Artist of the Month


Let’s get to know one of our awesome kid artists!!!



Each month at Connor’s Creative Art Center, I will be highlighting one of our amazing and talented artists.  Now that the Art Center is finished, we have an awesome gallery to display all the beautiful artwork the children create.  When the children entered the Art Center for the first time to see the huge transformation, the art gallery wall was one of their favorites!

Artist of the Month
Humphrey Parker


Getting to know the artist:

Favorite Color:  Red

Favorite Medium:  Sculpture

Favorite Subject Matter:  Animals

What art means to me:  “Art is when we put our emotions and thoughts on a 
                                          paper.  Art helps us forget all our sorrows and bad
                                          thoughts.”

Humphrey is 13 years old and in class 6.  When he grows up he would like to be an architect.  He said, “I want to be an architect in future.  I want to design and draw buildings for people to build.  I will be very happy when I achieve my goals one day.  And by the grace of God I know I will achieve in Jesus name. Amen.”

Connor’s Creative Art Center is a safe and creative environment where kids like Humphrey have the opportunity to express their thoughts and feelings through art.  Art helps the children find their voice through a creative outlet and provides them with the opportunity to respond creatively and heal from the trauma they endured as child slaves.
