Welcome, friend!
I am so glad you are here.
Maybe this moment is your gentle reminder to pause, breathe, and see the beauty that God has placed in everyday life — even in ordinary moments.
Through my art, I hope to capture those fleeting glimpses of hope, grace, and quiet wonder that surround us.
In the rush of our busy lives and the challenges we face, it’s easy to become so hyper-focused on the details that we lose sight of the bigger picture — the beauty, clarity, and gift of the present moment that God has placed before us.
If you’re walking through a difficult season, may you be encouraged to lift your eyes and see God’s beauty in the small things and all around you — in the rustling leaves, the blue sky, every sunrise, every color, and even the storm that brings life-giving rain. Every cloud has a silver lining.
“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.” — Romans 8:28
You are seen.
You are loved.
You are part of something beautiful.
“This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” — Psalm 118:24
My hope is that each painting becomes a quiet reminder of God’s presence — a pause for gratitude, peace, love, and joy in the moment.
When your heart is ready, I invite you to explore that beauty through my art — each piece a celebration of God’s creation through awe, wonder, delight, and love.
With gratitude and grace,
—Amy Boardman
May this moment remind you that you are never too busy, too late, or too far to pause and see God’s goodness.
