She draws inspiration from the study of God's Word and the peace of soul it provides. Her paintings seek to visually interpret this journey through a method she likes to call "painting by the Spirit," where the overflow of her dependent, Spirit-filled heart comes through the expression of her surrendered hands with the intention of truly blessing those who view her work. She and her husband, Adrian, live in Georgia with their three fur babies.
