Why I created this space

I’m so glad you're here, and I don't think that is an accident! Some things are written in the stars. This is a place where art, faith, and reflection meet, where creativity becomes communion, and reflection leads to renewal.

I created this soul-centered space to encourage and inspire women toward deeper intimacy with Jesus through honest storytelling, contemplative art, and spiritual formation. I pray it is a restful sanctuary for your soul, inviting you to slow down, dwell with the Lord, and experience a deep encounter with Him.

What is The Lovely Crux?

The Lovely Crux is a sacred, members-only space right here inside Art + Soul for deeper spiritual communion, creative renewal, and shared prayer. It’s a refuge for the soul and a fellowship of Believers continually seeking God’s presence and believing that both the broken and the beautiful bring transformation.
