About this Painting…

Many Christians are familiar with the poem Footprints in the Sand, which describes the heartache and sadness we feel as we walk through the trials in life. In the sand are two sets of prints which gradually become one set of footprints. With this painting, I wanted to illustrate a deeper feeling and show an increased level of emotional desperation…the devastation of how hard it is to keep moving forward when our footsteps become too heavy to keep going… Christ then steps in to help lift us to make our burdens lighter. Though we may feel convinced that we are alone, that we have been abandoned, we are never too far from His reach.

About the Artist

Rebecca Emily Cooper

I’m an artist, author, and poet. My work is often shaped by lived experiences and by paying close attention to the world around me… nature, and the people who have helped shape my life.

I usually paint first, and the words come later. Painting has been the safest way I’ve found to be honest about things that are hard to say out loud, and over time I’ve noticed other people finding their own stories in the work too.

My paintings are meant to comfort, to feel like a presence rather than a statement, and to give space for each person to find their own meaning. The connection that happens there matters most to me.
