Etsy Shop

I haven't been maintaining this blog, but I have recently been creating more art!  Also, I have an Etsy shop where I'm trying to sell prints.  Please support my shop by purchasing a paper or canvas print!

Sow Weeping 11/28/14

"Those who sow in tears shall reap with shouts of joy!  He who goes out weeping, bearing the seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts of joy, bring his sheaves with him." Psalm 126:5-6

A Child's Grasp 10/19/14

Today was a real weekend day... I did no work and I actually drew.

Weighted Heart

I drew this while traveling in Puerto Rico this summer.  I traveled solo for two weeks and it was a great experience.  Of course I had ambitious goals to do more artwork on the trip, but I learned over the course of my travels to loosen the pressure I was putting on myself.

I keep coming back to the imagery of a heart, broken and weighted.  There is one who can heal; there is one who can free.

Untitled 6/28/14

And I drew again today.

Just Draw 6/27/14

Ok, it's been a ridiculous amount of time since I did any artwork regularly.  I keep feeling not in the mood or not sure what to make.  So I thought it best to just draw something.  So that's what this is.  Hoping this will lead to much more work to come.

Recovery 2/8/14

I haven't posted since August.  In September, I tore my ACL in my knee and in December, I had surgery to reconstruct it.  It's been an interesting five months...  I've thought a lot about not taking for granted what I am physically able to do and I've had downs and ups in frustrations and triumphs with my recovery.  In the time spent on physical therapy, I've let go of things... one of which was time to make art.  I hope that I've learned something in all this.  I think about my mortality.  I think about my blessings.  I praise God for the ability to walk again.  I praise God for a chance to draw today.
