Portrait Spotlight | Emery
This adorable baby girl came to me through a repeat client who wanted to do something extra special for her nephew and his wife. This young couple tackled head-on the diagnosis that their baby would live with Downs Syndrome and that they would face challenges that the family had never dealt with before. Through love and support they embraced Emery but God had a higher purpose for this little angel. At five weeks old, Emery passed due to heart complications.
This young couple have been so strong and I could never imagine going through what they have had to endure. The loss of such a young child is hard to understand but the message behind Emery and the story that has been told is nothing short of amazing.
As I sat down to begin this portrait, I wondered if I would be able to properly honor the story and memory of this special little girl. I often reflect and pray that with each piece my talents will honor Him and bring a blessing to those who see it. I can honestly say that this drawing took a life of its own. I was merely the messenger.
