After 44 years of ministry, the Lord has given the vision to go ahead with this exciting new adventure called 'Art For All Nations'!
As a wife, mother, grandmother, minister missionary and speaker, I'd like most to be known as a woman who loves the Lord with all of her heart, mind and soul. I believe the expression of art can reach across cultural & international boundaries to communicate the heart and soul of artists.
My heart is to see this opportunity for many in the days ahead, to see artists all over the world pursue their passions and share their gifts with the world!

Administrator/AFAN
I was born in a small town in Pacific County, 20 minutes from the Pacific Ocean. Our family moved to Longview in 2003. I am currently the administrator for Art for all Nations. In 2011 I learned about an art school in Clackamas, Oregon. I enrolled my 2 sons and ended up being a student myself. I was inspired with a book by Artist and Author Evie Fiskin, titled "I'm not stupid I'm right brained."It was extremely helpful to me understanding the right side of the brain. I never believed I would draw or paint but soon discovered I am quite passionate about it. I love to help and encourage others to express their artistic talents. I've traveled to many nations and I look forward to taking the mission of AFAN to many more.

Artist, musician and award-winning filmmaker, passionate about pushing creativity further with every endeavor. He has mainly pursued film-making over the years, but when he's not yelling out action to unsuspecting actors, he's holed up either with his sketchbook or at his computer, plinking out musical compositions or designing characters for who knows what. With extensive experience in computers and technological doodads, and with many years of artistic projects under his belt, he has the skills and know-how to take an idea and put it into action.

Hanna has been either training, performing, or teaching classical ballet in both secular and Christian venues since she was three. Daughter of missionaries, she spent 15 years in Thailand and had the unusual opportunity of receiving training—including taking her examinations—both through the Thai Royal Academy of Dance program and with the Bolshoi Ballet of Uzbekistan. She considers dance a gift from God and loves to both minister and train others up to use that gift. She has traveled to over a dozen countries to minister through dance including China, Japan, Austria, and Hungary. She began teaching in 2001 and has taught in various capacities and places since that time. A Washington native, she came back “home” in 2017. When she’s not dancing, she is a freelance editor, homeschooling mum of three, and children’s church pastor.

I now have a Masters in Accounting, a Masters’ in Business Administration and am a Certified Fraud Examiner. I teach at Lower Columbia College and work with non-profit organizations performing financial record keep responsibilities as well as completing the appropriate tax returns, running payroll, monitoring and maintaining internal controls.

Hi! I’m Christina and I am so excited to be part the AFAN team. I have had a great love and passion for the arts since I was very young. Watercolor is my favorite art medium, but I also enjoy pencil drawing, acrylic painting, and pen and ink. My main goal as a teacher to make my students feel loved. Other goals include encouragement in their development, sharpening their skills within the medium of the class, and making art an enjoyable pastime rather than something to fret and stress over. Aside from art, I also enjoy spending quality time with my cats and drinking copious amounts of coffee.
Alicia is our Hip Hop dance instructor for both AFAN campuses and our overseas teams.
