My God-Given gift has always been a part of my life; but my passion for art began when I gave my Mom my first drawing when I was 4 yrs old. Since then I was hooked. I loved making cards for people, not just for the fun of it , but because of the smile it put on their face, & a bit of joy in their day. But, I only started to think seriously about selling art when I was 12 yrs of age. It gave me a sense of fulfillment, purpose, & joy when I was doing what I do best whilst showing my loved ones how much I care. As a Christian, I knew God gave me this gift for a reason, & I wished to Glorify Him through my art by reaching out to people so that they may know God's Love & Free Salvation. But, at the time, & for a while afterwards, I wasn't so keen on sharing everything in my life with Christ, including the earthly glory I received. About a year or two ago, I was spending time in prayer & in His Word seeking for peace in my life, & a title for my store. As I read in the Psalms, He began to speak to my heart, that He is my fulfillment, that He loves me just as I am, & that He is my fortress in all of the storms of my life. As I worshiped Him & prayed, it suddenly came to me. The word "in-tri-cate" came to my mind. Quickly I researched the meaning, of the word. "Delicate, Detailed".It was perfect. Esp. since I try to hide a spider web in my drawings, to represent how amazing our world is. Even though some people may look at a Spider's web & think of death & all things nasty; but it simply isn't true. I believe the Web of the Spider is one of the most Beautiful examples of God's Creation, a perfect example how truly Intricate life is. I was curious though about the spacing between "in-tri-cate", so, looked it up in Latin. "in" as in into, tri as in three, & "cate" as in perplexity. Triune is a derivative of tri, so "God-in-perplexity", or, "in-God-perplexity". So hidden in the title, is how I wish to honor God, by letting Him be the center of my life, & my art.
