A SMIDGE MORE ABOUT ME
SIMPLICITY
Thank you for wanting to know a little more about me. I enjoy simplicity, rare moments of solitude, goofy jokes, nature walks, word games, reading, cooking, eating a yummy ribeye steak, spending quality time with others, and listening to birds chirping. I try to live a quiet life in a digitally and physically loud world.
INSPIRATION
Nature, the details often overlooked in our surroundings, black and white visual art, the simplicity in how children live and explore the world, and beautifully written prose are some of the things that inspire me in my life and guide how I approach my artworks.
PURPOSE
My existence is rooted in my faith. I'm deeply grateful to be saved by grace and growing in my relationship with my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who is the source of my hope, purpose, and strength. I'm also a wife and homeschooling mom; two roles the Lord has used to bless and refine me. Despite the trials in life, I'm grateful for God’s generous mercy, steadfast love, and comforting promises. I'm in awe of God's creation and feel honored to be able to capture some of it in my creative work.
ONLINE
This is a place where I'm thankful to be able to share and document some of my creative efforts, and to be a small part of the digital world. May you find beauty in the simplicity of your daily life.
With sincerity,
Saroum
