Empower Artworks is a husband-and-wife collaborative effort. We have lived close to the earth in Southern Oregon for over 35 years. We are blessed to steward a mixture of farm and forest land, and we cultivate a large garden and orchard. We raise pasture pigs for meat and lard, and we routinely make the two-and-a-half-hour trek to the ocean to harvest scallops, crab, fish and to enjoy the salt, sand, and crashing waves. Every home we have lived in we built with our own two hands, and our sole heat source is wood, which we gather from our property. We raised our sweet children, that now have children of their own, with a deep love for themselves, others, and the earth.
