“Mom, I’m going to grow up and be that.”

Rosie told me this as she stretched out her arms in front of “Wingspan.” May she always know her divine potential, a goddess in the making. 🤍

Teddy had his own favorite, grabbing my hand to show me “Jesus with dinesaws” (dinosaurs), a painting titled “O Salvador e Seus Amigos.” Seeing the art through my children’s eyes made the evening even sweeter.

It was a gift to be surrounded by incredible art and artists at the Springville Museum of Art’s Spiritual and Religious Art Show. I’m grateful to have shared my own perspective and voice in this beautiful gathering of faith and creativity.

Thank you to the friends and family who came to support me, and to everyone who has shared love and encouragement along the way. I caught photos with some of you and missed others, but please know how much your presence meant to me.

Thank you for a beautiful night. My heart is full.

Many imagine the gaze of God as severe or searching, a look that measures and corrects. This work offers another vision.

Not a gaze that says, "Look at what you’ve done."
But one that whispers, "Look at you."

I would love to know what this idea brings up for you. How do you imagine the gaze of God?

I’ve been wondering how to portray what divine love might actually feel like —
not just in words, but in presence.

This painting is my attempt to step into that question.

What does love feel like to you?

Opening night is tonight at the Compass Gallery.

When I dropped off this painting I got a preview of the show — there is some truly powerful work in this exhibition.

I’ll be there from 6–9pm tonight if you'd like to come say hello.

Whether I see you tonight or sometime this month, I highly recommend experiencing the show.

Today, I begin.

January 1 — the launch date I set for myself long before I knew how imperfect the path would look.

This work was created in borrowed hours — in a shared space with my son, a messy studio, good Jesus music, and light pouring in through the window. It was built through late nights after my kids were asleep, steady faith, and the kindness of people who carried things for me when I couldn’t.

I see God’s hand so clearly in the way forward was provided — not all at once, but step by step, light by light.

As a child, I dreamed of being both an artist and an adventurer. I didn’t know then how much courage it would take to begin before everything felt ready. But I believe this season is exactly where I was being led.

If you’ve felt called to start something — even in a space that feels small, shared, or imperfect — let this be your reminder: you don’t have to have it all figured out. You only have to follow the light God gives you.

This is just the beginning.
Share it with me — and start yours.

I don’t always see where God is leading while I’m in the middle of the work.

But every once in a while, He offers a moment of clarity—quiet, kind, and deeply affirming.

This gallery opening is one of those moments for me.

If you’d like to come, the doors are open this Friday from 6–9 pm at the Compass Gallery (250 W Center St, Provo, Utah).

I wrote more about this experience and what it taught me on my blog, if you’d like to read.

A personal reflection on art, faith, and trusting God before the proof arrives—how a quiet prompting led to unexpected confirmation.

This felt like a milestone.

After we opened it, I propped the canvas against the wall—and both my kids just sat and looked at it for a long time. Watching their quiet interaction with my painting of Jesus reminded me why I create at all.

I ordered this as a test canvas print from my website, and seeing it finished—framed, tangible—made everything feel real.

Rooted in love, faith, and the hope of sharing light.

Official launch coming January 2025 🤍

On Christmas, God became incarnate.

He was born—small, vulnerable, embodied—
and in that birth, love took on flesh.

Christ embodies love itself.

In Jesus Christ, love is not abstract.
It is relational.
Present.
Healing.
Near.

This ongoing series, Love Incarnate, is my attempt to explore that truth:
not only that God took on flesh—
but that He shows us how to love.

Joyfully.
Gently.
Completely.
