Erin Leigh is a mixed media collage artist, meaning she uses paper, paint, pastels, markers, and anything she can find basically to create. She combines rich texture and color with quotes and scripture that encourage. The result is pretty amazing. I have fallen in love with her work—as has my 9 year old who really wants me to buy her one of Erin Leigh’s original pieces. Apparently, she’s developed her own desire for original art, so cultured she is.

Erin Leigh told me –

The orphan crisis weighs heavy on my heart. We are not in a place to adopt right now, so I love that i can be a part of this in some small way. . . . I’ve always seen adoption on this earth as a beautiful metaphor for the life that we have been given in Christ . . . We are sons and daughters of the king. We’ve been saved and adopted by our God, and it is impossible to read God’s word and not hear his heart for the fatherless, for the orphan, for the least of these. I am in awe of the families who open their hearts and homes to God’s little ones. I am thrilled to be able to use the gifts that God has given me to help bring even one of these children home, just as I have been called home, through his grace.

I’m so pumped to have Erin partner with us for the third year. Order one (or two or three) prints or an original piece of art (before Ashlyn convinces me to) to encourage you daily in your own home. I think you need one encouraging you daily like I have where I like to sit and read with mug in hand.
