No. 10 Sometimes the Hard Things Are the Assignment

There are some weeks when I wish the assignment were something easier. Something that looked more like beauty and less like breaking. You would think that I would know these things by now, at my age, but He is so kind to gently remind me, again and again. I keep coming back to this quiet convicti...

No. 9 A Quiet Shift

I’ve been thinking about how not all seasons are long or dramatic. Some pass quietly. Others begin without much fanfare. You look up one day, and something has shifted—but it didn’t come with a loud arrival. It just was. Traveling these past weeks has given me a little space from the usual rhythm...

No. 8 Arriving Slowly (And Why That’s Okay)

I’ve been here in Provence for almost a month, and only now do I feel like I’ve finally arrived. Not in the obvious ways—bags unpacked (sort of), fridge stocked, paintbrushes in their jar—but in the quieter, deeper way of belonging. Of moving at the pace of this place. Of waking to birdsong and ...

No. 7 Nourishing Ourselves with Beauty

This week’s audio reflection circled around a theme I keep returning to: the deep nourishment beauty offers our hearts and minds--not as escape, but as invitation, not as luxury, but as essential. I shared a quote by John Erickson that’s been lingering in my thoughts: “What is a story? What is a...

No. 6 Remember Again

We forget. Not once or twice, but often. Sometimes before the day has even begun. We forget who we are. Whose we are. What has already been spoken over our lives. We forget the truth that steadies us when everything else feels uncertain: that we are chosen, redeemed, dearly loved. The world is qu...

Hi, Friend! I’m writing to you with a full and grateful heart after a beautiful 18 days at The Arbors Round Top. If you’ve ever participated in a show—whether as an artist, vendor, or guest—you know the mix of energy it brings: the anticipation, the long hours, the conversations that linger in yo...

No. 1: The Intersection of Faith and Art: How Faith Influences my Creative Practice

Hi, Friend!There’s a quiet rhythm I’ve come to know over the years—the kind that settles in early morning, in the way watercolor spreads across my sketchbook, or in the silence between thoughts during a creative experience. It’s in those small, often overlooked moments that I sense the Lord near-...

No. 2: Inside the Studio: How I Create, Rest, and Listen Through Art

Hello, Friend! There’s something sacred about stepping into the studio—whether it’s a dedicated space or a corner of the kitchen table. For me, it’s a return. A quiet yes. A place where the noise softens and the rhythm of making begins. Today, I wanted to invite you behind the scenes—into the eb...

No. 3: Finding Your Creative Rhythm: Embracing the Natural Flow of Inspiration

Hi, friend! There’s a rhythm to creativity. It’s not always predictable or consistent, but it’s there—like seasons unfolding or tide returning. And the more I pay attention to it, the more I realize how much grace is found in letting it lead rather than trying to force it into shape. For a long t...
