Love creating with markers on paper and Painting on pretty much Anything you can paint on! What I Love the Most, my absolute favorite is taking something someone sees as junk and turning into a wonderful treasure!
When I draw with my markers, my favorite part is when I am finished with all the colors and then I add the simple black lines and dots, making the entire character of the drawing change, the entire design just pops out!
So..... All that above is the pretty... "website way" of introducing yourself. I also have an about page on here that I talk about myself. A typical website way of explaining who and the what of Katie, the Fam and life!
Yet you really do not know why I am doing this, why is it my Passion....
When I became a "Born Again" Christian April 16, 1990 my life changed. The person I was before, well she is no longer here. When my life changed the Living God took over my heart, my life and I have never turned back. I am not perfect, nor will I or anyone will on this earth. I am on a daily walk to pursue Love so that Love is who I am, what I have and what I am able to continuously give. I Absolutely believe 100% what the Bible speaks. I believe in not only reading the word, but searching and digging into the word not only to understand it for myself, but to discover contiguous treasures that are there for Anyone who will seek to find. I believe that God set a firm foundation of truth and life, which he cannot change or divert from, even if our world has changed. I believe that God sent His Son Jesus to redeem us... By that I mean. God gave man the earth to subdue and take over, but man gave it away to the fallen one who was kicked out of the heavens because he exalted himself above the one who had created him and the existence he knew. When man gave the Kingdom God gave him to the fallen one he now is the one who reigns in the earthly realm.
God had to send his Son, Jesus to take all the sin of the world..from the beginning of time to the end of this time. After Jesus spoke "It Is Finished" he went to hell stepped on the neck of the fallen one, took back the keys to the Kingdom. God did all this because of HIS LOVE for us, for He first Loved us.
That is were we come in to our part. We must come OUT of the kingdom of darkness and into the Kingdom of Light. This is ONLY done by one way. By standing within your heart before the Living God who made Heaven and Earth, Who made you and Knew you before the beginning of time...

I am not a judge and I work not to judge. My job on this earth is to tell you the truth I have been shown and the Light I have been given. God is a God of free will, He is very much a gentleman. He will never make or force you into anything. Yet, he loves you so much he will place many different things and ways to point you to Him.. The Truth... The Light.
For those who have been hurt, judged by ones who wear the title Christian yet, clearly have not understood the truth of his words and turn his words into weapons to hurt, scar and wound... I am sorry. I pray you will not count God out or hold him accountable for the personal actions of people who have not walked in God's Greatest commandment given to all His children,.. to love And also to never, ever, ever, never, ever judge. Please forgive them and seek to find the one who loves you so much he was willing to send His son to died in agony so that He would NEVER be separated from you again.
Love... it is what I try to do and who I try to be, but I mess up too saying, and thinking unkind things. But, His mercy and grace are there, so I know I am just one "I''m sorry, Please forgive me" to be a woman after God's own heart.
And lastly.... who am I and why do I do this art?
I am a daughter of a King, I am for His Kingdom, therefore I am about my Father's Business.
My art has changed and grown just as I have changed and grown. I use it as I am lead. There are days I have no desire to do anything creative and then there are days I have so many ideas I don't feel I have the time or energy to complete all I desire to do! I use to want so much within my art for me, now I just what what God has called it too. My hope is one day to Always and Only be inspired by ideas from God, not looking at what is here, what has been seen, but to pull from the heavenly treasuries new witty inventions, ideas, concepts and heavenly pictures that use the colors and shapes to speak, bless and complement the Words Power and His words written with the piece confirm the art and speaks its meaning and direction.... Loud and Clear!!
