Choose Love Today

I grew up surrounded by a lot of lies. Wow, dramatic. But it’s true, and this is almost everyone’s reality. We are raised with misinformation from TV, peers, even mentors because not everyone has it completely correct all the time. So a lot of adulthood means humbly recognizing that you may have bought into a…

In Perfect Sync

These beautiful whales are blind. The world for them is dark, and maybe even quiet. Yet they both know where they’re going. And they’re going there together. I’d like to think they know they’re swimming with a partner and spend their days thinking not just about their destination, but also about each other. I think…

Small Whale, Big Feels

For one person, this drop of water is miniscule and won’t be missed. For the whale, it’s his everything. This is something I’ve struggled with my whole life if I could be honest for a second. Accepting people’s different realities when it comes to forming bonds. For some people, I’m a whale in their life—I…

Loved With An Everlasting Love

When I think about the phrase “everlasting love,” it feels very abstract. But sitting in those words for a few moments, I realize that God isn’t just showing off His literary skills. He’s saying something very important. Everlasting is limitless. It lasts forever. Everything we know on earth comes to an end; it’s one of…

The Wave

I had the honor of growing up in the Caribbean. And that means I spent hours on the beach every weekend. Each Saturday meant taking initiative on certain important chores with the express purpose of bribing daddy to take us to the beach. For us, it was a long drive, and he was always more…

Floating Windmill

It’s been a long time since I’ve let my mind wander. Strange for a creative right? For me, almost every time I pause to reflect on something, I get stressed out by the past (it’s something I’m working on). Usually, it’s some part of my family dynamic that causes me to grieve. Or an embarrassing…

Be Just, Merciful and Brave

Things pretty much feel like a steaming ball of chaos right now. We all see it. We all feel it. And it’s not making us particularly optimistic about the future. But what’s our response to it? It can feel dangerous to seek justice, be brave and be merciful when it seems like everyone’s emotions and…

The First Flamingo

I picked up watercolor to paint this flamingo. This flamingo can be anything, do anything, encapsulate any idea based on the way I mix the colors, draw my lines, create shapes, transparency levels… And I love that. The countless other flamingos created by The Couple That Crafts all feel and look different, and mean different…

Baby Brooklynd

My first dog’s name was Sydney and she was built like a machine. German Shepherd/Rottweiler mix, and man was she beautiful. Her first night at home, she cried all night – so loud the neighbour complained. But after that, she never cried again. Even when she gave birth. Even when she got cancer. I wouldn’t…

Bridget’s Sunrise

When I sat down to create this, I didn’t realize how long it would take, nor how much effort I’d have to invest. Okay, I get it, sometimes people bite off more than they can chew, but that wasn’t the case. I knew I could do it, but halfway into it, I grew weary and…

I Am Rooted, But I Flow

I took this piece to work with me one day and posted it at my desk. Part of me wanted to simply display my art. Another side wanted a sale. But there must have been a more visceral urge that drove me to stick it to one of my monitors that day, because my eyes…

The Mingling of Souls

I love the fact that Phil and I are in an intercultural relationship. And for a single reason: we’re always learning. Okay, I’m biased, I’m a learner so this invigorates me. I love finding out new things about Phil’s Mexican + Irish heritage while he learns about my Grenadian idiosyncrasies one by one. Is it…

Even The Wind And Waves Obey Him…

Matthew 8:27: “The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!” But that’s the thing, He isn’t just a man. It’s insane to me that the apostles stood in Jesus’ presence—and at some point they didn’t understand who they were with. To think, fullness…

Waiting On The Lord

Our dear friend, John, bought the first rendering of this art piece. We were happy to talk to him about his vision, listen to his story and make his vision a reality. And as challenging as it was to create, we still thoroughly enjoyed the process. But I don’t think we really understood what it…

Head In The Clouds

Every Sunday, I would go to church then eat the lunch daddy cooked for us. Often, it would be an elaborate spread of baked chicken, callaloo, rice, a pie of some sort and provision. The house would smell amazing. All the windows and doors would be open so the scent flowed freely through the house,…

The Summit

Climbing a mountain signifies a spiritual or mental “rising” or improvement. Well dang, that’s been life so far in Washington state! I can’t stress how tough it’s been for us since packing up our stuff and dog and driving across the country from Texas. We’re both social creatures, but Phil’s an extrovert, I’m an introvert….
