Christian Artist Stories & Personal Essays
I write about the collision of faith, art, and real life — the Divine Design series that walks through Genesis alongside art history, and the personal essays that don’t clean up the mess before telling the story. Overcoming divorce, rebuilding after the military, learning to sit still as a Type A creative, figuring out where AI fits for artists who still believe in the human hand. If you’re a Christian artist, or just someone who wants their faith and their creative life to actually talk to each other, you’re in the right place.
