Introducing Colleen's Art to Lift the Heart!
Colleen is a Literary Artist because her passion is creating art that lifts the heart by weaving timeless truth through scripture's message in fresh, contemporary ways. Inspired by acrostic presentations found in the original Hebrew scriptures, Colleen employs a contemporary acrostic technique by arranging a vertical message or name through God's WORD. Her CrossWORD Inspirations™ framed wall art was introduced to the Christian Bookseller market, and general market Spring 2007 through Carpentree, Inc.
