This was never just about making good work.
It’s about what your work carries.
The encouragement someone didn’t know they needed
The reminder that they’re not alone
The moment that points them back to God
You don’t have to have it all figured out.
You just have to be willing.
Create with God.

Fear is not your art teacher.
But it is loud.
It tells you:
“I’m bad at faces.”
“I don’t know how.”
“I’ll mess it up.”
Stop listening to fear.
We’re hosting two FREE workshops to help you stop dodging portraits and figures:
🎨 March 14 — Scribble & Shade: Portraits without Perfection
🎨 March 21 — Figures in Watercolor: Loose Figures Through Shape & Flow
Let's build confidence together.
Come practice without pressure.

Update: Thanks EVERYONE who contributed to buy 108 paint brushes for our prison art classes! We will continue to teach art in prison even though Idaho Prison Arts Collective has shut down; God Loves Art has taken over, and we will constantly need to buy more paints and new gifts for the residents, like new journals and watercolor sets; give anytime at the links in the comments. 🧡
Shine your light and help buy art supplies for the art classes I teach in prison! We teach at the prison every Friday, and you can support our work by buying a T-shirt, beanie, or sticker from our "Freedom Collection" by God Loves Art. Link to "Freedom Collection" is in the comments. ⬇️😁 Thank you!
P.S.- My business Venmo for God Loves Art is in the comments as well.
Help spread the word by liking and sharing! Thanks for believing in what we do! 💕🖌️🖌️🖌️

We do not rush into the new year
just because the culture demands momentum.
We refuse the noise that says
we must plan, prove, optimize,
or reinvent ourselves on command.
We choose to slow our making.
We wait when waiting is faithful.
We trust that obedience
bears more fruit than output.
Our art—and our ministry—
are formed at God’s pace.
Not rushed.
Not forced.
Led.

God’s Kingdom flips our world upside-down.
A King rides a baby donkey, not a warhorse.
Kindness pushes out fury.
The youngest lead.
Beauty rises from ashes.
The poor in spirit are blessed. (Matthew 5)
As artists, we can process Christ’s teachings through creativity—shining the hope of His Upside-Down Kingdom into a suffering world.
Join FACET, our free art webinar on Aug 14 (2pm ET / 1pm CT / 12 MT / 11 PT), as we explore God’s ways through visual art, performance, and writing. We’ll also create together in a reflective art-making time—translating heaven’s beauty into earth’s renewal (Isaiah 61:4).
Recorded for all who register.

You’re Invited to the 2nd Annual RISE Creative Gathering! This isn’t just a gathering—it’s a holy, creative uprising. This year, we dig deep into the Gardens of Scripture and the sacred metaphor of growth—because Jesus didn’t just talk about dirt, He revealed the mysteries of the Kingdom through it.
RISE is a bold invitation to new and emerging artists ready to create with God, encounter His presence, and rediscover the power of beauty, faith, and art.
Expect:
— Hands-on art workshops
— Prophetic art + creative worship
— Interactive collaborations + art tables
— Power-packed teachings from artists across the nation
— A Spirit-filled, radically inclusive artist community
You don’t need to be “religious.” You don’t even need to feel “ready.” If you long to create, to connect, to be seen—this space is for you. Sign up at GodLovesArt.com
Come as you are. Let God grow something wild and beautiful in you.
RISE.

Boldness is not noise; it is truth spoken with love and clarity.
“Let all that you do be done in love.” (1 Corinthians 16:14)
Your art does not need to roar to be strong.
Your voice does not need to echo to be eternal.
Your vulnerability is not weakness.
It is the courage that transforms rooms, hearts, and histories
This is boldness:
not noise, but love
spoken with clarity
and lived with grace.

Your art is not a luxury. It’s a necessity.
It carries light. It carries truth.
The world needs what’s in you. Don’t hold back. Don’t wait until it’s perfect. Share the raw, the real, the beauty you’ve been entrusted with.
Someone’s healing is on the other side of your courage.
So give us what you’ve got. We’re ready.
Tag us in your work, your practice, and your play—we’d love to see and celebrate it with you.
