September 2022 Art Update
Happy Fall Y’all!
Whewsh! The first month transitioning into my full time art career has come to a close! I haven’t painted this much since college so it has certainly come with learning curves.
Retreat
The Holy Family’s Return to Nazareth by Kate Marin in Atchison, KS
Though tempted to hit the ground running my first week going full time, I decided to give it to God. I created a retreat for myself to sleep, pray, visit beautiful places, and prepare for the new chapter of my life.
Mountain Mural
Brooke wanted to make sure her son had a bedroom mural that captured his love for the mountains (and S Mountain in Salida, CO!) and inspired him to continue pursuing art.
We came up with this simple line art design and on the day of, I was inspired to break up the lines to look more sketchy.
I was able to finish right before Noah came home from school and as you can see, he was pleased!
Our Lady of Perpetual Help
Adam has been living with his brother and sister-in-law for the past year and wanted to commission a special painting for them.
The icon of Our Lady of Perpetual Help has had a special place in their hearts so I used the original as a guideline for a more realistic take! I can’t wait for them to see this in time for their baby due in October.

Holy Name Triptychs - Studies
The Holy Name project is chugging along! I finished these two small scaled paintings to show the parish what the finals will look like.
