The name Graced Acres is born from the years I spent living in an off-grid cabin, on a 40 acre plot, alone, in the middle of the Mark Twain National Forest.

It was a time of learning, growth, reflection, study, scriptural meditation, building, breaking and art making.

Mostly it was a time of intense healing and preparation.

During that time, I learned that I could build food plots, raise a flock of 30 chickens, chop tons of wood, build a chicken coop, forage for wild food, and spend exorbitant time alone in the wilderness without going completely berserk.

Most importantly and ironically, in solitude, I learned much about what True Love really means.

You’ll find these ramblings about Love on my Academy page.

Since, I’ve moved back to “civilization”, but there are times I miss it.

Even though I don’t know God’s Will, I do know that God led me back for a purpose. Now in the process of completing a degree, my goal is to more effectively help those who are hurting, by the use of art, through the Love of The Creator.

So, what’s this website about?

The main goal of this website is to serve as a testimony to the unwavering Love, steadfast Forgiveness, abundant Mercy, and perfect Holiness of God, the Creator of all things.

It also serves to showcase the creative gifts that I’ve been given by God, as an artist, and my continued pursuit to glorify my Creator through these gifts.

“Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.” John 14:23

I hope this website blesses anyone who stumbles upon it. God willing, I hope to encourage anyone who’s struggling with doubt, complacency, shame or indifference.

Moreover, I to wish to minister Hope to anyone who feels alone, rejected, stuck, unforgivable, or just plain curious.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

John 3:16-21
