The Master Artisan Philosophy

A master artisan does not force material into shape.
She listens first.

Every medium has its nature:
Wood has grain.
Clay has moisture.
Metal has limits.
People have nervous systems, stories, and dignity.

My work—whether through writing, expressive art, dementia companionship, autism support, or spiritual formation—begins with this conviction: pressure does not produce wholeness; presence does.

I work with what is fragile, unfinished, or easily overwhelmed. I pay attention to pace, resistance, and readiness. I honor autonomy, not because growth is optional, but because growth that is coerced rarely lasts.

A master artisan understands that formation is not linear. Healing is not rushed. Wisdom is shaped over time, through patience, skill, and love.

I believe creativity is not merely expression—it is a way of relating to the world with care. When treated with reverence, creativity becomes a vessel for restoration, clarity, and meaning.

My calling is to create containers—relational, visual, spiritual—where people can remain fully themselves while becoming more whole.

That is the work of a master artisan who follows the Master Artisan (God).
And it is work I am committed to doing with integrity.

🔍 Waiting doesn’t just test our patience—it reveals our patterns.

In this reel, I share what waiting uncovered in me…
My need to control.
My fear of being disappointed.
My longing to “know” instead of trust.

🕊️ Waiting has a way of gently exposing what we’ve hidden—even from ourselves.
Not to shame us, but to heal us.

🎨 Through this process, I’ve found that letting go is not giving up—it’s giving over.
To God.
To peace.
To the deeper work happening beneath the surface.

💭 What has your waiting season revealed in you?

👇 Comment with a ✋ if you’ve ever realized you were holding on too tightly—and God invited you to release.

🕊️ WAITING (Part 7): The War is Won
🎶 A song. A vision. A long wait. A spiritual battle won.

Twelve years ago, I saw a mighty angel in worship—sword raised, waiting for the right moment. I was told to watch and wait.

In this newest post of my Waiting series, I reflect on the journey of writing "The War is Won"—a spiritual orchestral anthem born from heavenly vision, personal transformation, and years of waiting on God’s perfect timing.

This is more than a song.
It’s the fruit of tears, growth, training, and trust.
It’s a testimony of how God uses waiting to shape us from the inside out.

What began as a vision in a chapel corner grew into a 12-year journey of obedience, creativity, and spiritual warfare. In 2013, while singing with the Vanguard Choir, I had a vision of an angel with a massive sword, waiting to go to war as we lifted our voices.

🌧️ Love isn’t always calm skies and sunlight. Sometimes, it’s weathering storms together—and still choosing to stay.

In this reel, I open up about the emotional weight of navigating love and relationship challenges.
It’s not always easy.
Sometimes we face misunderstandings, triggers, and memories that rise up like waves.

🕊️ But there’s a deeper work unfolding underneath it all.
God is not absent in the tension—He’s present, refining, revealing, and restoring.

🎨 As co-creators of Palette and Partnership, Brian and I have learned that even our artistic flow reflects our relationship: beautiful, messy, layered with meaning.

💭 If you're in a relationship where love is real but the challenges are too—this is for you.

👇 Share this with someone who needs encouragement to keep walking through the storm with grace.

🖌️ What happens when we finally let go—and let creativity lead?

This reel is a gentle reflection on the freedom that comes when we stop forcing outcomes and start flowing with what the Spirit is doing through us.

So often we cling tightly to control—especially when things feel uncertain or messy.
But control isn’t peace.
And striving isn’t trust.

🎨 In this moment, I share what it means to surrender not just in life—but in creativity.
To let go of perfection and let beauty rise from the process.

🕊️ God isn’t waiting for a flawless performance.
He’s waiting for your heart to say, “Here I am.”

💭 Are you willing to embrace the mystery of flow?
