A Visual Parable from the Seashore for these Times
E-Courses!
WELCOME!
I’m so glad you stopped by.
My passion is encouraging people to connect with God through creativity. Teaching Art Journaling and Art & Faith workshops in person and online are ways I live out that passion and connect with other like-hearted people. Through teaching and writing, my hope is to inspire people to believe in their creative ability, and to connect with God through the creative process. Taking time to listen and respond to God through art making is a natural part of my life and faith journey, a combination of being and doing, a collaboration and conversation with God.
“Love God
Serve Others – Make it Beautiful”
– my life motto
During this unprecedented time of ‘social distancing’ it is important to stay spiritually and socially connected. We are learning what this looks like during this forced Sabbath due to the COVID19 virus. I am praying and will be posting messages of encouragement on my blog.
Blessings of health and hope to you! ~ Valerie
