My first art event was so much fun! I’m so grateful for everyone who showed up to support me, for the staff at Carmen’s, and for the City of Lebanon for supporting local artists!

I still have lots of prints and originals available, so if you’re interested in something, shoot me a private message! ☺️

Original painting pair for sale! These are small 8x8 circle canvases - $50 each or $85 for both.

I’m titling the sunrise one “The Heavens Declare” and the nighttime one “The Skies Proclaim” as a nod to Psalm 19.

“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them. Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun. It is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, like a champion rejoicing to run his course. It rises at one end of the heavens and makes its circuit to the other; nothing is deprived of its warmth.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭19‬:‭1‬-‭6‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Hi! I’m McKenna. I’m a music teacher and single mama who finds so much joy painting peaceful landscapes inspired by God’s creation. Every painting is an original oil painting made by hand. Thank you for being here and supporting this little dream of mine. ❤️
