I received a copy of this book for free in exchange for an honest and thoughtful review.
This vivid and mindful book is a beautiful reflection of the author’s artistic interpretation of the Psalms and a celebration of positivity and faith.
Sharing how each verse has influenced and inspired the author’s art, readers are able to witness the heartfelt fruits of her labor. These mixed-media paintings whimsically convey the Bible’s poetry into moving and poetic artistry. Her ability to combine the words of the Psalms into richly diverse paintings will certainly inspire your own considerations of what these powerful verses mean to you on a personal level.
The author’s thoughts and artwork will speak to your heart, making this an excellent selection for a coffee table book or other conversation piece. In fact, my children certainly enjoyed leafing through it to see all the “pretty pictures.” As they get older however, I can see my family using this as a way to engage in our own thoughtful discussions on what inspires us and how we can represent that appreciation through our own unique abilities.
A graceful and deeply personal devotional that is captivating in its details.

I started painting early on in life, but it wasn’t until a few years ago that I connected my love of art with the appreciation I had for the Psalms. The Psalms tell the story of God’s love in a different way than the other books of the Bible do and speaks directly to the heart. Combining the beauty in the words of the Psalms with art seemed like a long-overdue project for me.
The Psalms have influenced my art in many ways and in this book I share some of my favorite paintings and the emotion behind them. I have included verses that stood out to me and sometimes I’ve painted the image that the words call up for me while other times I’ve highlighted the words in the painting. It is my hope that this collection of art and my reflections bless and inspire you.
