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!
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

The first thing out of my dad’s mouth when he saw the finished portrait was, “I thought you were supposed to make me look good.” 😂😏 Sounds about right.
But let’s …be real for a moment… A woman is born and raised in California and a man is born and raised in South Dakota. Years later at Hughes Aircraft, the woman drops her work badge in the parking lot, the man finds it and returns it to her, they eventually start dating, get engaged, get married, have children, let their oldest child pursue her dream of becoming an artist in a world that thinks creating things is the most impractical job on the planet, and that child paints them a watercolor portrait celebrating 41 years of marriage. Thanks for dropping your badge, Mom.
