Hi everyone! Thank you so much for checking out our website, and welcome to a new and exciting part of my Christian walk. I am always amazed at how God continues to form and shape me into the woman He wants me to be. I am also grateful that He is not finished yet.

This website contains paintings that have been inspired by spiritual experiences and people throughout my life and are now being brought to life on canvas. This site was set-up for me as a gift from my incredible husband, Steve, so I could have a creative release in my life. As I mentioned before, God has surrounded me with many wonderful people that play a big part in my journey and I would like to acknowledge them now.

First and foremost, Lord, thank you for your faithfulness and choosing my Mom for me. Her examples of love, sacrifice, and obedience to your will are the reason I am writing this today. Mom, thank you for loving me and nurturing me in such a spiritual way. My prayer is that if I become even half of the woman, wife, mother, sister, and friend that you were to so many people, I can do "something wonderful for the world". Without your example, Mom, I would not have the faith and hope that has helps me grow through the many struggles and joys in my life. That, I could not do without.

To my family back home, Rose, Karen, Joe, Mary Beth, Laura, Glenn, and Tim, thank you for loving, supporting, and encouraging me to be everything I could be. Dad, thank you for working so hard and providing for us then and now.

To the Allgeyer family, thank you for welcoming me and helping me enjoy life through laughter. I have been very blessed to have another set of parents who continually remind me of the importance of family. Mom and Pop Allgeyer, thank you for the faith and love in each other that created my husband, Steve. Through him and your openness to God, I am able to feel the presence of my mom in a very real way.

To our dear friends who laugh, cry, and rejoice with us in our everyday journey, thank you for sharing your life with Steve and I.

Last, but certainly not least, Steve, I do not want to know who and where I would be if you had not begun to fight for me so long ago. You are and always have been my warrior, fighting for the faith, hope, and love that our family can rely on. You are my best friend, my lover, my warrior, and my life. To you I dedicate the work the Lord is doing through me. Without you, I would not be able to experience the true joy of life. Thank you for challenging me, making me laugh when I needed to, and growing old with me through the incredible life God has in store for us. I would not want to be anywhere else than with you. I LOVE YOU!

All my love,
