A portrait sketch of my daughter. The first year of her life was a blur. She was waking up every two hours in the night until she was nine months old. I never thought I’d sleep again. Everyone said I would miss those early days and I certainly do now. It’s both fascinating and heartbreaking watching children grow.

When my grandmother passed away I received a necklace that belonged to her, something that had, before her, belonged to my great-grandmother. There's a physical and emotional weight carried with legacy. As I, in turn, wear her necklace, I’m reminded of my own mortality and the things I carry. Not just the physical things, but the weight of day-to-day burdens. I wonder what it is that I will leave behind. “The Things She Carries," oil on panel

In a year rife with political division, never forg

In a year rife with political division, never forget that God is sovereign and knows exactly what He is doing. Jesus came into this world to save us all...as an unplanned pregnancy. And it was a baby in the womb that was the first to rejoice at the Lord's coming (Luke 1:41). Imagine, if you can, the power Jesus surrendered, to be rocked to sleep in Mary's arms. Jesus calls us to be like little children, and did He not set the precedent? Children do not fret over the future, but live by faith in the moment. Let’s not focus on sickness and death, but the gift of eternal life that came down from heaven. God has already won the war and it came, most unexpectedly, in the form of a tiny, helpless baby. Merry Christmas!

The Art Renewal Center is one of the most prominent resources for promoting realistic artworks and their significance for humanity as a whole. Art defies time and language barriers and can often express where words may fail. Needless to say, I’m stoked to be a finalist and had to double-check the list to confirm my name was still there. “In the Stillness,” charcoal and white chalk on paper #15tharcsalon

A portrait from a couple of years ago using only raw umber and white. Usually, painting feels like wrestling a bear and I question all of my life decisions. Sometimes, like with this painting, everything effortlessly comes together and for a brief, shining moment I decide that I like the artist’s life 👩🏻‍🎨
