Marybeth Stafford, an illustrator of emotions, explodes with the challenge of creating images that captivate. Her viewers are drawn into a journey of discovery that helps them connect with God. Through a divine commission, painting is not only her vocation but her ministry as she trusts God to enlighten and empower her imagination with art of His heart. Marybeth's diversified methods, like layered storytelling, hidden and symbolic images, combining several mediums, and ancient texts, have resulted in a body of work that sets her apart. Always trying to find new ways to express God's creativity, Marybeth can be found in her southern California home  studio experimenting with oils, watercolor, pencil and other mediums. From the studio to collectors world wide, God has used and ministered through her work. While traveling, speaking, and selling her art, Marybeth has been blessed and honored to see the emotional impact her work evokes. She compliments this ministry with her love of teaching where she imparts

"Get over yourself. Don't take yourself too seriously, but be serious about your art."   D.T. Robbins was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana on a healthy mix of storytelling folksingers, Pentecostal cries to heaven, and the general heartache that is the south.

His influences and insight from his journey of pursuing his love of music are revelation to writers and performers alike.

Her journey of faith also began at an early age.  She became well acquainted with God at the age of 5 and hasn't looked back. "I want to be a voice in my generation that stirs revival,", Izzi says.  She is clearly on her way to continue the legacy of her mother while taking the reins to create a legacy of

Currently Kim is the Worship Assistant for adults and kids at Canyon Hills Friends Church in Yorba Linda, CA. For the last 15 years Kim has been writing songs, leading worship and working in some capacity of ministry but it was not until 2015 that she started pursuing the call God put on her life to share her songs and story with the world.   Ironically 2015 was the worst year of her life. As Kim experienced the agony of watching her Dad lose his valiant battle against pancreatic cancer and mourned the loss of a baby due to an ectopic pregnancy that nearly killed her she realized something: everyone is going to hurt but only those who have hope in Christ will heal.   "Hurt. Hope. Heal.", Kim's Debut album, will be a collection of songs birthed from the spiritual journey she has been on the last 3 years, including 2015. But don't worry, it won't be a sob fest.  "Hurt. Hope. Heal." is going to be a balanced blend of optimism, fear, anger and joy held together by melody driven songs, fresh pop sou

Caitlin Dillon is the perfect person to plan your wedding. She is relaxed and confident in her abilities, and delivers quality experience. Her coordinating business Mint & Moss is the beginning of her sweet legacy.   "I adore all things having to do with love: a good love story, well- written love song, and a rom- com that can bring me to tears. I truly believe in soul mates and all things cheesy. In 2001, only being 11 years old, I saw the movie The Wedding Planner. (If you haven't seen it, do yourself a favor and watch it today) I said to myself, "That's what I want to do with my life." After that, every time my mom would go to the grocery store, I would grab a bridal magazine to "study." I've always been a dreamer, so at a young age I thought I could do any and every job, including a dentist, missionary, and theme park designer, just to name a few. But wedding planning was the only one that stuck with me. There's nothing like taking a blank room and transforming it into something beautiful. Happin
