A collaboration between God and I. Art and A New Link.

Answered Prayer

&

Divinely Inspired.

I am so, so excited to share

my newest inspirational

art.

Titled,

"A Splash of Color

  A Dose of FAITH"

Here's the story

behind the ART.

Hope you like it!

Sooooo...

The Internet is abundant with

 beautiful works of art

and artist.

I love to look at all the

creative artwork out there in

blog land and ETSY it can

be so inspiring.

But, sometimes I feel overwhelmed

by all the talented people out

there.

I had begun to think its all been

done like...(art)

What is original?

What hasn't been done?

Flowers...done!

Animals....done!

Collage...done!

An artist teaches a class

and you come out with a

piece of art that is more a

reflection of their

style then your own.

I want my own style.

As an artist you want to be

unique and stand out in the crowd.

It is kinda hard to explain, I'll Try! 

What do I want from my art?

I want my work to show the connection

I have with God when I am creating it.

I don't want to be just another artist.

I want to be a Christian Artist.

 Is that a limiting label? Maybe but, I don't care!

I want the world to know I love Jesus and

without him I would not have these gifts.

I want my art to be less about

me and more about the

work God is doing

through me & in me.

"Art is a collaboration between

 God and the artist, and the less

 the artist does the better."

 ~André Gide

 This is one of my all time favorite

quotes.

So I have been praying,

God Give me something

NEW!

Give me something small 4 1/2"x4 1/2"and

affordable to all.

Give me something

that shows my LOVE  for YOU.

Let me first start by telling you

that I really didn't spend much time

in the studio last month.

Just not feeling IT!

So a couple days ago I walk

into my studio and as if in a daze

I spy a old piece of art

which I had cut up into strips and

woven it together with a verse on it.

I never finished it!

It was big 18"x20" or so.

The only explanation I have is

the Holy Spirit took over and I

just started cutting up old artwork,

Which I wasn't happy with.

Reclycled ART.

I don't think I could have stopped

creating these if I wanted to.

With in 3 hours or so I had these made.

Then I thought to myself,  Had

God

planted this seed in me 4 years

ago when I made the big one?

It was a Holy Spirit moment.

When I finished these pieces and I took a

step back, I felt tingles

and goose bumps from my

head to my toes.

Ya'all are thinking eek, she could

be crazy.

But, these I call  Holy Spirit moments

and they are

real to me!

I know... I know, CRAZY,

But, I know I am not alone it these

moments...which I can feel the presence

of the Holy Spirit.

(Cause I am blessed to know others

like me.) LOL!

I have some good... good friends,

and when we get together in prayer

we all get these same feelings.

Not all the time, just sometimes.

Like when we are praying for

others or our husbands...LOL!

In the end friends, MY truly

 honest intention

is and will always be

to honor God and to

use my gifts and talents to

Give my Father in Heaven all

the Glory!

My intention is to share this gift with others

so they to will be blessed and inspired to use their gifts.

I want to be transparent even if it means

I have to be vulnerable.

I refuse to white wash my faith or

 My truth...

God is my Father,

Jesus is His son,

and My Savior

and the Holy Spirit

Lives In Me.

I am a

CHRISTIAN ARTIST.

Welcome to my journey!

I am so glad you stopped

by.

Many Blessings, Deborah
