Hello! I’m so glad you are here!

My name is Amber Engelhardt and my heart swells with love for Jesus and this lovely life He has provided me. My husband, Eric, and I married in 2002 and were blessed with Ella Mae in 2006 and Cohen Jax in 2009. Watching their love for Jesus grow through the years has brought me immeasurable joy. So, too, has my own walk through faith. I must admit it hasn’t always been pretty or clear.  I spent many years navigating this world without Him by my side. God blessed me with a kind heart and a creative soul, but both were starving. I felt unfulfilled; directionless. I didn’t even realize I was lost until I fell back into His open arms.

The first time I put scripture on my art, everything changed.  My sense of purpose appeared like a map before me. He called me to His word and as my heart filled, so did the images in my head. I grabbed my bible and gathered my favorite supplies: chalk paint, scrapbook paper, scissors, glue, a black Stabilo pencil and got to work.  With the Lord as my guide, I was free to create in His honor. It wasn’t long before I realized I couldn’t keep up with making and selling original pieces, so I began selling prints of my favorite designs. In addition to prints, I love making little original pieces to coordinate with the prints. Seeing the joy on the faces of my friends and customers as they pick out their next piece fills my heart. I never would have imagined that people would become collectors of my art or that they’d wait on pins and needles for the reveal of my next piece!  I am both humbled and delighted by the love my family, friends, church, and my town, Rochester, MN, has shown me through the support of my art.  As the path unfolds before me, I can very clearly see what’s next. I’m busting-at-the-seams excited to share with the world this gift God has given me, using the gift He’s given all of us: His Word.

The thought of glorifying the Lord in all that I do brings chills down my spine. I want to sing His praises through my life’s work and my art work. The map is open ended and sure enough: where He leads, I will follow.

God is within her, she will not fail. Psalm 46:5
