Shattering the Glass Ceiling
From searching for his identity to putting everything out there for the world to see, Levi Nelson is now showcasing his culture and strong beliefs through contemporary aboriginal artwork. While he was always creative, it wasn't until he was truly proud of who he was that he realized his true calling was painting. It's not often an art student who gets to host their very own exhibit, but this emerging artist broke the barrier and he has something to say.

Sam's Tags
Tammy Bush's son, Sam, died by suicide at the age of 21. With a heavy heart, Tammy decided to do something important to help Sam's friends, who may also be struggling. Key chains with inspirational messages on them, such as, 'you are loved' and 'you matter' hang on Sam's Tree at the cemetery where he rests. In hopes that the recipient of a key chain can look at it in their time of need and be reminded of how important they are.
