"Their Stories"

Emerging from layers of lavender and shadow, the women in this painting carry the weight of history and the glory of redemption. Each figure whispers a story—of sorrow endured, courage chosen, and identity reclaimed.

They are Esther, who rose from orphan to queen and risked everything for her people.
They are Ruth, who clung to covenant and found unexpected favor in foreign fields.
They are Mary Magdalene, Tamar, the Samaritan woman, and the unnamed ones—women who bore rejection, injustice, and silence, yet encountered the gaze of the One who truly saw them.

These women reflect the journey of all who have walked through the fire and emerged refined. Their stories testify to:

• Faithfulness in seasons of waiting

• Discovery of divine purpose

• Courage to walk in identity, even when the world says otherwise

This painting is not just art—it is an altar. A visual remembrance of the women God used to shape His story, and the invitation for us to step into ours.
