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!

    Chapter 4 is out on Substack! Wow, I learned so mu Chapter 4 is out on Substack! Wow, I learned so much writing this one. I had never seen Vasily Polenov's painting of this story from John 8 before! I'd never studied this story in its context in the Gospel of John or understood why it was omitted from early manuscripts.  I go into all the details in the study!

The Bible and this painting left me astounded. Anyone can read on Substack for free, but paid subscribers can download the study guide with discussion questions and a coloring page based on Polenov's painting!

You can read it all at the link in my profile or find me on Substack. :)
