Swirls_and_the_Spirit

I am inspired by worship music, Scripture, and Biblical teachings, often incorporating swirl and wave motifs. After sketching what I see in my mind, I will later search in the Bible and talk to God about the painting, allowing colors and details to take shape. I paint to music, either listening to the worship song that sparked the image, or a song I find that compliments the image God gave me during a sermon or my Bible study. What I experience while painting is a special time of closeness with God, and that closeness is poured into every piece of art I create. Art created with the Holy Spirit can change atmospheres. My paintings stand as a visual reminder of the spiritual realm surrounding us. It’s easy to get caught up in daily life and forget the bigger picture — the eternal perspective that God is always working, even when we can’t see it. Having an eternal perspective means recognizing that our lives are part of a greater story — one that stretches beyond our current circumstances into God’s eternal kingdom. This perspective reminds us to lift our eyes above the temporary and trust that God’s presence, promises, and purposes are always at work. I find joy in the hope that my paintings will remind you of the sovereignty and majesty of Christ, God’s unseen forces working on our behalf, and the comfort and power of the Holy Spirit. I love using glitter, metallic, and iridescent paints to capture a sense of the ethereal and reflect the Mystery of God. When a painting catches sunlight or flickers in candlelight, it's a reminder that there's more happening than meets the eye — and that we were created to shine and reflect God's light, no matter our circumstances. May my art bring you closer to Him, reminding you of His constant presence, His promises, and His overwhelming endless love for you.
