100% Human Artwork in an Increasingly A.I.-Dependent World

As beauty-lovers, we're happy when uniquely human stories and values are enjoyed and expressed via art and design. While A.I. is a valuable tool that can assist this process, it can never replace its beautifully mysterious humanity. In fact, in an increasingly A.I.-dependent world, the human aspects of this process and its outcomes become more and more precious.

In that light, I want to reassure you that all my artwork - from concept through execution  - is 100% human. I always conceive all my creative ideas within my own heart and mind, or by collaborating with other human hearts and minds (like yours  - yay!). My YouTube channel and website blogs showcase these stories and the ways I physically (i.e., by human hand) express them. 

To further celebrate our humanness  - especially our unique, God-given, human capacity to enjoy and express Him and the natural beauty He's created all around us  -  below are some photos of a real, live human (me!) taken during my recent trip to Summit County, Colorado. No doubt, many of my human experiences on that trip will find their way through my human heart and hands into future artworks. 🙂
