Sitting in the Shadows

Since the birth of this site, I have received many emails that offered wonderful insight on the personal challenges of being a Christian visual artist. It would be simply too time consuming to upload them all.

However, here is a small sampling of comments from visitors about Christian Artist Resource.

"Oh, God bless you for developing this site! The Lord led me here. I have been struggling with my God-given call of being an artist -at times trying to push it down and then on the other hand, almost fearing what would come out, if I had the chance to pursue all the ideas the Lord had given me to minister using art! Thanks again." Erika W

"I am having difficulty writing to "define" what it is we do, that God has given us. This website is helping. I thank God for your hearing Him." Michael R


"Thank you and bless you for this site!! I have been an artist for many years. About five months ago, the Lord spoke to me in a dream and said "paint" - I've never painted, always used other media. This past year has been one of extreme struggle for me personally as I move closer to my destiny - Praise God for the freedom!! So I thank you for your testimony - I feel as though the Lord led me to it. I have had major breakthroughs in my life, and now this is the next step for me bringing me closer to my destiny." Maria N

"I have been in a downward spiral of procrastination and started searching the web for prayers to help me overcome this negative state as a person and an artist. Then I came to your web page and I want to thank you ever so graciously, for what you are doing and have done. It was like totally what I needed. Thank you for sharing w/us all and putting your ideas out there. You are a brave and beautiful spirit. Thank you, thank you. I am still trapped right now but I am going to do my best to meditate and pray. The power of prayer is such a blessing from God." Angelena U



I am grateful to these, and countless other friends I've made since this website went live. Your comments, correction and encouragement are always gratefully received.

I know that presenting our challenges and triumphs in a open forum can contribute greatly to edifying one another.

So if you have a question to ask or a comment to offer about the site, this is where you can do it. It is easy to do! Your comments will be available to everyone to read. They will be invaluable to both me, and the other visitors, of this site.

If, however, you wish your comments to remain private and not published, please contact me directly.

I look forward to your feedback.
