Build houses and settle down; plant gardens and eat what they produce. Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper." Jeremiah 29

"We are a community of artists, from young and emerging to established, seeking to wrestle with the deep questions of art, faith and culture. We hope to inspire this generation to engage the current culture, creating the world that ought to be through movements of innovative people who truly follow the Creator."

Hope is defined as the feeling of expectation and the dream for something to happen. My name has inspired a life-long creative search for joy, beauty, adventure, color, community, and connection. I am passionate about art, hospitality and sharing God's abundant love with others. I have the unique opportunity to continue to partner with God's heart for artists through part-time work with Transform Arts. My faith compels me to shine light on darkness and guide my generation’s feet in the path of peace. Through photography, poetry and social engagement I aim to visually and poetically represent the intersection of art, faith and life. 


Art transforms lives and unites us in Christ through restoring beauty in God’s Kingdom here and in the not yet. We work to encourage a spirit of confidence in artists by investing in personal Artistic, Spiritual, Leadership Training, and Civic Compassion, allowing art to transform and impact society  and culture where the gospel is not widely proclaimed or spoken of.

Through your prayers and generous partnership I am able to daily celebrate artists, cultivate community and walk alongside creatives in their field and spiritual journey. Home cooked meals, studio visits, coffee and meaningful conversations are avenues to be a refuge for the spiritually curious and creative community in the Bay Area and beyond. My husband Peter (also an artist!) and I continue to cultivate connections with artists Europe after I have spent four years serving with Agapé Art and receiving a Masters in Fine Art from La Sorbonne in Paris. I would love to invite you into this opportunity to partner with me to bring Christ to artists all over the world where the gospel is not widely proclaimed. Would you prayerfully consider giving a special gift or joining my monthly ministry team to continue this creative and adventurous work of introducing artists to their Creator? I am thrilled to have you on my team and can't wait to see what God has next on this grand adventure. Thank you for being a patron of the arts!
