Sinopsis

They say that change doesn’t happen overnight…but my friend Anne Ashton would respectfully disagree!  Anne’s introduction to the art world is unlike almost anybody else’s I’ve ever encountered. No spoilers…but let’s just say that the Lord transformed her into an artist basically overnight!  Everything in Anne’s artistic life comes from following what the Lord is guiding her to do.  Learning how to paint, moving from realism to abstract art, getting her paintings in shows and shops nearby… all at God’s instruction.  Now she’s following God’s lead to teach painting to everybody from corporate groups to vulnerable members of society like unwed teen mothers.  And some of her most amazing stories come from her art ministry to prisoners, encouraging them to express themselves in media from graffiti to finger paints.  Her outreach is really making a difference in people’s lives in all walks of life, and I think her story may very well inspire you to do the same.  You can see more about Anne on her website, Instagram
