Crystal and father Joe look at each other
Crystal with father, Joe.

“I am small-town girl with a heart full of Grace and a head full of ideas.”

Art from the heart

This site was born as a way to share my art with the world. Each Paint With Grace creation has a little bit of my heart in it. Sometimes there are actual tears involved in the process of creating. While some pieces are just for me, you may also find some postings available for purchase.

Thoughts on things

Over the years I have realized that I have more to share with the world than just my paintings. I also cook! I am a caregiver with a family that I adore. I am a student and a public servant. I have a voice that is dying to get out of my head.

Homage to my hero

Losing my father has been one of the hardest experiences of my life. Due to the pandemic, he was not able to receive the final send off that he deserved. I want to keep his memory alive.
