ART FOR SALE + Exciting News!

This painting is the one that started it all. It wasn’t the first in my Flowing Through series, but it was in this piece that I found my concept.

As the shapes and colors started to form on the canvas, God brought to my memory a vision he’d given me over 20 years ago. That vision was of rocks and boulders stretched out as far as I could see down a creek. God used those rocks to symbolize the people he would reach through me, for his glory.

That vision daunted me for years. What’s the plan, God? What step do I take next?

My entire artistic journey and career in art therapy have become a practice of following God’s lead, one step at a time, continuing to discover how he intends to work through me.

✨🎨✨This week, I believe that God has given me a vision for the next phase of my artistic career. I’ll share more details about that later, but right now, my exciting news is this:

✨I’ve set a goal to participate in an amazing 12-month art business training program starting in July/August 2026. This program will provide all the support, coaching, and skills I need to enter this next phase of my art career…the one I know God is calling me to (again, I’ll share more details about that later).

In order to fund my participation in this training program, I will need to sell the remaining work from my Flowing Through series.

✨We’ve got 5 months! Will you join me?

🎨You can help me by:

✨Sharing my artwork images/info with the art lovers in your life.

✨Purchasing a painting for yourself or a loved one

✨Comment or send me a private message to talk more and set up a private showing at my studio.

ART FOR SALE ✨🎨✨Joy is an act of resistance. We saw this in the Super Bowl halftime show. We see it in art of all kinds.

It’s rebellious and often counter cultural and counter political to find the JOY. To give ourselves permission to FEEL the joy. To celebrate things WORTH celebrating.

That’s exactly what I was exploring when I created these two pieces:

“Joy is bright - I surrender to the glow” (1 & 2)

Surrender doesn’t come easily to me, and neither does joy. One of the first layers of these paintings simply consisted of me taking a large sharpie marker and writing - joy is bright, I surrender to the glow.

Over and over.

Then I used ✨sunshine✨ colors to paint whatever wanted to come out next, while I practiced holding JOY in front of me.

Do you need a reminder to surrender to joy? Permission to bask in its glow?

These mixed media paintings are a safe emotional container that allows you to do just that.

Comment or message me to stop by my studio for a private showing. I have several pieces for sale.

The joy paintings are each 18”x24” and priced at $620 each, or buy the pair for $1000.

SOLD. 🎨
“You create things that don’t exist!”

That’s what the collector who purchased this painting told me.

They expressed fascination with painting after painting in my studio, noting that they understand what it’s like to draw representational images, but couldn’t imagine creating entirely new worlds within each abstract piece.

“I feel safe — there’s beauty here” is the title.

I’m not only creating new combinations of shape and color on the canvases. I’m molding a space to contain the intangible— safety. beauty. peace. curiosity. grit. perseverance. struggle. suffering. love.

For myself, and for the viewer.

If you’re looking for a safe emotional container that doesn’t yet exist, I might have created it for you already.

Comment or message me to stop by my studio for a private showing. I have several more for sale.

Art-making is restorative. Soothing to the nervous system. Today all I did was make some purple lines, and that was enough.

From my free association, responsive writing:

💜

The purple dances away - flittering, flowing, loving, glowing.

Knowing it has a place here, in the middle of things.

In the safe middle-confines all it’s own.

It decided to be here. Then, now, and now again. Over there. Inside and outside and in between.

And glowing and knowing.

My purple.

My sovereign palace in the fray.

My peace and safe space.

Depth and beauty come from imperfection.

People often comment on the visible layers in my paintings, and they question how I do it.

And the answer is literally this:

I’m not afraid to cover up one layer (or parts of a layer) and completely change how the painting looks.

Once a piece of art starts to feel too precious and finished and like “oh I don’t want to touch it because it looks good and I might mess it up”…. That is when you should keep going. All the insight and beauty lies on the other side of “precious”.

And the truth that any artist in any genre will tell you is that even when you can’t see the underneath layers or the rough draft of the poem or the first cell phone recording of the song, the layers are still there.

It’s the creative process. It’s a recognition that depth and beauty aren’t created in one brush stroke of genius. They are created over time. With intention. With risk. With ugly parts. With imperfection.

Over twenty years ago, I had an experience where God used the image of rocks and boulders scattered through a stream to show me something about how I am to impact people in this world.

The rocks stretched as far as I could see to the horizon line, and beyond. As I looked at them, God gave me a knowing in my spirit. He said, “You see how many rocks there are here? This represents how many people you will see when you get to heaven, that have been impacted by you and the way you’ve shared my love with them.”

While I have gone on to serve others in a variety of ways through my career as an art therapist, I continue to feel God expanding my vision and capacity to dream big for my life and the lives of those I come in contact with.

I use the creative process to identify and express my emotions in prayer, and in Flowing Through, you see visual evidence of this continued exploration, as I seek to bridge the gap between my internal and outer worlds.

The vaguely rock-like shapes floating on the surface of these paintings represent the people I come in contact with throughout life, and the sometimes beautiful, painful, or awkward dance of interaction between us.

God has given me a vision for serving others, but sometimes I wonder, “How?”. The practical steps I am called to take feel intangible at times; difficult to grasp.

Each piece was created using a variety of materials, including acrylic paint, oil pastels, graphite, and permanent marker. The majority of the canvases were bought second-hand and repurposed. I have a strong belief that art should be accessible to everyone, and I have exemplified this through my use of simple materials to create fine art.
