-------- Meet the Artist --------
God is the ultimate Artist, Creator, and Maker, yet he chooses to use people such as Sharon to spread His Word. Sharon has enjoyed art since her youth and took art classes in high school. She made her first CBV design in 2001, after deciding to see what it would look like if
she wrote her favorite Bible verses in a circle with colorful gel pens
(see artwork design #1). From this design emerged all of the rest
(listed on this website in the order that they were made), some with
the creative input of friends and family. Sharon and her husband currently live in Florida with their fish, cat, dog, and service puppy that Sharon's raising for Canine Companions for Independence. Although a photograph of the real artist, God, cannot be posted, here are some pictures of his CBV servant, Sharon. Enjoy!

My husband, Jack, and I
This is Fuse, a pup we raised for
Canine Companions for Independence.
He's currently in professional training to help someone with a disability.
The 4 photos above show 8-week-old Lab "Seemore", whom we raised for Leader Dogs for the Blind. He was born on Easter, 3-31-13. Although it is hard to part with service pups we raise, we know that all of our time and effort is worth the reward of helping someone.
Below are photos of our pets: Smokey, Keesa, and Kinks

In memory of our beloved companions,
Bambino (1995-2010) and Brenna (1996-2010).
We will never forget you!
