Be The Light By: Vashti Graham Artist Description: This artwork is a reminder to be the light and to reach hearts, even those who may not think or believe the same way. It’s a reminder that love and kindness transcend differences. Light doesn’t choose where to shine; it simply shines, offering warmth and hope to all who see it. When I first got this canvas, I broke it while trying to fit it into my car. As time went on, I was so upset about it. I hadn’t even started painting

Still I Will Trust By: Vashti Graham Artist Description: The Bible never says that good people will have an easy life. In fact, it teaches the opposite: faithful people can suffer deeply, but their suffering is never pointless. Bad things happen to good people because the world is broken; not because God is absent. The story of Job explains this. Good people still face hard things, but God never leaves them and He can bring something good out of their worst moments.  Job (pro

Threads of Purpose (Every color and struggle in Joseph's life was woven together by God's plan.) Painting by: Vashti Graham Quilting and artistic touch by: Sondra Hamilton Artists' Description: The coat of many colors wasn’t just a fancy garment; it symbolized favor, distinction, and calling.
