This workshop has been a breakthrough for me

Hello reader,

it has been a long time since I send out my last newsletter. So I try to catch up with what has happened. This is kinda the translation of my last German newsletter of Easter. Let's go!

Successful Zoom Workshop on Prophetic Art

I am part of a christian network of creatives all over the german speaking countries in Europe. Most of the time we are meeting online via Zoom as we are spread all over. From time to time we held workshops were people share things with what they are good at.

In February I had the opportunity to hold a two-part workshop via Zoom about my prophetic art within this creative group. Until now, I've always have been hesitant to give drawing courses because I never knew how to convey my art to perhaps untalented participants. Therefore, it was a test run for me to see how I could present my art and whether I could manage to create a picture together with the participants in a foreseeable time. We had good interaction and exchange in both workshops.

My prayer at the end of the first part in particular had a special impact on one participant. She really felt the power of God and had a new desire to work with colored pencils. What was crucial for me was that we were able to finish the picture together in the second part of the workshop and end the evening in 1.5 hours. I thought the results were so good that I now want to offer my workshop publicly as a next step. Initially via Zoom, but in the next step also on site.

"Creatio - Kunst, die lebt" - Network of christian creatives in Europe

Wonderful trip to Tuscany with the creative group

Spirit-filled Creatio weekend in Mosbach

I have just returned from a moving weekend with my creative group “Creatio – Art that Lives”. In the weekend before Easter 26 participants gathered at the OM Guesthouse in Mosbach for a creative weekend.

It was so special, so spirit-filled, profound and inspiring. So great to get to know all the great brothers and sisters in person that we have only known via Zoom. The praise was so special, we started straight away with singing in tongues. So many received release, healing and deliverance.

In the workshops we were challenged to take new paths. More details in a blog post soon.

Cartoon: Zebedee by The Chosen

At the beginning of January the wonderful MEHR conference (a faith and prayer festival with around 10.000 people) finally took place again in Augsburg. Here Nick Shakour was able to share his moving testimony. He plays Zebedee in the TV series THE CHOSEN.

Since there was an opportunity to meet the actor afterwards, I made a cartoon of his character to get an autograph. More on my blog (with lots of photos).

Be sure to watch his touching testimony too, which I embedded also in the article (it is also in English). click

Several commissioned paintings completed with wonderful testimonies

I've been able to complete a few commissioned paintings since the last newsletter. It was so much fun praying for the images and implementing them. I was particularly pleased by the moving feedback from my clients.

I'll pick out some feedback:

Special drawing: The fighting bride

A few weeks ago I had the honor of taking part in a special day of prayer in Altenhohenau Monastery at “Fathers House for all Nations” together with the Munich Prayer House.

This day was organized by several prayer houses. Our contribution was centered about the Bride of Christ. That's why I created this picture that day.
