Creative Excellence in Visual Arts

I wanted to take a moment to brag on my good friend, Kenny Barela. I’ve known Kenny for close to 7 years, first as a seeker of God and a good friend, second as an amazing visual artist. Kenny and his wife Rebekah have worked side by side to make their advertising and design company, Sum Agency, a success. They have worked with numerous high-profile clients on both a local and global basis, and their work is excellent.

You know Kenny’s work from my website. He’s the designer and webmaster. If you’ve sported one of my t-shirts, you’ve worn Kenny’s work. He was recently commissioned by internationally-known Christian musician Misty Edwards to do the album art for her latest two projects. I’m very excited to say Kenny will be doing the artwork for my next album, which I start recording this month.

Kenny and Rebekah also have a side venture called Locolygrown, which humorously captures the vibe and culture of New Mexico on great-looking t-shirts and other apparel. Be sure to check it out!

Working with Kenny has been a real pleasure, not just because of the high caliber of his work, but because he values the things of God. I pray that Kenny is blessed as much as he has blessed me and others.
