What began as a collection about grief slowly became a testimony of grace. My “Grief to Joy” Collection was born from walking through seasons of loss, uncertainty, and stretching faith—and discovering that God often creates beauty in the very places we would rather avoid. Each piece in this collection reflects the quiet ways He restores hope: through hymns, color, memory, and small moments of light that remind us joy is still possible. My prayer is that these paintings feel like an invitation to breathe deeply, hold onto hope, and remember that grace has a way of carrying us all the way through to joy.

 

Thank you for sharing this emotional time with me as I come up on the one year anniversary of my dad's passing. If you have experienced loss and are feeling lots of things all at the same time, that's exactly what this collection is about. You are loved.
