Ann YoungerAnn, since she was a young girl, has had a passion for art. A self taught artist, she is always ready to try new possibilities, techniques and the most unique tools in her paintings and assemblages. Her confidence in creating comes not from her own ailities and talent, but it comes from an attitude that allows the painting or assemblage to become what it is supposed to be. There are no mistakes as she often reminds herself, "it's just paint." She worships and prays the Lord to download in her heart His messages. These messages become pieces of art and intentional writings, trusting Him for the outpouring. She uses a heart and hands-on approach to her work, praying over each one and believing that each piece that is created is divinely inspired for a specific someone, and begins each blank canvas with a prayer or Scripture written on the canvas. The idea of writing an intentional book came from time spent with God as she created art works of various mediums. Combining 52 written devotionals with accompanying paintings, she inspires the readers to journey through the seasons and seek the very heart of God. Ann dedicated decades teaching art to children 4-13 and now she sells her artwork in several boutiques and gift shops in Texas as a means to provide financial support for several local, national and international missionaries. "That truth is my focus as I worship my Creator and paint and then stand in awe of what He does through me! I'm so humbled and honored that God allows me to create for Him.' - Ann Read More Read Less
