Artist Spotlight

I am blessed to have so many talented friends in my life and I felt like I needed to let everyone know about their awesomeness!

1. Casey Wortman

I know Casey from my church and this girl literally has a heart of gold! She is so sweet and caring and would go out of her way to help anyone in need. In just the short time I've known her, she has displayed on many occasions the heart of Jesus. We both love coffee and Jesus. She helps me want to help others. I love the simplicity but depth of meaning of her paintings. I can't wait to make many more memories with you my friend!

She does not currently have a website but would be willing to sell any paintings she does. She only paints as it comes to her, but I'm sure she would take orders if you would be interested.

2. Lexy Wages

This is another one of my church friends and fellow Liberty graduates. We also share a love of coffee and Jesus as well as psychology. She also has one of the purest hearts I know and wants to help others who struggle in drug and alcohol addiction. I love how her paintings seem to come alive off the canvas.

Unfortunately due to her work, she is a very busy person and is unable to take any orders for paintings, but if she decides to sell any artwork, I will be sure to let y'all know.

3. Kristin Ruple

This girl was one of my students and she is also my sister's best friend. She has a unique ability to instantly light up any room she walks into. She is one of the sweetest people I know and we also share a love of music and singing. She would always come to my room when I was teaching and talk Jesus stuff. She has a variety of talents from painting to vinyl designs including T-shirts and car decals. These are just a few of the many things she can do. If you would be interested in any of her work, check her out on Facebook at "Exodus 35:35" (www.facebook.com/Exoduss35.35).

4. Mindi Oaten

I met this wonderful woman through my mother-in-law and a ministry called Time to Revive. While we aren't as close as I am to the others on this page, I just couldn't not tell the world about the amazing talent she possesses. She normally paints prophetically during the evening services of the Revive mission trips, but for the last 2 years she has been painting through each of the books of the Bible. She would read each book and then paint what the Lord gave her. She has such a knack for creating extremely life-like paintings.

This first painting is from her Bible collection and is a representation of the book of Titus.

If you love this, you can find it here.

These next two are her favorites currently. The first is called "The Hummingbird Pause" with a description of how this idea came to her here. The second is called "Rest in the Promise" and the description as well as place to order is here.

If you love these, you need to check out her website where you can order prints of some of her many different paintings done through Revive as well as the ones from her Bible collection. You can also sign up for her Collector's Club to be one of the first to see and receive new paintings before anyone else!
