Everything was dark at this time. I could be standing out in full sunshine without a cloud in the sky and still feel like I was in the middle of the blackest hole in the darkest corner of the universe. I remembered seeing art work that was digitally painted using the Procreate app and thinking it was stunningly beautiful. While I may not have been artistically gifted, I had an eye for beauty and I suddenly began to dream of creating soft, beautiful, bright and happy paintings that would be light and uplifting to not just me, but to anyone who came across my work. The verse Philippians 4:8 came across my mind which says:

“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”

This became my inspiration. I wanted to draw things that were pure and lovely… admirable and excellent. I learned that these are the things we should set our minds on regardless of our circumstances and that’s what I would set out to do. Shortly after, I purchased an Ipad, downloaded the Procreate app, and as they say, the rest is history!
