~ Welcome to my blog! Let me introduce myself. I am an artist, art teacher, wife, mom to 4, mother-in-law to 2, and grandma to 6! But more than any of those titles, my identity is found in Christ. He is the reason I do what I do, and my desire is to glorify Him through my life.

Through my blog I plan to share:

• Stories & inspiration from my artwork
• Paintings in process
• Art techniques & helpful hints
• Projects I have done with my art students
• Stories & inspiration from my life

My artwork is available to view and purchase on my website. View my galleries here. I also occasionally show my work at art fairs and in local art galleries. View my About page and Show Schedule.

I specialize in painting custom artwork, including portraits and home portraits. Feel free to contact me if you would like information on an original commissioned piece of artwork! View Commissions Page. For pricing and more information visit my Purchasing Page.

I believe strongly that God is the original and ultimate Creator, and He made us in His image to be creative! It is exciting for each individual to discover their own unique gifting and purpose and passion towards creativity!

I would love to hear from you with questions or comments!
