“What is the end of all of this ‘STUFF’?” — I ask myself. It seems almost every morning of every day as I awake (in the traditional sense of becoming aWOKEned with my coffee and such)–when I briefly browse Facebook–I see memes and statements that seem to be inviting others to “something” that are being written in a new Christianese. Welcome to the “brave, new world” that is slowly infiltrating the Church of which Jesus-followers must now navigate. But first,...

“Eileen- Let me set the stage….Camping at a beautiful mountain lake with my pregnant wife, young girls and dogs on the day and time we were married 10 years ago. We had a meal of hard caught trout then I gave her the present. Since these words had a lot of meaning to us, there were tears all around. Very great moment for our family. Thank you for your hard work, artistry and time creating a piece that went beyond $...

“Hi Eileen: Just a brief note to thank you once again for the beautiful painting. I did want to let you know that I presented it to my daughter for her birthday and she loved it. She immediately cried and asked how I did that. We put it on display on an easel at her wedding right near the table of place cards when guests entered the room. Everyone loved it. My daughter looked gorgeous, everything went smoothly, and everyone...

Eileen Slifer

I am a visual artist who works in a variety of mediums - producing fine art, illustration and design commissions/products for clients. I have been creating since childhood and sharing my giftings for hire since 1989. I also love to write and have been expressing in this way for a number of years in private poems, stories and journals that have been shared with treasured friends or publicly. Thank you for visiting my blog. I value the time and interest you spend on my expressions, and I read every comment.
