HeArt of Healing

Before introducing this collection, I want to acknowledge that the note below was written before I had matured as a Christ-following artist. Some of these early works reflect that lack of maturity. At the time, I understood art differently. Later, God led me into the truth that art is His gift and should be used for His glory. I have chosen to keep the original note because it reflects His patient work in my life. It was not art itself that healed me, but God, who used creativity to soften my heart, confront my past, and lead me more deeply into Christ.

Original Note About the Collection, “HeArt of Healing”

This early and experimental collection marks the beginning of my artistic journey. Created through a season of healing, growth, and discovery, these works hold special meaning for me because they reflect both artistic exploration and the awakening of my heart. Some were painted before 2018 and hidden away at a time when I did not yet believe I could truly be an artist. In 2018, I began painting regularly and created more than seventy works by the end of the summer. I gathered them into this collection because each painting became part of a larger story of healing, courage, and becoming.
