My name is Josiah Atkins. I was born in Nairobi, Kenya and grew up in Ontario, Canada. I have been in seven different countries world wide in Latin America and Africa. My art is very influenced by my travels and me view of our connectedness to the world around us. I aim for every piece to portray the transcendent beauty in simple things. The theme of pilgrimage or journey is in every final product. I have been a freelance artist for about three years and am experienced in pen and ink (stippling) and acrylic. I have art displayed at Mount Royal University, Rocky Mountain College, the House Coffee Sanctuary, and Higher Ground Cafe. I have also done large scale set designs for musicians.

Words are some times confusing but given the right writer they can become a thing of beauty, painting a picture so full of life you can not help but to get lost array of letters. Read on they inspire. Word play is a thing of art. Few can grasp, configure, and mold to the masses liking. Skill to capture ones mind and thoughts is all but a sentence away, for creativity is the key to every readers dream.

I'm a relatively good writer/editor looking for some freelance work. I have some experience taking requests, and my clients were all satisfied with the final product. I've been writing and editing for close to six years now. I'm new to freelance work, so my rates will be flexible. In my writing I am flexible as well, but my skill set is mostly limited to creative writing, poetry writing, and a bit of screenwriting.
