Ashes 2 Beauty Artistry

I’m so excited to create another live painting at this annual gala with ! The piece will come to life throughout the evening, and the finished artwork will be auctioned at the end to support their mission.

It’s inspiring to see how God is using their rehabilitation work to change lives and impact the community. The evening will include dinner, incredible music, powerful testimonies, and a silent auction. Join us for a night of celebration and hope! ✨

Last weekend, I had the privilege of finishing and delivering this painting to a friend as a surprise birthday gift for her husband, who happens to share my birthday.

This piece was especially meaningful to me because their sweet baby, Hazel, was born with spastic quad cerebral palsy like mine. Painting her tiny hands, in particular, felt deeply personal as they reminded me so much of my own.

I had the chance to meet Hazel when I delivered the painting, and she immediately stole my heart. Though she was born with additional challenges, including blindness, she continues to grow stronger every day.
Hazel and her family are often in my thoughts and prayers. Hearing even a small part of their story was such a blessing, they are truly a beautiful family.

Super excited to announce this collaboration with my wonderful lifelong friends at Sanctuary Ridge Farms this month! During the opening weekend of their Tulip Festival, I’ll be doing a live painting of their beautiful fields and scenery. The original painting will be available for purchase, along with art prints and greeting cards of the piece. All profits will go to Amani Baby Cottage Orphanage.

We would love to see you there on March 28 and truly appreciate any support for the farm and the orphanage! 🌷🎨
