Art Commissions: Missionaries in Heaven

I just completed another sketched memory, a dream that was had where this little angel was all grown up, serving up in Heaven as a missionary – serving alongside his uncle. 🙂 I deeply appreciate being given the honor of painting & sketching memories for others. I feel it is privilege and sacred thing to bring to life what others hold close to their heart – a treasured memory to never be forgotten. ♥ I have no doubt that the work doesn’t end here in this earthly life. Our existence does not just expire – but lives on after this life. Our Heavenly parents desire to have us all return home, and will never give up on us. ‘No man left behind’ is meaningful here as well as up in Heaven. 🙂

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. 💝🪷
