Christian Children's Book Illustrator

by Breana
(Glendale, Arizona, USA)

God Honoring Art

Hello! My name is Breana. I can do several types of art, including cartoon type drawings (such as the kind found in children's story books), acrylic paintings, black and white pencil drawings, colored pencil drawings, pen sketches, charcoal sketches, and pencil sketches. I also do realistic still life very well.

My favorite medium to work with is acrylic paints. I use light and shadow to bring out dimensions in my work. I enjoy creating whimsical scenes. I can also create, fun, bold, colorful pictures and realistic still-life.

Previous experience includes illustrating The Greatest Treasure and art on magazine covers.

I will not do illustrations for any book that is against my morals. I will only use my artwork for projects that honor God.

My rates are budget-friendly :) and my prices are negotiable on a project to project basis.

Artist on fire for Jesus

by Lisa Marie Mueller
(GrandFalls, Newfoundland, Canada)

Artist on fire for Jesus

Lisa Mueller has an extensive background in teaching visual arts as well as plenty of experience through her own life as a self-employed artist.

Lisa started four years of her formal education through a renowned Newfoundland artist, Christopher Pete. She later applied and was accepted into the Ontario College of Art and Design and finished her education at Memorial University of Newfoundland in Corner Brook. She has been recognized as a water-colourist, selling several of her paintings to the Canadian government as well as showcasing her work in galleries across Newfoundland.

She is also known for her sculpture work and has received much publicity through the eight foot tree carving of a pulp and paper mill-worker that she was commissioned to do for the city of Corner Brook, Newfoundland. Lisa has several qualifications which can offer the kind of experience and training that is beneficial to others.

While established in Peterborough Ontario, she began a large art gallery called Mueller’s Unit 8 on 280 Perry Street which soon became an experience of a life time as she was able to work along side many talented artists. She draws her inspiration from her faith in Jesus.

Artist Statement

Should I call myself an artist? What does it mean to be an artist? Does it mean that I paint? That I draw? That I create? Is it a lifestyle? A way of thinking? A trend? A hobby? Maybe it is all of the above. What I truly am is a silly girl. One my friends say has more imagination than common sense at times. I am a girl who gets distracted by thought after thought and I can lose myself in every aspect of my surroundings. I dream big and sometimes forget to think out all the little steps to get to where I want to go. I want to conquer everything, every idea, every dream, every exploration.

I adore every aspect of painting; the feel of a paintbrush between my fingers, the fresh smell of my watercolors, the crispness of a new canvas or paper, my pencil crayons, thousands of colors to express any moment, thought, feeling, the excitement of being inspired. All these things make up who I am - what I crave.

Not much makes me happier than having the opportunity to interact with others by creating something that is special to them. A small glimpse into the window of another’s life can show so much. It’s truly amazing to paint a precious moment in a child’s life and have it recorded for a parent to re-live each day. This is what makes me happy. This is my life.

I love people. To me, we are all family, and I feel blessed to have the chance to offer a painting, a moment, an experience that others can cherish for always. I was born with the gift to draw and paint, and it is exactly that - a gift! A gift from God, my father, my all. God has blessed my life in more ways than I even realize. I have moments where I take it for granted or even abuse it. Everything I have, everything I am, every talent, everything good, pure and beautiful is because of Him. I feel that it is my duty, my calling, my responsibility to share with you the gifts He has enriched my life with.

With much love,
Lisa xo
