There’s a moment in every painting where everything slows. It’s not when the composition is finished or when the final highlights are placed—but somewhere in between. When the layers begin to speak to one another. When the chaos of underpainting settles into something intentional. That’s where the work becomes more than paint. That’s where stillness blooms. My process is layered—acrylics, inks, mark-making, sometimes fragments of scripture written so small they almost disappe

There’s a holy kind of beauty in watching a new collection unfold. For months, my studio has been filled with warm light, desert colors, and whispered prayers as I shaped a series that feels deeply personal. Today, I’m excited to take you behind the scenes of my newest mixed-media oil collection, Radiant —featuring Radiant Becoming , Desert Horizon , Desert Radiance , Peonies Reverie , and Garden in the Desert . This collection grew out of a longing for God’s light—His steady

The Essence of "Blush and Blooms" There’s something timeless and tender about the gentle blush of a blooming peony. “Blush and Blooms,” my latest commission, captures that very feeling — softness, grace, and quiet joy — on a grand 36x72 inch canvas. This piece was created as a custom request, with the vision of bringing warmth and elegance to a serene living space. A Floral Composition of Warmth The result is an expansive floral composition, filled with layers of soft pinks,

By Ellen, Artist & Creator at White Bird Design Co.- October 2025 One of my favorite parts of being an artist is connecting with people in person—sharing stories, hearing which pieces speak to them, and watching someone light up when they find just the right print or painting for their home. That’s why I love doing art shows… even though prepping for them is a  huge job! With each show, there’s a beautiful (and sometimes chaotic) behind-the-scenes process that takes weeks of

By Ellen, Artist & Creator at White Bird Design Co.- June 2025 Every painting I create carries a part of my heart. But there’s one piece that continues to speak to me in such a quiet, powerful way— Graceful Serenity. This original painting feels like a deep breath. Soft florals flow across the canvas in calming hues, layered with purpose and peace. As I painted Graceful Serenity , I found myself slowing down, praying through each brushstroke, and reflecting on what it means t

By Ellen, Artist & Creator at White Bird Design Co. As an artist, my hands may be the ones holding the brush—but my heart knows the true Creator behind every color, every bloom, and every finished piece is God Himself. People often ask where I find inspiration, and my honest answer is: it starts in prayer and in the Word. Before I ever choose a color palette or sketch out a floral composition, I spend time asking the Lord to lead my work. I ask that each painting would reflec

Art is not just a decoration; it is a powerful expression of emotion, a reflection of our innermost thoughts, and a celebration of creativity. Imagine walking into a room and being greeted by a stunning original acrylic painting that speaks to your soul. Each brushstroke tells a story, each color evokes a feeling, and each piece transforms a space into something extraordinary. At WhiteBird, I believe that art should be accessible to everyone, and that is why I offer a breatht
