"Once upon a time," "suddenly," and "creativity" are very real to me. Once upon a time I thought I would never have the opportunity to do what burned for so many years in me to do.
Art and sports were always my passion, tennis and painting specifically. I went after a professional tennis career and was greatly blessed. But creative arts burned. I was excited to be a part of the founding of what became Blood n Fire Ministries with my husband, David, but the creative inheritance from my mom kept calling me back to the studio, music and art.
Suddenly, something happened. My God started flooding me with creativity for paintings... Dreams, visions, prophetic words, and scriptures. My most powerful heavenly experiences began to occur while painting, especially in the midst of amazing worship in conferences.
And suddenly there was the outflow of creativity to now allow me to impart creativity and help people tear down the walls that have kept them from pursuing the gift that brings them hope and life.
He continues to be my greatest Teacher, the most creative Creator of all…come and see!

Why is art so important to you?
God is so creative and He is creating fresh daily. He invites us to be creative with Him. Our ministry has long proclaimed fresh outpouring of sounds and colors, words and movements that reflect the fresh downloads of revelation and creativity from heaven. Art is a means of putting the very heart of God in a form that has a universal language that brings life and hope and inspiration. In my painting I can actually see the creativity of vortexes and portals that allow supernatural transactions of God's love and His desiring to fellowship with His people.
Why do you want people to have your art?
I believe my art is an extension of God's creative love and His desire to speak prophetically to all people. He says He pours out His Spirit on all peoples. I have been told that my art is a form of the prophetic message from God that will last in the memories of the one gazing upon it far longer than a prophetic word will be remembered. My artwork, whether in someone's home or office, church or ministry, is a daily visual reminder of God's creativity and His desire to speak to us moment by moment.
What do you mean when you say you hear from God? How does God speak to you?
He speaks in dreams, visions, pictures and thoughts. Just like giving a prophetic word when you only have a small piece of it, sometimes I am given just a little and by being faithful in that little bit on the canvas, He gives me the rest that completes the prophetic message. Recently I painted at a White Dove Conference where Paul Keith Davis shared a visitation he had in Israel. He said he had not planned on that except when he looked over and saw my painting. That was all the confirmation he needed.
What are your favorite stories of people's lives being changed by your art?
First, when there is an open door for me to share about creativity and then I am allowed to release it in meetings, God really moves on those hungry for more. One lady asked for prayer because she was a worshipper who hadn't written a song in five years. She excitedly came to me the next morning with her new song. Another lady had a spirit of fear of man that prohibited her from dancing. After prayer she was not only dancing with freedom but on the microphone releasing it over the church. Some have wept uncontrollably while looking at the art as the Lord reveals His heart for them.
