The Story of Big Heart

In 1993, a boy met a girl. The boy and girl fell in love, got married, and had babies. Lots of babies, five sons. Boy loved the outdoors, deer, hunting, baseball, and hot peppers; but he loved his girl and his babies the most. He had a big heart and lots of friends, who all thought he was the best. Boy and girl loved Jesus, and boy lived his life giving. He gave his time, he gave his things, he gave love. On August 14, 2014, he was giving his girl her studio, but his heart was just too big to beat anymore, so it stopped. Girl missed boy so much that her own heart hurt. 

For 22 years, her creative spirit had warmed her boy like a flame, and with it he had warmed the world with his very big heart. Drawing, making, and imagining helped the girl's heart begin to heal, so she decided to name her studio Big Heart, since, after all, it was the last gift the boy's big heart gave his girl.

As her heart healed the Lord gave her glimpses of a future she never imagined. One day after visiting Albania she saw all the little glimpses together as one picture. The picture was of an art studio in Albania where she could help others heal by sharing the creative ways the Lord had given her. In 2024 Big Heart Studios - Albania became real studio and not just a dream. Girl wants everyone to feel as loved as she has felt by Jesus and the boy with the big heart.
