This was a final collaborative painting that was created the night of a Painted Prayer workshop in my art studio, Wonder and Create Art Studio.

“As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace”

– 1 Peter 4:10

My heart for ministry comes from my heart for (over) sharing the good things the Lord has shown and taught me in various areas of my life. I just can’t NOT do it. It’s just a part of who I am. As we have walked through long-suffering, all I want to do is give to others what we didn’t have in the darkest days. As I learned how to intimately connect with the Lord through creativity, I now desire to share that goodness with others so they, too, can experience that intimacy. As I have relied heavily on “chasing God’s beauty” to help heal my wounds and scars, I look forward to encouraging others to do the same so they, too, can experience that freedom in healing.

I love studying God’s living word. It brings me joy to receive wisdom through his teachings that I can apply to my life and help others understand how to apply it to theirs. One of my spiritual gifts is teaching and I have a passion for talking about scripture, its application, getting ‘real’ and creating safe spaces for Christians to talk about the stuff nobody else wants to talk about within the church - the good, the bad and the ugly. This will sound weird but for the longest time, as far back as I can remember, I have had this phrase on my heart:

“I’m every woman”

…it’s actually a line from a song and full disclosure, I sing it most of the time when it comes in my head (thanks, Chaka Kahn/Whitney Houston) but what this means to me is that I know the challenges I face, the topics and subjects that I want to learn about, the revelations from God’s word that are important to me, all of it is what every woman wants and needs to know. We (women) are all the same, really, with our desires and needs, and when we come together, and be real together, we can learn so much from each other and grow into the women we were created to be. I have worked with children, tweens, teens, and married couples in ministry, but my heart and passion is working with women and breaking through all of the insecurities, fears, doubts and questions we all have.

Current Ministries

C3: Christian Creative Collective

Christian Creative Collective, or C3, was created for the Christian woman who finds creativity an essential part of her becoming – that is, her coming into the masterpiece God designed her to be - and who desires to do so in community, with like-minded women to walk alongside.


C3 gatherings are made up of a sisterhood of truth and beauty seekers, hope followers, storytellers, and creators whose lives and artistry have been redeemed by the Gospel of Jesus Christ. As we gather and create in His name, in a welcoming and safe environment, we are encouraged, and we encourage one another on our spiritual and artistic journeys.

PANS/PANDAS Support

Through our family’s extremely difficult walk with Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder Associated with Strep, we have walked through some of the darkest nights, which turned into seasons, which turned into long-suffering BUT GOD. As the Lord walked with us, He gave us comfort and strength in our weakness that we were then, able to give to others. We have been meeting with, praying with and over, and providing resources to numerous parents, teachers, police officers, doctors and hospital staff and other government employees involved with children for over six years now.

Coming Soon: Rooted

“I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.” – Colossians 3:16-19

Rooted is a women’s ministry that exists to glorify God by helping his beloved daughters grow and become grounded in their knowledge, faith and relationship with Jesus to know who they are and whose they are, thus, helping them to live more fully in the lives God has planned for them and in return, to love others well.

Rooted will do this by offering monthly gatherings and opportunities to discuss relevant topics and books, worship and study God’s word together, pray for one another, have fun together and hold each other accountable for our personal and spiritual development.

Past Ministries

Painted Prayer

Painted Prayer began when I felt called to invite women into my home art studio to experience the same connection with the Lord, freedom and release that I was experiencing with painting expressive abstract art.

The painting in the photo above was a final canvas painted during one of my Painted Prayer workshops where women took turns adding to the canvas. We used our hands, bodies, and hearts to make our marks on the canvas, and prayed, worshipped and even shed a few tears in the process.

Wonder and Create Art Studio’s ‘I am a Masterpiece’ Youth Camps

“I am a Masterpiece’ is a week-long summer art program where students create art directly inspired by scripture with the theme being “I am a Masterpiece'“.

More information will be made available soon and the curriculum will be available for purchase.
