Legacy Art

Custom designed, commissioned artwork that tells your story of God’s faithfulness

Start the Process >>

Raise your hand...

if you’ve ever walked into the kitchen to dethaw some chicken,

but IMMEDIATELY forgot that task as soon as your foot touched the tile.

Our memories are fickle.

… instead of remembering God’s faithfulness: when He smoothed out those details for the multi-vendor event, provided a well-timed meal through a friend, or reconciled that relationship that seemed hopeless.

As soon as our ears touch the pillow, we replay the scene of tripping into the cupcake tower at that embarrassing 6th grade birthday party …

You want to remember God’s faithfulness.

And you want good art. 

A moment so impactful that you want to remember forever and ever. 

And you especially want art that tells the story of how God sustained you, provided for you, loved you, healed you, saved you, protected you, inspired you …

Why does it matter
to be intentional with your art? 

—Jennie Allen, Get out of your head

“We have over 60,000 thoughts in one
24-hour period.”

because

If you’re anything like me, 80% of those thoughts are

"I wonder if I still have that sale email in my inbox... I really liked those shoes."

“I can’t believe he said that to me…”

"This project manager is REALLY stressing me out."

"Did I remember to brush my teeth?"

"Why did she look at me like that? Was it my hair? Or dress?"

“I hope I turned the oven off before I left…”

"I should check out AirBnB for a vacation..."

"Why hasn't she responded to my text message yet???"

"I really think Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are for real for real."

"I know I'd walk a thousand miles if I could just see you ... tonight ... "

"I wonder when my next paycheck will be deposited."

It’s difficult to remember good when there is so much bad content, messaging, and events happening around us.

Visual moments that transport our minds away from the bad… and to a story of His goodness and faithfulness. 

Thankfully, God gave us art to enjoy.

Prints and canvases will represent most but never all of you because they’re specific to that artist and his or her emotions, values, priorities, and story … and they’re mass-produced: created for general topics and stories in order to make money.

But not all art is good art.
And not all art is meant for your walls. 

An individualized approach to creating a painting of your story and God’s presence in it.

Legacy Art

The custom art package is different than anything else I offer (art prints, art collections, etc.) because it’s not meant for everyone—because God worked in your life in a very purposeful and specific way, and that can’t be replicated for everyone.

This is an investment in creating a legacy piece that not only holds the beauty + truth found in Scripture but also reminds you and everyone that gazes at it that God is present. 

In ten weeks, a watercolor painting will arrive at your doorstep—matched to your home's aesthetic with a passage meaningful to you—ready for you to display. 

Framed
to match

optional service

Mat and frame can be added to your legacy painting for an additional cost. I'll research frames that would best match your painting and aesthetic, so you have options to choose from. You'll receive the painting installed with hardwire, so the only task you have to complete is "Hang art on wall."

Your art + story workbook

A digital workbook will be created for your art, so you can share its significance with anyone who sees it. 

It's a record of the seeds planted, watered, and reaped through a conversation over an art piece, and you have lifetime access to this workbook.

Art inspired by you

custom art

We'll work together in creating a painting that you'll love for years to come. You choose the colors, style, and words—and it can match something you already own (a throw pillow, curtains, etc.). And just in case you're not into surprise... sample paintings can be created, so you have a better idea of what your legacy art will look like.

Answer the intake form. The questions help me understand what inspires you, the look of the piece, and helps flush out your idea. 

Once the questionnaire is filled out, I can create a quote specific to your project (including proofs, frames, etc.). Submit a payment, start the countdown, and get ready for those Christ-centered conversations!

Stories told & painted

Since I bought these (custom watercolor ornaments) as volunteer gifts they have journeyed to other homes. 

It's been so cool to see them on other people's trees when I visit their homes, and I have given several Christmas presents to the team and this continues to be one of the favorites. Our volunteers loved the meaning behind the ornament.

—Beth

The other pieces were to provide large reminders of God’s grace and love to us and our guests.

We knew your pieces would complement our home—ultimately ended up in our sun room where we would go to relax, read, and pray. 

—Bruce & Carmen

I've had the opportunity to share about how those specific song lyrics (and thereby the painting) have changed my life.

Everyone that enters my office is immediately attracted to it. They ask where I got it, and they are always impressed when I describe how it was a commission piece based on song lyrics ("Graves into Gardens").

—Noelle

I know there are many alternatives to custom art...

But they will always pale in comparison.

How do I know? Because I've tried them all:

You can put meaningful verses on Post-it notes
and magnets...

It only takes a week for it to start falling from your mirror, the edges to rip, the stains and dirt to discolor it… 

And then you're left with nice words in the trash. 

👋 My gross sticky notes are off my laptop, and I couldn't tell you what they once said—even though it was important and worth remembering. 

With Legacy Art, those words are varnished and protected with glass (or plexiglass), so you never become embarrassed over folded, torn, ripped, and dirty paper.

but this is a cheap and messy way to hide god's word in your heart.

$

You can find free printables or buy a print on Etsy...

But now... you have to print the art. Do you have the right paper? Enough ink? Are the printer drivers updated? Is there a spare frame around? 

Less expensive, but you're now paying with time and energy.

👋 You wouldn't be the only one with "To be framed" stacks of paper... It's not pleasant, and honestly, it stresses me out. I'll stare at the files and pieces and remember how I just don't have enough time.

I don't like being shamed by my "Not yet done" list, so let me do this for you. 

which lets you use that extra budget money on a special treat #Girlmath

You can purchase a canvas from TJ Maxx...

But how often have you done that only to become discontent with it just a few short weeks6 months later?

Because it wasn’t you. It wasn’t your story. It wasn’t personal. 

👋 Friend, I’ve got a few canvases from Kirklands that I’m excited to replace because of this exact reason. They were a short-term solution to a problem, and I’m spending more money in the long run because of it. 

Legacy Art is not only based on your story (making it personal) but it’s also inspired by God’s Word: unchanging, timeless, and always fresh and alive. God’s Word is living and active, and I promise that you’ll never get tired of the verse you chose for your painting.

which is affordable and less messy than a post-it note.

I’m Rachel, and my husband and I have spent 5 years of missions work in an urban apartment complex. Our 1,100-square-foot apartment was important to us… and the 300+ residents we served. During those years, we intentionally used every asset we had to share the Gospel, and now, I’m encouraging women to do the same with their home decor.

As a modern watercolor artist and graphic designer, I thrive in creating pieces that help women have Christ-centered conversations.

Frequently asked questions

Is it really that
serious?

yes, Because i wholeheartedly believe

if we choose to compromise with our decorations, we might miss an opportunity to share the Gospel with anyone that enters our homes.

So it’s time to stop settling.

🚫 No more 🚫 picking up canvas prints with verses that are out of context.
🚫 No more 🚫 feeling dissatisfied when you look at the walls of your home.
🚫 No more 🚫 basic prints with no story, meaning, or purpose.

You *can* have artwork that reflects the beauty + truth found in God’s Word, Friend.

Maybe I'm being dramatic...

Or maybe I recognize

that life is too short to not use every item and every opportunity to show God's unending love, undeserved mercy, and unconditional faithfulness.

You have a story that's unique to you—proof that only you can give that God is faithful and true, and it's too good to keep it to yourself, Friend.

If you're ready and excited to share your faith with others, then let's create that Legacy Art together.
