Darkness behind me.
The cross in front of me.

My newest piece “Journey to redemption”. Life begins and ends at the cross. This piece signifies the belief that true, eternal life begins when one surrenders to Christ’s sacrifice and all earthly + spiritual journeys are ultimately guided and fulfilled by Him and Him alone.

I often get asked why I like painting or creating with dead animals. I also love to collect taxidermy, or random things preserved in jars. What seems gross to others ive always found beauty in them some how.

One of the most powerful biblical images involving bones is Ezekiels vision of the dry bones (Ezekiel 37). I highly recommend you read that chapter!

God takes something lifeless and turns it into a symbol of renewal, restoration, and hope.
Using bones symbolizes how God can take what seems dead, discarded, or forgotten and turn it into something meaningful, beautiful, or redemptive.

Here are two of my most recent pieces using bones. These were ethically sources. Found, or given as gifts.

Hi, I wanted to introduce myself on here. I'm Sarah! I am a wife to an amazing husband who is the Men's pastor at our church! I am a momma to a teenage son (14) and a daughter ( 1). I am a women's ministry leader, a friend, a sister and an aunt and a daughter! But most importantly I am a daughter of the Most High King! He has given me the gift of art and creativity. Lately, I havent posted on here or even been very creative. I think it's normal for artists to get into a slump, sort of like a dead zone. Its a time to reflect or rethink their pieces or where they should go next.

The burning inside me to create has started and I'm ready to do this again. What good is a gift if it's never used or never given?? 💕

Today, I had an experience with God. I've had many in my days as a Christian. But this one was sweet. I think God uses little things and big things to remind us He is always there. I feel pretty far away from God. Some how I lost my way. Between trying to juggle life and everything really, I put God last. Today I had this overwhelming feeling I just needed to go outside. It was kinda raining. But I did it anyways. I just had to get out there and just walk. So as I was out there I turned on music. And Prodigal Song came on by Cory Asbury. And the song is beautiful of course and the words I so relate too! And I continued walking and found a bird feather. God knows how to get my attention. I burst into tears. He reminded me no matter how far I run he will always come after me. And this verse popped into my head!

Isaiah 40:31 - But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

I love God! I love how sweetly He loves me and how he corrects me and reminds me I'm always His! 🖤

Warning LONG post!!!!!!

Ever feel like you don't matter? I do.
Ever feel like you have so many thoughts and no way to describe them? I do
Ever feel like God is so far away, like a distant memory that is there, you remember how it felt but you still can't get all of it back? I do.

I love God! I always have. But I admit I have been running. I am terrified of what He will make me do. I am terrified of what He will ask of me. I am scared, I will lose another person I love so much. Ive been praying. Ive been asking. Ive been begging and pleading. But I have not been listening.

I listened to a song ive heard a thousand times tonight. But the one version explains what the song means! And it hit me. As im running, He is coming after me. He leaves the 99 to find me. So I feel so lost, wondering if God even knows I'm still here but He left all the others to chase after me because im stubborn and hard headed. And He carries me on His shoulder HOME, even though i havent been faithful to listening to Him. Even though i may get lost again.

Im to busy telling Him what He needs to do that He can't get a word in to tell me what He already knows He needs to do!
So if you have ever felt this way? I do!! You Matter!!!!!

So much so that God Recklessly leaves everyone else to find YOU and only YOU because He loves YOU that much!! 🖤😘

These are the necklaces I have available right now. They are made with the leftover dried paint from my pours. I recycle it and make jewelry! 10 dollars for necklaces.
