Peace Be Still

Original Art

Mixed Media on Canvas

This was one of those “intuitive” paintings. I didn’t have a beginning, middle, or end in mind. I just started painting. Then, I began to have a vision of this little sheep. The painting took on a life of its own. The more I painted, I realized I was effortlessly leaning into my faith and I felt so peaceful. I decided to title this one “Peace be Still”.

This painting is sold, but feel free to contact me if you are interested in a professionally printed reproduction of the painting.

Also, I am going to be an instructor next year in an online class, Paint Your Heart and Soul. I will be teaching students how to create an animal similar to this one. You might have already heard about this amazing course as it is one of the most popular art classes in our online art community. However, if you’ve never heard about it before – it is not just another online class! In a nutshell, this is a year-long fun and informative art course with weekly lessons, where you not only can learn how to create gorgeous art and improve your skills using different art supplies, but also to share your progress and interact with instructors and students from all around the world from the convenience of your own home and time. I will put the link below.

Flying Free and Finding My Voice

Fly Free I have always been one of those people who is naturally shy. It may have a little to do with the way we were raised, we were always told that children "are to be seen and not heard". Growing up in that culture, I've always had trouble expressing what I'm feeling or saying what I wanted to say. Why would I have anything worth saying? I always felt that when I finally was able to say something, was anyone really listening? To add to this, I grew up feeling like I really didn't fit in anywhere, that I was usually the odd one out. I was the one who got picked last for the team, didn't stand up for myself...I didn't know how, didn't have " permission ". I couldn't really find my place, or my voice. I attended Columbine High School for one semester before we moved to a wonderful little small Texas town. When I first got there, the kids in ...

Have You Danced Lately?

"She Danced" This is my latest mixed media piece. The words just seemed perfect for this one. I was inspired by an artist that teaches "tu tu" painting classes and I really wanted to try and make my own "dress" and add my own unique, personal touches and words. Anyone who knows me, knows I struggle with words. When I paint, I feel like I communicate what I can't say. I get lost in another world and time slips away. This is how I imagine it is for other artists as well. I can imagine when dancing, time slips away and the dancer is transported into another world. This canvas was huge, literally for me. My brother has been encouraging me to do larger works. So, because I love him so much and he always knows what's good for me, I took the leap. This is my second attempt at a 36 X 36 X 1.5 canvas. My first attempt felt so daunting and I felt so lost. With t...
