Annette | Artist, Graphic Designer
Living and working in North Idaho provides powerful inspiration. I see God's touch at work in the majestic surroundings and the blessings of life lived among my family. Through art, I hope to portray these captured moments of time in watercolor.
Philosophia Perennis-Divine Inspiration
Philosophia Perennis - Divine Inspiration is the most recent watercolor in Annette's Nimbus series.
"Like good stewards of the manifold grace of God, serve one another with whatever gift each of you has received." 1 Peter 4:10
Divine Inspiration: Those moments of grace when you are captured by an image, thought, feeling, an idea glimpsed. God-given and fleeting made real, given shape and form through creativity, courage and vulnerability. Courage to trust. Courage to act. Vulnerability to share. These sparks travel quickly, and keep moving until taken by one with courage and creativity. This painting has multiple symbols from areas I’ve studied and absorbed. - - Annette

"We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to God’s purpose." - - Romans 8:28
From Christ’s Passion (the red ground) comes all new growth. The heart of Christ is at the center of the cross. Focus Words from the 2026 Lenten Devotional are included in the nimbus designs. These words, these calls to action direct us towards our response to Christ’s passion, our New Life. - - Annette
Living Water
"Let everyone who is thirsty come. Let anyone who wishes take the water of life as a gift." - - Revelation 22:17b
"I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give water as a gift from the spring of the water of life." - - Revelation 21:6
"Out of the believer’s heart shall flow rivers of living water." - - John 7:38b
I and the Father Are One
"The Father and I are One."
- - John 10:30 - -
In this painting, fire and Wisdom are represented at the top. The nimbus is Trinitarian, boldly arising out of the darkness. Air, earth and water descend below. All is One.

Seek
"From there you will seek the LORD your God, and you will find him if you search after him with all your heart and soul."
- - Deuteronomy 4:29
Seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened, ask and you will receive. Trust in your journey of faith, no matter how circuitous it seems. - - Annette

Your Word
"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light
to my path." - - Psalm 119:105
Old stained glass windows, letting the light in both literally and figuratively. Free to behold and accessible to all, stained glass windows have inspired for centuries the path of righteous living. In earlier times, they provided illumination to masses of people unable to read. The colorful stories shared the Bible news in an easy and splendid visual format.
