OUTpost Launch
Artist and best-selling author Roger Hutchison joins us for a night of Expressive Art. When words are hard, art can be healing. It’s not about creating a masterpiece but about lightening whatever load you’re carrying.
Roger Hutchison is an artist, photographer, and the #1 bestselling author and illustrator of nine books including, The Painting Table, My Favorite Color is Blue, Sometimes., Faces: A Love Story, A Sparrow’s Prayer, and The Art of Calm: Spiritual Exercises for the Anxious Soul.
Following the shootings in Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT, Roger had the privilege of painting with children who had witnessed this tragic event. The experience profoundly affected him and inspired him to use his art and writing as a way to promote healing and hope. Roger is on staff at Palmer Memorial Episcopal Church in Houston as Director of Children’s and Youth Ministries.
