Guiding Light Art & Woodcraft

Your Purchase Becomes Part of His Story—Bringing Hope and Beauty to the World

From a young age, I’ve been passionate about art in all its forms—sketching, painting, photography, stained glass, and woodworking, to name just a few. Creating and working with my hands has always been my way of connecting with the world around me. My greatest inspiration comes from the beauty of nature: the sunrises, sunsets, majestic mountains, serene lakes, flowing streams, and the wonders of wildlife. I thrive when I have the creative freedom to explore these inspirations.

Like many of us, I lost sight of my dreams and passions amidst life’s many distractions and demands. It wasn't until I looked back after turning 50 that I realized just how quickly my most precious commodity—time—had passed. In my early twenties, I dreamed of making a positive impact on the world, improving the lives of those who suffer, and leaving behind a meaningful legacy. As the sand continues to flow through the hourglass, I’ve learned that I can do nothing without God’s grace. Now, I no longer seek to leave a personal legacy but to share His grace with others.

Art is a universal language that brings joy and evokes emotions in all who experience it. This belief led me to create Guiding Light Art & Woodcraft. This brand exists to design and offer gallery-quality pieces crafted with the finest pigments, paints, wood, and resin—art that brings beauty and joy to homes, businesses, and collectors alike. We cater to a wide range of budgets and tastes, so everyone can find something they love.

To make art accessible and lasting, I also digitize my original artworks to create stylish fashion and home decor items. This approach helps me slow the passage of time in my own way—allowing good works to reach more people without sacrificing quality.

With customizable options, efficient shipping, and an easy-to-use website, I strive to help you find your next showpiece or a unique gift for a loved one. If you find something you like but wish it were in a different color or size, don’t hesitate to ask—customization is always an option.

Guiding Light Art & Woodcraft exists not only to glamorize your space but also to touch the lives of the broken and lost, sharing hope through creativity and beauty.
