I am so glad you are here!
Welcome to my site! I am so excited to introduce you to my custom art pieces and share a bit of life with you through my blog. I am determined to become the woman God wants me to be and I believe that path includes glorifying Him in all that I do. This blog is a testament to my everyday journey through faith, family, friendship, service and creativity.
Tale of the Two Headed Serpent
This “two-headed” serpent whispering deception into Eve’s heart was not originally part of my vision.It was by complete chance that this little blob of wet paint slid its way from another layout onto this one!I cut Eve’s silhouette out, thinking I’d paint over the blob. As I glued her down, I couldn’t believe what I…
Sweet Eve, in the Garden
Oh, how I wish we could know more about her!I think she meant well. I think she was probably a people-pleaser…. Wanting to please both Adam and God. She wanted to do what was right, but also didn’t want to offend. She trusted the snake…because she didn’t know NOT to trust. She knew God had…
Restoration
Shhhh…..I’m with the trees now. This is peace. With every step I took, I breathed deeper. I think I smiled the whole walk! The sound of the snow crunching beneath my boots, the swish-swish of my snow pants, a few birds chirping. It was mostly still. Except for me. I needed to feel small, small…
Legacy
STORY is my word of the year…and Ohmygoodness it’s taken me down some spiritual and self-awakening paths that I never would have imagined. “Story” has led me to think about my legacy. (Who would have thought in my early 40’s that I’m thinking about what I’ll leave behind? Surely not me!) But. This is going…
Note to Self.
Note to self. And you, as well! Just be YOU, sweet daughter of God. Keeping up, fitting in. All of those boxes we check for the world before we can settle in with ourselves. It’s why we feel anxious, spread thin, overwhelmed. What if we settled in with ourselves first? Our True Self– the one…
The Gray Zone
The Gray Zone. Joy without wonder, seeking without curiosity, feelings just on the surface. Experiences with culture, music, friendships, travels…few and far between. The pandemic has made us small, lesser versions of ourselves. Our focus has been on survival…physically and emotionally. Managing disappointment, striving for flexibility, coming to terms with acceptance. Gray zone. If I’m…
Not Quite There. Yet.
Almost there.But.Better luck next time. “You’re not quite there yet.” I hear it in my mind a lot. It’s the answer I feel in my heart from God when I ask certain “why?!” questions. It doesn’t feel like I’m in trouble or that I’ve done something wrong or strayed. I’m just not there yet. I’ve…

AE {art} Halloween Art Block Kit
When I first began art kits, the biggest request was for kits for kids. I knew I wanted my first kids kit to be special. To be enjoyable and creative while being something that parents would be happy to display AND something that would be really fun to pull out year after year. Secondly, I…
Freebie for your Lock-Screen!
I recently set this photo as my lock-screen and it makes me so happy every time I tap my phone to check the time (okay, every time I check my notifications!) So, I thought, how about I spread some of this cheer and share this photo with you, as well?! here’s how you do it:…
