Have you Noticed?
It is a prayer-filled journey. A commissioner would communicate their hope to Kate and she takes it and prays with it, asking the Lord to guide and inspire the image. He is the main artist. Once receiving from the Holy Spirit, sketches are created to propose several options to choose from. From there, real models are used to actualize the chosen composition and the final work is painted in oil paints on a fine linen canvas. Kate consistently communicates with each commissioner and continues to pray throughout, making it a process that is ultimately lead by the Holy Spirit.
What is the Process like?
Commission Kate to Create A Sacred Painting
1. You see the deep value of Sacred Beauty not just in your own life but for evangelizing our world.
2. You are looking to invest in a work of art that is truly sacred and high-quality to last for generations to come, versus just want something quick/ for decoration.
3. You have an open heart to how the Holy Spirit works through Kate’s skills to portray your theme. This is key in the process as it truly is a collaboration of; The Lord, Kate, and you. This means you may have an idea of how it will look but you are open to seeing how it will flesh out uniquely after you share it with Kate and she prays with it.
4. You already love the work Kate has created and the style in which she works!
5. You are someone with a general theme/idea on your heart and are open to sharing the why behind that theme (what it means to you). From there, you are open to Kate composing the work through much prayer and contemplation.
6. You seek to have this artwork to be used for prayer in your church or prayer space, as a further means of encountering the Lord and to share His love with others.

This painting certainly holds the power of raising our minds and hearts to God. I receive great joy also in knowing many prayers went into creating this painting. What makes Kate’s work that much more magnificent is the fact that it’s the fruit of her own prayer. It’s not just art, it truly is sacred art.

I knew what I wanted to say or show in the painting but had no idea of how to actually express it. It was as if God was the mediator between myself and Kate, allowing her to understand and interpret what I wanted through her art. I’ve never experienced something like it in my life.

I had a very clear picture in my mind of this scene from scripture that was very important to me. Working with Kate to bring it to life was a dream come true. It was so evident that Kate infuses her talent and professionalism with a very deep prayer life and inspiration from the Holy Spirit. I struggled to find the right words to convey the vision I had for this, but she asked the Holy Spirit to guide her and when she showed me the image, I was immediately (and involuntarily!) moved to tears. She nailed it - it was exactly as it was in my head. The final painting turned out just as I had imagined and it brings so much joy to see it every day. We are already dreaming up the next thing to work with Kate on. She is a delightful person and wonderful to work with.

This was our first experience commissioning art and Kate made the process simple and seamless! We truly appreciated the time and prayer that she put into each step of the creative process because it resulted in a true and beautiful devotional that will be in our home for years to come.

This Process may not be a good fit for you if...
If you are already set on the exact composition or want a precise replica of what is in your mind or in a photo/another painting you have seen, it may not be a good fit as this limits Kate’s creative skills and can even cross over to copyright infringement. While Kate is happy to see
