About Mandy
My name is Mandy Steward. I am an artist. I think you are one too. We are all painting on our own Messy Canvas. I invite you to be purposeful and passionate about what you are painting on yours.
I am married to Tony and we have four kids.
I am extremely passionate about a lot of things.
* I believe that life is good and we are to live it to the fullest. * I believe in restoring beauty. * I believe in touching lives and fighting for free hearts. * I believe I’m created for a purpose. * I believe I’m constantly learning. * I believe life is messy. * I believe I’m doing the best I can.
What feeds my soul? Words. Splashes of color. Story. Music. Nature. The beach. Creating. Ever unfolding mystery. Imperfection bathed in hope. Asking others what feeds their soul.
