Hi, I’m

I'm an artist, author, and speaker devoted to creating spaces of encounter with Jesus.

In a culture that often prioritizes tangible success over intangible growth, I've noticed a malnourishment of our souls. The relentless pursuit of productivity often leads to anxiety, burnout, depletion, and isolation. Perhaps you've felt this too, that something essential has been fading, both within you and in the communities you're a part of. Maybe you, like me, long for a more holistic and compassionate approach that fosters a flourishing and fruitful life.

If you resonate with this, you're in the right place.

When I asked God what role He wants me to play in His Kingdom, he gave me the image of the servants at the wedding at Cana. As I spend time in loving union with Him, behind the scenes I am gathering His living water into the “jars” of my creative work. As I pour it out in love for others, I trust that He will turn this creative offering into new wine that brings delight, beauty, and taste of the Kingdom of God.

Therefore, with every brushstroke and word, my goal is to create safe and sacred spaces for you to encounter the boundless love of God.

I want to empower you to live out your unique identity as you seek God’s Kingdom come.

Ready to join me on this journey?

“When we encounter beauty, we are reminded of who we are and who we are becoming.”
