My Latest


I haven't done a piece this large for quite a while. My aunt wrote lyrics to some beautiful hymns and I had the pleasure and honor of designing the packaging for the music. As I was sketching out ideas at the beginning, I had visions of scenes from Narnia. I kept thinking of the snow beginning to melt in "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe." Without having told anyone that, my aunt said it reminded her of Narnia when she looked at it! I was so thrilled to have successfully captured the feelings of hope communicated as the snow melts and Aslan's return draws nearer in those wonderful stories. It makes me feel so hopeful even now.

May we always have this same unwavering hope and excitement as we wait for our glorious Savior, Jesus Christ's return!

Changing Seasons

It is beginning to look like fall around here!! Leaves are a changin'! I have been waiting to make this recipe till just the right time. It is a lovely fall color don't you think? Coconut curry butternut squash soup found here. We just devoured this soup. It has so many great flavors all in one little bowl! You should try it. It just tasted so delicious in the midst of the changing Colorado leaves!
