Why Artisan de la Paix?

Artisan de la Paix means Peacemaker in French. Literally, a craftsperson of peace. A builder. After living in the Democratic Republic of Congo and visiting many places of war, I began to see the role of peacemaker as both beautiful and urgent. And so I have dedicated my life to the process and art of becoming a builder of peace, through words, images and love. And trust me, I am very new at this and recognize with humility those who have gone before.

Who took the photography?

I did. All the images you see are from my hands and their sources span from around the world.

What is the purpose of Artisan de la Paix?

This space is intended to foster thought, heart movement and to be a forum for truth and beauty. I hope you find depth here.
