Pencil Sketch, 2018, "Sweet Mama" 

Welcome!

My name is Gail Ruth Peterson. I hope you feel as warm a welcome here as you would if you came to visit my home because it's all an extension of my life and passion.

I'm a storyteller. 

Sometimes, I tell a story in a painting or sketch, sometimes in the written or spoken word. I tell stories about God--who He says He is, what He does/has done, and all the ways He's shown up in my life and the lives of loved ones over the years. 

 

I'm an artist.

After decades of wanting to create art like my grandparents, miraculously, I saw what Christ can do in us when we are open and ready. In 2013, I started painting and selling art. Since then, I've taught countless art classes and painted murals throughout the USA and Nigeria. 

I'm a writer.

I've always loved writing, but it wasn't until my first husband died that I discovered its healing power. Writing helps me reflect, think, explore, and organize my thoughts. I like to put these reflections and stories of what God's done in my life on paper to bless many who might take the time to read. Writing is both healing and the most creative thing I do.

 

I'm an encourager. 

My greatest passion is for others to experience the relationship He desires each of us to have with Him. The day I came to know my Heavenly Father transformed my life forever. His love and grace have poured out every gift and talent I have today.

A Call to Worship

There's nothing more peaceful than losing yourself in creativity. Whether painting, drawing, writing, or any other art, it serves everyone somehow. 

God made humankind to worship Him in our lives. Worship happens through many activities, including expressions of creativity. For this reason, I am mindful to bring the focus back to God in my work. He is, after all, the Great Creator and the One who gives us talents.
