About & Contact

Hello there! Everyone I know calls me Mary, but my real name is Marydean.

I’m here to:

  • Unlock encouragement through Bible meditations for the weary, wounded, and wondering + a library of printable Bible coloring pages and cards
  • Unlock creativity through accessible art lessons
  • Unlock everyday joy through beautiful art you can have in your home and share with loved ones

I started my art print business in 2013 and my blog in 2014. The “Draws” in my website name comes from literal and figurative drawing based on this verse: “With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation” (Isaiah 12:3). I wanted a place where I could share the encouragement I found in God’s Word.

I live here in the lovely Shenandoah Valley, Virginia with my husband and three amazing kids. I have lived here for 18 years, but I grew up all over the country thanks to my dad’s Navy career (eight states and two foreign countries).

I learned a deep faith in Jesus as a young child from my parents. I am always growing and learning, and drawing on the riches of God’s grace.

Besides art, I love thrifting, reading, listening to podcasts, and eating good food. My favorite foods are sushi, Thai, and Vietnamese.

I share a studio space with my three cats: Benny, Oreo, and Suri. I am constantly inspired by color, flowers, nature, friends, good conversation, good books, and God’s Word.

For glimpses of my daily life and art, you can find me on Instagram @marydeandraws. 

I am so honored that you’re here!

    I've been trying to figure out a process for paint I've been trying to figure out a process for painting mixed media on a thrifted wood panel coated with cold press ground. I've been adding layers of ground to the flowers with a palette knife. Still not exactly where I want to go, but I learn something new each time. 😊🎨🖌

I think this is such an important step as you figure out your process for painting with watercolors. Today's lesson includes two sketching experiments to try, two drawing guides, and a bonus bird painting template to try.

These lessons are available for paid subscribers on Substack (for $5/month). I post new lessons every other Wednesday!
