People often ask me why I'm so passionate about beauty. Why photography? Why journaling? Why mixed-media art? Why do I believe creativity can deepen our faith?

When I picked up a camera in 2014 everything changed in how I see and experience the world around me. I realized that it was possible to be met with Beauty, love, and grace in the moments I seek it.

Over the past couple of weeks, my heart has felt heavy with conviction and questions, too. Here’s what I know to be true: God really does care about every part of your life. As an artist, I will focus on creativity as just one of the many ways in which He will nurture our hearts and souls in Beauty and truth. Why? Because it draws us closer to Him. When we embrace creativity as a gift from Him, even in the simplest of ways, we step into our purposes and passions that He has s

One of the greatest gifts of the Christian life is that we can never reach the end of knowing God. Yet if we're honest, it's easy to become familiar with the rhythms of our faith. We read familiar passages of Scripture. We say familiar prayers. We move through familiar routines. And before we realize it, we've stopped expecting God to surprise us. Not because He has stopped loving and guiding, But because we've stopped noticing. I've found that one of God's sweetest invitati

When someone shares how they meet with Jesus through creativity, they're doing more than teaching a skill. They're inviting us into a glimpse of their journey

As I think about this beautiful gathering, I keep coming back to one image. Not twenty experts. Not twenty perfect women. Twenty windows. Each one opens to a different view of God's beauty.

Do you remember that gem of a book, The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman? It's such a good book that helps you learn more about yourself and your spouse, let alone other people in your life that you love and care about. When I began to experiment with my creativity, I thought everything creative was something I needed to do. Be a student of all of it and a master of nothing. Not that I am a master of anything, because I am not. However, what I began to realize was tha

Today, I want to chat a little bit about community and what I am learning through this process of creating one. With Season One of The Creating with Beauty Podcast ending, I am in awe of the women I've had the privilege to talk with. Each one had such beautiful encouragement and wisdom that honestly changed how I look at some things in my life.  When a creative woman opens her heart and faith to share something personal and sacred with others, I firmly believe God meets
