A few words about this collection

This collection is made up of moments of prayer, surrender, and play that I pursued in the presence of God even in the midst of a very tough year with persistent chronic illness and mental health battles. This work is also evidence to me that God is present, still working his wonders, even when it seems like I am struggling just to put one foot in front of the other.

I hope you experience small moments of joy as you browse this collection of small paintings with me. 

I'm grateful for your presence (and also, for many of you, your prayers!) on my journey. Your support of my practice means the world.
​
-Kelly

 A note about shipping: If the combined shipping seems high, I will refund you the difference if you have been overcharged by more than a few dollars. I'm double checking shipping on every order. Remember that every order is totally different and I am doing the best I can to streamline the process, but Square shopping has limitations on custom shipping options for shop owners. If you have concerns about shipping, feel free to reach out.

​If you are ordering larger items, especially paintings on canvas, and you live in the KC metro, I have pickup available in downtown KC!
