Please Excuse Work in Progress…

Artist • Author • Creative Founder
Creating beauty that helps people slow down, notice what is often overlooked, and cultivate lives rooted in faith, wonder, and peace.
Hi, I'm Jennifer.
I believe beauty has a way of slowing us down long enough to notice what God has been saying all along.
Whether I'm creating original paintings, writing encouragement, or gathering women around a table through Blooms by Jesus, everything I create begins with the same desire—to help people cultivate lives rooted in faith, wonder, and peace.
I'm so glad you're here.

Vessel Collection
Beauty gathered. Grace carried.
The Vessel Collection celebrates florals arranged in vessels—vases, watering cans, crocks, pitchers, and treasured containers. Each painting is a quiet reminder that beauty is often held in ordinary places and that every life has the capacity to carry something meaningful.
Covered in Grace
Inspired by the well-worn painting hat that has become a quiet symbol of my creative journey.
Paint-splattered and marked by countless hours in the studio, my painting hat reminds me that beauty is often created through layers, practice, and grace. This collection celebrates the creative life—the places we make, gather, grow, and become. Some paintings feature the hat itself, while others are inspired by the quiet rhythm of creating, tending, and noticing the beauty God places in
Layer by Layer
Abstract paintings exploring beauty through process.
Built through transparent layers, expressive marks, texture, and movement, these contemporary abstracts reflect the quiet work of becoming. Every layer contributes to the whole, reminding us that growth, healing, creativity, and faith are rarely instantaneous—they unfold over time. These paintings invite each viewer to discover their own story within the layers.
Among the Wildflowers
Where beauty grows freely.
Open meadows, blooming fields, rolling landscapes, and peaceful horizons invite you to wander slowly and notice beauty that cannot be rushed. These paintings celebrate the quiet places where wonder grows naturally.
Walk With Me
Every path has something to teach us.
Garden paths, winding trails, gates, and quiet roads remind us that beauty is often found one faithful step at a time. This collection celebrates the journey and the invitation to keep walking with hope and curiosity.
Daisy Collection
Simple joy never goes out of season.
Inspired by one of my favorite flowers, these paintings celebrate cheerful blooms, childlike wonder, and the beauty found in uncomplicated moments. Daisies have a way of making us smile, reminding us to embrace joy, hope, and the quiet delight woven into everyday life.
Garden Notes
Small paintings. Quiet observations. Everyday beauty.
These intimate works are gathered from moments in the studio and the garden—small originals that capture fleeting inspiration, color, and light. Like handwritten notes tucked inside a journal, each painting preserves a moment worth remembering.
Featured Original
Beauty Takes Time
Original Acrylic
A reminder that growth rarely happens overnight. Layer by layer, beauty unfolds.
STUDIO JOURNAL
Every painting begins long before the first brushstroke.
Sometimes with an open Bible.
Sometimes with flowers gathered from the garden.
Sometimes with coffee that has gone cold.
These photographs are glimpses into the quiet rhythms that shape my work before a painting ever reaches the wall.
Welcome to a space designed for ideas that move people. With a focus on quality, clarity, and connection, we're here to help you make an impact that lasts.
Things I Notice
These are small reminders that often become the beginning of a painting.
The coffee is almost always cold by the second layer.
Fresh flowers have become some of my favorite teachers.
Some of my favorite colors happen by accident.
I paint best when the room grows quiet.
Creation has never rushed me.
Not every sketch becomes a painting.
My hands rarely leave the studio clean.
Every layer teaches me patience.
The brush often knows where to go before I do.
Beauty is usually found in what most people walk past.
That actually feels even more like reading a journal than attaching captions to each image.
Gentle Friday Note
This is not about doing more.
It’s about tending what matters.
You are welcome here.
Thankful!
Whether you're collecting original artwork, following along with new collections, or simply looking for a moment to breathe, I'm grateful you're here.
I hope these paintings remind you that beauty often grows slowly, quietly, and always with purpose.
