Amanda Newman is a wife and mother of two children who are her biggest supporters and motivators. From an early age, she was an eager student of all the arts. She has been blessed to be surrounded by women with a variety of hand stitching skills, passed down to them through generations. She’s very excited to share these and other techniques she has learned with the next generation of eager students. As Amanda has grown up, those little early investments have grown into a life calling to mission work in Rwanda Africa where she gets to teach the women there skills to create products that she brings home to sell for them. It has grown into a business called COPO that sells their products all over the United States. Amanda sees the Lord answer in her own life over and over her prayer from Psalm 90:17 “May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us; establish the work of our hands for us– yes, establish the work of our hands.” She cannot wait to see what the Lord does with the work of those little hands she is trusted with.

My name is Jaclayvious Emmanual and I like to pretend I'm a painter. I enjoy many things art related, but my main focus is painting. Figuring out how to take my thoughts, beliefs, and passion to manipulate figures with paint. There's no real science behind it. I like my paintings to have a simplistic look but to also have meaning to the viewer. I want my paintings to help others find 
an answer in their thought processes and meaning to their life.
