David’s art hangs proudly on my vestry wall as an affirmation of my role as a woman in ministry. Grateful to him for his encouragement!

NakedPastor has made me laugh, cry, and reevaluate many long-held beliefs. I am the richer for his thought-provoking work!

“Your art speaks my heart, every time......its been so great to have my thoughts and feelings validated, to know others are going through the same things you are, just helps you know you're not crazy or lost, so, I GREATLY APPRECIATE YOU, AND YOUR ART.
