Today I'm introducing someone special...my artist hero you might say. A mixed media artist who not only does beautiful work, but who does work that truly speaks to me. This woman has an amazing story of how she started from nothing and grew to become the famous artist she is today. Her story inspired me so much that I bought and read her book AND her e-book...both of which, I couldn't get my eyes off of. This beautiful woman is...Kelly Rae Roberts!
The Lord truly uses her artwork to speak to me in such a way that I've never encountered before. I don't know what Kelly Rae Roberts' faith is like, but I believe that God is using her artwork for His glory...to speak things from His heart. Not every single piece speaks this intensely to me but there's always that one that makes me stop...dead in my tracks...and stare. Or that one that makes my heart leap because of the truth that it's speaking. There was even one that made me cry...literally cry. Because in a moment of doubting myself, doubting the very dream that makes me come alive (I shared about it in my first blog post), in that moment, God used one of her pieces to say exactly what I needed to hear in order for me to keep on going and continue running this race.
There are so many pictures I wish I could add to my post today to show off how absolutely gorgeous Kelly Rae Roberts' artwork is but unfortunately, she doesn't know me (I just know that one day she will though!!!) and I can't bring myself to share her pictures on my blog without asking her permission. BUT, I did link her name above to her beautiful website so please please please, go check her out!! Read her story, look through some of her artwork. You will not be disappointed.
I have 11 days left to open up my Etsy account and make a Facebook page for my creative business...eeek!!! Again, thank you for joining me along this adventure of mine...I've truly enjoyed having you here :) Have a great next few days!!
Go find someone who inspires you...tell them thanks :)
Bekah, you are also an inspiration to many out there (including me, Brian). I love to see how you are stepping out into the unknown and following your heart's desire and dream only placed there by our loving Father. You are brilliant and amazing and BEAUTIFUL! Love you, Bekah.
