The Little Blessings Project

The Little Blessings Project

This project was a way for me to connect and support the world around me as we all endure these trying times together. I feel very strongly that the act of creation and art itself has a tremendous healing power for the artist and for the viewer. The evidence of art and creative expression is vital to any thriving community and is an indicator of a healthy community – the kind of place that is likely to be loved and admired.

The premise of the project was to create a “little blessing” painting for each person that requested one for either themselves, another person, a community, or an organization. The act of creating each little blessing was also an intentional act of healing/prayer for the requestor and the recipient of the Little Blessing. This in-intern also created healing within myself, hence the full circle spectrum of light - the rainbow- that encircles each painting. 
This project allowed me to see that art and community really do need each other. Artists have the ability to create what the community needs to uplift, heal, connect, and grow and like-wise the community has the ability to do the same for artists! It’s a beautiful exchange love that reveals how we are all connected.

The initial project was a wonderful success which resulted in a total of 40 requestor/recipients and 20 Little Blessing fine art prints mailed out across the country! It kept me quite busy in a very grateful way for some time!

It’s possible that I may open-up another Little Blessing Project on Instagram in the near future, I invite you to follow me on Instagram if you would like to be part of it!

This project has sparked in interest in doing more community-based projects that connect us to each other and our common humanity.

To those of you that participated in the project~ Thank you so much!
I hope you all enjoy this collection of Little Blessings!
Love to you All,
