My Story:
I spent 30 years of my life as an atheist, 15 years of that in the New Age Spirituality movement, before giving my life to Jesus Christ in July of 2024. My new focus is growing closer to God and sharing the joy of the Lord with the world. God saved me from a long-term abusive relationship with a narcissist, addiction, New Age witchcraft, and an overall apathetic attitude towards life, to name a few things.
No matter what you've done and who you think you are, God is the great Redeemer and welcomes all of His children home. I want to share God's transformative Love with the world, as it has helped me find purpose in my own life.
As for my Art Journey:
I love art in all its forms. I love writing and doodling. I believe that coloring is a beneficially meditative process and an outlet for creative expression at any age. Coloring and drawing have helped me find my passion in life again by slowing down and getting creative with colors and innovative designs. I create coloring books because that is what has helped me find happiness in my life, and I desire everyone in the world to feel as good as I do. Coloring is simple. Sharing is simple. Life doesn't have to be hard or messy.
Find your passion, find your truth, and live it. Live for you as you love what you do.

7 Random Facts about Me
1. I love cats. I'd be a crazy cat lady if I liked cleaning more than one litter box though....that keeps me sane! Two cats/One box is my limit. As a child I collected everything cat related. I even made collages out of cat photos from magazines and calendars.
2. Final Fantasy video games have been my bread and butter since I was a kid. My all time favorite is FFIX and I am really into FFX now. I love the story lines and the underlying themes of consciousness that I now realize are there.
3. I'm a bread and potato girl. I could live on those two food groups but my body would say I need to add some fruit and other veggies in there...but what does it know?
4. I used to draw maps and create worlds as a little kid. I would name every town, forest, mountain, lake, nation, etc. At that age I didn't know who Tolkien was or other authors who create these intense worlds and draw maps to follow their adventures. This may have been the preamble for my writing career and imagination in general.
5. I love science fiction and fantasy. I love a good book, movie or video game along those lines. I also have a very active imagination and am always going on my own adventures in my dreams.
6. I have fallen in love with making Zentangle-inspired coloring books. It is a calming activity that I love sharing with the world as well. I started art as a personal meditation but it's been fun to share it with the world as well.
7. In July of 2024 I read the Bible for the first time and gave my life to Jesus. It's been a humbling and spiritually-awakening journey moreso than the 15 years in the New Age spirituality movement. I did not realize how much witchcraft I was participating in and desire to save others from occult practices. I can't wait to share more about the Love of God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and how the Word has changed my life for the better.

Discovering who we are and what we are here to do is a process and a journey. As I discover more about who I am and what I love to do, I find myself sharing more and more different kinds of things as I learn and grow on my personal journey.
Check back often for updates, new projects, and lots of fun stuff. Thank you for checking out my stuff. If it resonates with you, awesome! If not, that is awesome too! Find the truth and live it... I believe that is what we are here to do above all else. Much Love, Elizabeth |
