The Work Of My Hands - For The Glory Of God
Bringing Together The Work Of My Hands And The Story Of My Heart
Welcome
This website holds the many pieces of my story — pieces shaped by creativity, love, faith, and the unexpected journey of grief.
I am an artist and digital portrait painter who believes every life carries beauty worth remembering. I am also a writer, sharing stories that offer comfort, faith, and hope in seasons of both joy and sorrow. And I am someone who has walked, and is still walking through deep loss through which I have discovered that healing is not a destination, but a journey I must travel day by day.
What you will find here is more than artwork or books.
You will find expressions of the heart — my heart: paintings, words, and reflections created from real life, real love, real sorrow, and real faith.
Whether you are here to commission a portrait, explore my books, or find encouragement for your own journey, I am honored to share this space with you. I pray you will feel at home here.
Explore the different ways stories, art, creativity, and faith come together here.
Capturing Life...Celebrating Those We Love...Creating Art
Wrapped In Spring Light
There are moments when the world seems to soften, when light filters gently through blossoms, and love feels quietly present in every detail. In Wrapped In Spring Light, two cardinals rest together beneath flowering branches, their vibrant forms held within the warmth of a new season. Known to mate for life, cardinals symbolize devotion and enduring connection — a reminder that true love remains steady through every changing landscape. The stream moves softly nearby, carrying reflections of sky and time, while spring’s gentle glow wraps the scene in peace. Nothing feels rushed here. The moment simply exists — calm, faithful, and full of grace. This painting speaks of love that stays… of companionship that feels written into creation… and of the quiet assurance that even after winter, warmth returns. Wrapped in light, wrapped in hope, wrapped in love, this is the beauty of a heart held close through every season.
“The flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come…”
Song of Solomon 2:12
