About
The love of my life is Jesus Christ and His Word. I want to glorify Him in everything I do – including my hobbies. I’ve loved drawing and painting since I was a young child. I use to sit and paint with my Granny (who was a great artist) for hours at her kitchen table when I was a child. I get my creativity from my Granny and my Father (my heavenly Father – the ultimate Creator!). Sometime around the end of high school I stopped drawing/painting, but continued using the creativity in me in other ways. The summer of 2006, for some reason, I picked the paintbrush back up and found a long lost love. I think I love it this time around even more because I’m trying to use it for the glory of my wonderful Savior. I love reading the Word, studying the Word, teaching the Word, and painting the Word of God. I pray as you look through this site it will stir-up in you a love for His precious and powerful Word!

Your love for the Word is very obvious!! I often pray for your passion. You have really changed my life and my love of his word through hours of teaching and discipleship. Thank you for investing in me!!
Well, Tracy, you are very kind!!! You are a dear friend and I have loved our time together in the Word.
I like your blog Sandy,, very thoughtful
This is fantastic! What a beautiful expression of two things you love! I look forward to visiting often!
Thank you Julie! Who knew I would be blogging???
Sandi
Sandi,
Phenomenal! I knew from our conversations that you had been painting, but WOW! They are BEAUTIFUL, and they are everything that I know your heart desires them to be – amazing artistic expressions of His wondrous Word. Well done good and faithful servant! I must say there are a few on there that really speak to me – like, I’d buy them if they were in a store! What are you doing with all those beautiful paintings anyway? I look forward to seeing and reading more.
love you,
Tiffany
Sandi…I finally found your website…and I am thrilled to see your artwork!! It was so good to finally meet you…and to see Grady again after all these years. I hope that we can stay in touch and that the family can be closer now…I have missed seeing them. Distance is not a good thing in families!!!
Have a really blessed week

your paintings are beautiful and inspirational. what a blessing and joy to be able to use your talent to glorify your Father in Heaven! i love just looking at all your creations. very unique. very peaceful.
Thank you Angel!
Wow! These are incredible! Knowing that you have been on your face before God for the last several years, I can see clearly that God is pouring out Himself through your paintings with His WORD!!!!! How Beautiful!
Gail, your constant encouragement to me over the years means so much to me. God always brings you into my life for a ‘Word’ at just the right time. I love you dear sister in Christ!
Me thinks little Sandi needs to take some grand old advice from a quote she used I think somewhere, sometime in her life before!
“…the greatest joy in God comes from giving his gifts away, not in hoarding them for ourselves. It is good to work and have. It is better to work and have in order to give. God’s glory shines more brightly when he satisfies us in times of loss than when he provides for us in times of plenty. The health, wealth, and prosperity “gospel” swallows up the beauty of Christ in the beauty of his gifts and turns the gifts into idols. The world is not impressed when Christians get rich and say thanks to God. They are impressed when God is so satisfying that we give our riches away for Christ’s sake and count it gain.”
SHARE YOUR PAINTINGS!!!!!! They are from God! LOL.
Love ya girl!
You’re killing me Gail :)! You’re always good at giving me a good kick in the behind!
God is just using me as your thorny reminder! LOL! He is God and, guess what Sandi, He made you capable of HIS PURPOSES! Go fishing girlfriend! Love you too sister!

Oh Sherri, thank you! Thank you for taking time to look at the blog too!
Sandi,
Are you going to sale any of your paintings on-line? I was visiting Linda Hunley this past weekend and saw one that you had done. I really liked it.
Sincerely,
Karen Harber
Hi Karen, I’m not selling them on-line right now. I’m hoping to have another sale sometime this year – at least that’s what I’m shooting for – it may be next spring though. I start school back this fall and have a very heavy load so I’ll just have to see how many new paintings I get done and how much time I have to get ready for another sale. Thank you for your interest though. Are you close enough with Linda for her to let you know when I have another sale or would you like me to put you on my e-mail list to let you know about sales? Thanks for taking the time to visit!
Hi Sandi,
A friend of mine sent me your website and what an inspiration. I am going to share it with my covenant sisters at church. I hope you don’t mind. You have been gifted by God so please keep sharing.
Blessings,
Sherrie Sorrells
Hi Sherrie, thanks for checking out my blog. I would love for you to pass it on and share it!!! Thank you for the very sweet comments!
Wow sandy I have not stopped by your blog in a while, it looks like you have been busy. Keep up the good work!
Thank you – I have been busy Michael!!! Michael, you are cracking me up – you are basically my brother – you should know how to spell my name :). Love you!
Hi, Sandi! I came across your website after reading comments you posted on the LPM blog for Beth Moore. I was blown away by your beautiful artwork! What a gift from God!
I live in Bolivia, where I work with South America Mission. Today, I’ve been researching some African countries, as I have been asked to speak on the topic of world missions to a group of about 75 Bolivian children. Bolivia itself is a financially poor country, in the midst of great strife, violence and uprising, but they don’t know sometimes how very much they have available to GIVE to others, too.
Anyway, I loved that you were doing missions paintings, and wanted to say thanks for that, and for every prayer you pray for your loved ones who are missionaries. Wow, we need the prayers of people who love us–crying out to God on our behalf and on behalf of the precious countries we work in. Thanks for that.
Keep up the painting–it’s lovely!
I was really blessed by your comments – thank you for taking time to look around and for leaving such sweet comments. I’ve been to Brazil on a mission trip and my husband has been there several times – so we’ve been close to where you live! So neat to hear from you. I’ll be praying for you – especially has you prepare to speak to those children. Thank you for sharing a little about your work. Our hearts are near and dear to mission work and the nations. Thanks again for stopping by J. – Please keep in touch!
Well, just thought I’d publicly say how much I enjoyed your class today. I think we all learned alot. I hope you have managed to regain your normal speaking voice!! I look forward to the following 5 weeks. Oh yes, I’ll be working on my color charts everyday until next Weds. Thanks for all the encouragement.
Dawn B.
Well Dawn thank you SO much!!! That sure is encouraging! It was SO good to see you again and I’m just thrilled you are in the class. Yes, my voice got back to normal :). Can’t wait until next week!!!
Hi, i love ur blog..
Im from Indonesia. I like ur painting so much.
Thank you Danang! Wow – Indonesia!!! How did you come across my blog? Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment!
Sandi, sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you. your site is awesome and paintings are amazing. it was great to see you the other day and catch up for a bit. as i told you the other day, you have no idea how happy it makes me to know that my mom will have another friendly face to visit her. it really means a lot to me and i thank you. i cant wait to see Cooper in person.
Hey Chet – great to hear from you! Hope you get this reply. Thanks for your kind comments about my art and blog. I visited with your mom last week and she seems to be doing good. She sat with us when I read the bible and we chatted some. I’m praying for you guys – I know this isn’t easy with your mom.
The Bible is a powerful tool. It’s refreshing to know that there are others too, out there, using the internet to reach potentially global audiences for God.
Keep the race up. (See Hebrews 12:1-3),

Hi Sandi,
Your blog is beautiful and I love your artwork. I was searching for ideas for a mural that I’m supposed to do in a clinic that our church runs. We have a free clinic for residents of our county who can’t afford healthcare and dental care. We are building a new building and I offered t paint something decorative in the pediatric/women’s exam room and in a children’s reading area. Do you have any ideas for bible verses or words with some simple artwork? They want something like stripes with words. Just thought maybe you’d have come across something that would be nice. Also, we could do words in different languages. Keep up the great work.
Do you sell your work? You could sell it in poster form on a site like Zazzle. I’d love to buy alot of the things you show in your blog!
Thanks!
Just want to thank you for loving Jesus and using your talents to bless Him and us.
Thank you Joanna!!!
Sandy, this is Nicole Brashear. I miss you. I love your work. Please email. I would love to see you.
