McArthur Krishna interviewed me over at the Seeking Heavenly Mother blog about I Have a Mother There, the painting I did for A Girl’s Guide to Heavenly Mother.

A Girl’s Guide to Heavenly Mother
I’m happy to announce that I have a painting included in a new book: A Girl’s Guide to Heavenly Mother, by McArthur Krishna and Bethany Brady Spalding — they did the lovely Girls Who Choose God series with Deseret Book. Here’s my piece, on the theme that Heavenly Mother helped prepare us for our earthly existence:

Shoulder to the Wheel II
With Sacred Shapes, I wanted to have some new art along with the old, so people in the area who’ve already seen everything online would have a reason to go in person. This is one of the three new pieces. Newish, actually. It’s a reworking of Shoulder to the Wheel, which I felt would work better in a wintertime setting. So, with 100% more snow:
I should note, too, that I’ve tweaked this one a bit beyond what’s in the exhibit (adding more snow, mainly).
I completely forgot to post this earlier: back in November/December, I made a family prayer piece for a Center for Latter-day Saint Arts coloring book:

I was commissioned recently to do cover artwork for a new magazine, the Work + Wonder Collective. The first issue (coming in February) is about the Restoration of the gospel, and this is the cover:
