of mind. Always remember one thing about me, when we meet you get the actual me and not a show; I’m not perfect but my heart is bigger than my smile and I know that I will be able to give back to others. #kolpeace
