Drawing Challenge: Day 101 Charity

Who in your life has taught you the most about charity? (please share in a comment below)

I asked this of my Facebook friends, and my sweet niece shared with me her feelings about her Mom…

“My mom has taught me more than anyone what it means to really love and what charity it-the REAL, PURE, TRUE, SELFLESS love of Christ. I cannot count the infinite number of things she has done to show love to hundreds-even thousands-of people. It has always been something I have admired so much in her and that’s what makes her my hero. Above all, I have watched her raise all ten of us with that same kind of love and have always felt her love for me. So here is a picture (among many!) of her doing just what she does best-loving her children.” – Anna

About the Artist

I am an advocate first, and an artist second. My paintings create visual comfort-- spaces where grief, hope, and healing can live together without apology...

I paint what matters most: the people you cherish, the moments that shaped you, the feelings that need witness. Through art, your most precious memories move outside of you and into your home, where they can be held, seen, and never forgotten.

My work is rooted in three commitments: honoring the experiences of indigenous communities and the history of the land we inhabit; creating safe space for children and women whose voices have been silenced; and recording the honest truth of lived experience-- both my own and that of those who came before me. I believe art has the power to tell stories that words alone cannot, and to preserve what must not be lost or forgotten. I believe that all that we know about ourselves is because Art has preserved those stories throughout history, outliving those who created it.

When you encounter my work, I hope you find yourself in it-- not as escape, but as recognition. I hope it reminds you that your feelings matter, that your story deserves to be held, and that compassion and truth are still worth carrying forward.

Art is the voice that speaks honestly through the heart. 💝🪷
