I love helping artists of all ages connect to God through their creativity by guiding them step-by-step through Catholic-inspired art tutorials.
My tutorials are a free resource created with Catholic families, educators, and homeschool co-ops in mind. I want all children to have access to art education and this is my small way of offering that service to Catholic communities.
It’s a labor of love and something that I enjoy doing in my spare time. If you would like to support my channel, consider buying me a coffee or donating an item from my art supply wishlist!
Definitely not my typical weekend! 🎥🎬👀 #catholicartist #catholictv
I wanted to share a quick behind-the-scenes of an interview I got to take part in. It was definitely a unique experience and opportunity to share about my work. I’m …looking forward to seeing how it all comes together in the future.
Not pictured 🙃:
🧹🧽 Panic cleaning the entire house.
😭🥗 Struggling to form coherent sentences and feeling like everything that came out of my mouth was word salad. Crying.

Making a watercolor painting for a young missionary #catholicartist #catholicart
My friend Katie commissioned me to create an original watercolor for …
My friend Katie commissioned me to create an original watercolor for her friend Laryn in honor of her solemn profession of perpetual vows. Oftentimes when I’m asked to do a …painting, I am given photographs to aid me in the process, but this was a concept that Katie and I brainstormed together.
This watercolor was inspired by Luke 23:46 “into your hands I commit my spirit” and Jeremiah 18’s story of the potter and the clay, verses that were especially meaningful to her friend’s spiritual journey.
If you have an idea for a painting, but you’re not sure what it should look like… or you’re wanting to create a meaningful gift for a loved one but don’t have the skills to create it yourself… that’s where I come in! I’m happy to help bring your vision to life.Show More
I guess it’s not a midlife crisis 🎨😅🙃 #catholicartist #artsupplies
I have been blessed with an abundance of art supplies over the last …
I have been blessed with an abundance of art supplies over the last few weeks. First, my friend Victor gave me a bag full of canvases and paints. Then my …friend Kimberly gave me an entire trunk load of art supplies that her neighbor could no longer use. The timing was too good to be true (right after pages of prayer journal entries wondering if I’m on the right path). Many of these items had been on my art supply wishlist.
Sometimes we enter seasons of life where we have to say “no” to something (like Kimberly’s neighbor who was grieving that she could no longer paint and didn’t know what to do with her supplies), but that “no” can ultimately become someone else’s “yes.”Show More
God Knew I Needed This | A Catholic Artist’s Story
After feeling unsure about whether or not I made the right decision to …
After feeling unsure about whether or not I made the right decision to solely pursue working as a freelance artist, God came through to me in a big way.
I was …gifted boxes of acrylic paints, mediums, papers, and other supplies (many of which had been on my wish list). Everything was in really good shape as well!
I hope this video reminds you that God listens to us and wants to provide good things to us. He also blesses us when we have to say “yes” or “no.”

Painting a watercolor of a pilgrimage to the baths at Lourdes #watercolorpainting #catholicartist

Years ago, I had the honor of creating an original painting that was commissioned for Emma. She was touched by the painting her friends gifted her and reached out to …me to see if I would be available to make a painting for one of her friends. This painting is meant to be a visual and spiritual reminder of a very special trip for a young boy named Drew to the healing baths of Lourdes, France.
When Emma and I first talked, we didn’t have a concrete idea of how we wanted the final image to look, but we knew the feeling we wanted it to convey. I was watching some videos of pilgrims being lowered into the baths by the workers and I thought, “What if it was Mary and Jesus placing Drew in the bath?”
I’m so thankful that Emma worked with me to create this concept for her friend. Original pieces like this are a team effort and it’s always a good feeling when you’re on the same page with the ultimate goal of trying to make the recipient feel seen and loved.Show More

Two years ago, I prayed a St. Therese of Lisieux novena to help me discern whether or not to take on a Catholic book project. The result? A trip of …a lifetime to France during spring break ’26!
Our family traveled to Paris, France and took day trips out to Lisieux and Rouen. During our trip to Lisieux, we visited Carmel, Les Buissonets (the childhood home of St. Therese), and the Basilica of St. Therese of Lisieux. Other clips included are from our trip to Rouen to see the spot where St. Joan of Arc was burned at the stake.
The book I mention in the video is Lenten Prayer for Families by Colleen Pressprich: https://amzn.to/4hiw5B5
