@ The Infantree | 21 North Prince Street

Thank you to everyone that came out and helped us raise money for the Inspire Art Ministry
as well as supported our local Lancaster artists by bidding on their work. It was a fantastic night that showed off the amazing gifts that God has given NewSong artists in addition to being a testimony of who God is the artist's lives.

Word of God
Sculpture

I was driven to visual metaphors as I searched through scripture to better understand the nature of God. I was inspired to use the verses that touched me to create a 3 dimensional art object to share the story of a believer in Christ surrounded by a fallen world. Each part comes together to speak about the amazing love letter written to creation.

Heavenly Ascent
Bamboo yarn and fiber reactive dyes

This piece is my artistic interpretation of Luke 24:50-53.  One can only imagine the glorious splendor in the sky as Jesus physically left the disciples and ascended to heaven

A Tribute to Fathers
Paper collage

What an awesome responsibility it must be to be a father. To lead, defend and protect. To teach, to care, to love. To be an example, to serve.

By The Dawn's Early Light
Giclée on canvas

My intention with this painting was to capture our beautiful flag as it naturally appears, with glorious morning light perpetually breaking over the horizon.  It still stands for freedom and liberty and justice for all.  We would do well to live by the words of our pledge to the American flag.

The Day Of Salvation
Oil on canvas

This painting is intended to shout that Jesus is Risen!  Glorious light is seen breaking forth from behind ominous clouds.  The light represents God - His power and also His truth.

Morning of the Lamb
Acrylic on canvas

When we go and make disciples of all nations we are summoning people, adding to the number of the faithful who will worship at the feet of Christ on that morning of the Lamb and in the perpetual day that follows. We are on a mission because God in Christ Jesus is worthy of all glory.

The Prophecy of Simeon
Acrylic on Wood

Based on the passage in Luke 2:34-35, this piece illustrates the prophecy of Simeon. A righteous man who was looking for the promised Messiah, Simeon recognized the Christ child (revealed to him by the Holy Spirit). After blessing the Child, Simeon prophesied to Mary concerning both the Child and herself. Christ had arrived, and His coming was going to cause some major upheaval...in Israel, in His own life, in Mary's soul and in each of our hearts.

Airport Funeral
Thumb tacks on plywood

I’ve never fully understood racism.  It goes against everything that God teaches us. We demean others to elevate ourselves instead of being humble. It’s only through the power and love of Christ that we can eliminate racism.

Grateful for the Little Things
Acrylic on canvas

In this hectic world, it is quite easy to get caught up in the many stresses of life. Sadly it is not that difficult for some of us to lose sight of who we are and what truly makes us happy. We must all take the time to remember that it is the little things that make life worth living, and that the smallest of blessings can keep us going through the roughest of times.

Flower:Field
Oil on canvas

A field filled with life shown through color and form. The warm brightness flowing from each plant stands as an image of the beauty found in a new creation in Christ. Between each line a pattern is found that shows the divine structure that the ultimate designer has made in everything on this earth.

Motherhood
Acrylic and fiber on canvas

I consider it the greatest privilege and honor to be the mother to my child who was uniquely created by God for His purposes. Whatever challenges or hardships come my way I know that God equipped me with all I need to be in order to care for my children. As mothers, we have been given a great responsibility, but also an even greater honor to love and care for His children in just the way He created and called us to do.

The Unveiling

Collagraph, edition of three

This piece is a representation of the temple curtain being torn from top to bottom the moment Christ was crucified, giving us all direct access to God only through Jesus Christ. This symbolism has always resonated with me not only as a believer in Christ, but as an artist, and I have felt compelled to depict it visually.

Faith
Water based oil & acrylic on canvas

For centuries God's people have called for guidance and life direction through faith. Promises from His word have kept us on track for life’s destinations, no matter how hard or how far. We meet those challenges through faith and hope God will always be with us. The answer lies within obedience.

Praise and Gratitude

Wire sculpture and paper

In the very fiber of our being we were made to praise and express gratitude.

Racism
Acrylic on canvas


God looks at us and sees Christ resurrected. He sees the potential of every heart and the beauty it beholds when we have a personal relationship with Him. Although we face difficulties and hardships, Jesus looks at us and says, “Take heart! I have overcome the world.”

The Eye of Wrath
Acrylic on canvas


In the Book of Revelation there are 21 judgements that God pours out onto the earth. The last of these are the 7 Bowls of Wrath - Judgements that are reserved for those who reject Jesus and take on the number of the beast. I hope viewing this piece  encourages you to pray for those not yet in Christ, that they might avoid God's wrath and experience His mercy.
