"Mom, Why do we celebrate Christmas?"
Andi—my four-year-old—and I spent some time this week coloring the dogwood flower sheet and learning about its symbolism and how it points to the cross. While she was coloring, she suddenly looked up and asked, “Mom, why do we celebrate Christmas?” At first, her question didn’t faze me. I simply told her it was Jesus’ birthday and that we celebrate that. She nodded and went back to coloring. But the more I’ve reflected on that moment, the more I think her question came from g

"To Everything there is a Season"- Fall Landscapes
This fall landscape started as a summer one — an older painting transformed with new layers of color and light. As I painted, I couldn’t help but think about how much has changed since last fall. Last fall was a season of uncertainty for our family. Our daughter had just been diagnosed, and we were preparing to leave home for five months — halfway across the country — for her bone marrow transplant. We knew everything was in His hands and had to trust that, whatever the outc

Dogwood Flowers For Christmas: A Symbol of the Cross
Each Easter, I paint the dogwood’s delicate blooms—symbols of the cross and of the love that conquered it. This year, I felt drawn to bring those blossoms into Christmas, weaving together the wonder of His birth with the purpose of His sacrifice. The dogwood flower is said to symbolize the cross of Christ. When I look at the dogwood, I see the whole story of redemption — from Bethlehem to Calvary. The One who lay in a wooden manger would one day hang upon a wooden cross and o

A Bold End to "Reflections on Light and Dark"
This collection, Reflections on Light and Dark , holds a very special place in my heart. It’s bittersweet to see it come to an end. My husband, Zach, played a big role in shaping this body of work. He encouraged me to push my boundaries—to explore the interplay of light and shadow in my landscapes using bolder, richer colors. At first, I was hesitant to step outside my established “style,” but his challenge turned out to be exactly what I needed to grow as an artist. The fina

Wildflower Shadow Paintings – A Nature-Inspired Art Project Rooted in God’s Beauty
This past week, I had the blessing of leading an art project for our small homeschool group that reminded us all of the creativity God has placed in each of us. It was simple, joyful, and turned out absolutely beautiful—perfect for little ones as young as four (with a little help) and still meaningful for teens and adults. We made wildflower shadow paintings using just wildflowers, sunlight, pencils, and watercolor paints. We placed the wildflowers in vases, then positioned

Capturing the Places That Hold Our Hearts
Recently, I painted a landscape of the spot where my sister-in-law got married — a quiet, sunlit view in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. As I worked, I realized how powerful it is to preserve a place not just as it looks, but as it feels . The mountains, the air, the memories woven into every color — it became more than a painting. It became a keepsake. That inspired me to open commissions for custom landscape paintings of special places — the beach where you said “I do,” the cabin w

"By Faith, Not Sight"
And so, this collection of paintings was born out of the views I saw that day—frozen river, glowing sky, snow-covered paths—a reminder that even in our darkest seasons, God is at work just beyond what we can see, clothing us in His grace.
