In Feburary of 2000, I was diagnosed with a severe case of  'Bells Palsy' after the right side of my face lost feeling. Soon after I was given a blessing in which I was counseled to begin using my art for the gospel. After much prayer and scripture study, I felt inspired to paint a series on "Women of Inspiration". These painting were all created in the hopes of uplifting and inspiring us to be as these women were and are - strong in their faith BEFORE the trials came.  Each painting was prayed about & researched to be as historically correct as possible. Many more paintings have followed and can be seen below. Some originals are available for purchase, and most have affordable prints. A few other paintings are included on this page because of their religious content as well.
