Breakthrough Collection
Meet the Artist.
Living in the foothills of Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains, I draw inspiration from the horses I work with every day. Their strength, dignity, and quiet beauty have become the canvas through which I tell stories of faith, hope, perseverance, and redemption.
Every piece begins with a message before it ever becomes a drawing.
I strive to create artwork that stirs something deeper—pieces that remind us of God’s faithfulness, encourage us to trust Him through the unknown, and point toward the beauty He can bring from even the darkest seasons.
Working almost exclusively in charcoal, I embrace both its depth and its simplicity. Charcoal allows light to emerge from darkness in a way that mirrors the stories behind my work. Every highlight is intentional, every shadow has purpose, and every drawing reflects a lesson God has been teaching me.
Thank you for allowing me to share that journey with you.
The Inspiration.
Breakthrough was born from a season of learning to trust God completely. It came from choosing to step forward in faith, even when I couldn’t see what was ahead. After He had already brought me out of so much darkness, I knew I could trust Him to keep leading me, even into the unknown. When I saw the photo inspiration taken by Lori Ann Thwing, I knew I had to draw it.
This drawing is an expression of that trust. It represents breaking free from what is familiar and taking that first step into the unknown—not with fear, but with confidence. It is choosing to walk forward with my head held high, my heart full of joy, and complete confidence that God is already preparing the path before me.
For me, Breakthrough is a reminder that faith doesn’t require us to see the destination. It simply asks us to trust the One who does.
