Art Commission: Embraced By The Savior

“I am so grateful for my almost 21 years with my amazing son. So Michael’s final request of his oldest sister… was to have her find an artist to draw him out of his wheelchair being embraced by the Savior. And he wanted his sweet dog Ana in the picture. So this is what I was given as a Christmas present from Michael and my children.”

Karen Cook

“You are absolutely amazing. I hope that you know how many lives you touch with your artwork… thank you for being so close to the spirit that it reflects in your artwork. Oh my heart is full! I appreciate everything you do to help families feel at peace and remember there is something larger than our time on earth here.”

About the Artist

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.
