Title of piece: When In Deep Waters

Inspiration for piece:

When in deep waters, seeking and reaching for God’s light and presence will always bring us the only bit of hope we need to see the beauty in our hard times. It’s the only way to swim all the way to the surface and take that deep breath of peace and fresh air.

My specialty is usually custom requests from friends, family and the local community. This piece was simply inspired for a mermaid themed bathroom decor. With my work, I almost ALWAYS love to sneak God’s light in there somehow. Because I know that when I do, that piece will become extra special to someone.

Where do you draw inspiration for your artwork?

Just looking up. I try to seek God everywhere I go and He never fails to inspire me.

Who are your biggest supporters?

My husband, Greg, is my biggest supporter of all! He’s always pushing me to not give up and to keep doing what I love. He helps me to grow. I also am very blessed with SO many family members and friends who are all very supportive and encouraging. I honestly could probably use a lot more constructive criticism, haha!

Why do you read glo?

I love seeing the new, beautiful cover paintings, and I absolutely love supporting local artists and businesses. glo is a very positive and inspiring example of what the world needs more of!
