See How the First Four Paintings of "Abide" are Turning Out

I’ve decided to name my new collection “Abide”, inspired from John 15:4:

Here’s how the first four paintings are doing so far (in a moment of inspiration, I actually ended up using some spray paint on a few of them, which was super fun!) :

I would LOVE to hear which one you like the best so far and why! Reply to this email and let me know!

Christmas Giveaway Paintings are Now Titled!

I’ve been holding off giving these two names for a while because I just haven’t felt it was the right time.

But this morning, I felt called to name them and so I’d like to share with you the titles:

✨ “#1: “Dawn of Grace” 
✨ #2": “Everlasting Dawn” 

Both were inspired by the solemnity of dying to self, and being filled with the Holy Spirit as as are then alive in Christ — stepping into that light, freedom, and transformation. They hold so much meaning for me, and I’m hopeful that they will bless someone else’s home this Christmas season.

A FINAL reminder if you haven’t yet, REPLY and let me know if you’d like to be entered in the giveaway! Your name will be entered 3 TIMES as a thank you for being part of this community.

As always, a very genuine THANK YOU for following along on this journey with me — through the experiments, the hours in the studio, and the stories behind each new piece.

I’m so grateful you’re here.

Warmly,
Martina
