Introducing the Bright Spots Collection

It’s here! The Bright Spots Collection is live! I’ve been working on this collection through these dark winter months. I enjoyed mixing the mediums of watercolor and pastels (and sometimes pencil) and exploring the way colors and shapes worked together. Each piece is named after the “bright spots” we’ve found this past year.

You can support me and the release of this collection in a few ways (and I’d be so grateful!):

  1. Browse the collection (see slideshow below) and let me know which piece you liked the best!
  2. Follow me on social media: INSTAGRAM or FACEBOOK and share the collection there.
  3. Purchase an original framed piece for your home or as a gift. I know original art is not in everyone’s budget, but if it is, original art is a beautiful addition to the character and beauty of your home. When you buy art, you are investing back in all the artist’s time learning, experimenting, and perfecting their craft. When you buy art, you are buying a moment of creativity!

Below is a slideshow preview of all the pieces. You can shop them all HERE!

I recorded today's newsletter as a "pretend podcas I recorded today's newsletter as a "pretend podcast." You can hear me yap about how much I love the story of Frozen, why I think the song "Let it Go" has to be understood in context of the movie's whole story, and what I think that insight has to teach us about good Biblical interpretation.

Jesus Speaks to Women: Mary Magdalene, Part 2 on J Jesus Speaks to Women: Mary Magdalene, Part 2 on John 20:1-18 is posted on Substack! 

Here is some of what I'm pondering:
🖤 what did the death of Jesus mean to Mary?
🖤 why did Jesus meet her first after his resurrection?
🖤 the evidence of the grave linens
🖤 a new type of Eve
🖤 Golgotha has a garden
