Featured in an artists’ collaboration worship series, this painting is an outpouring of response to Psalm 139. You can read the full artist statement here.

The entirety of Psalm 139 is written in calligraphy and composes a person’s silhouette, incorporating the idea of His Word abiding within us. While I originally thought I should use our daughters’ silhouettes, the Holy Spirit gently redirected me and led me to use my own silhouette as a continuation of my healing journey with Him. It is a demonstration of His character: Personal. Vulnerable. Intimate.

I spent hours pouring over this particular piece in the quiet, being reminded of our Good Father’s care for us and His kind Omnipresence in the midst of my desire to hide. It is only by the Spirit, and His hemming in behind and before me, that I’ve been able to experience true freedom. The headdress of beauty is represented in this piece as a floral crown and symbolizes the crown of beauty Christ adorns us with in Isaiah 61.

My hope is that anyone can look at this piece and imagine themself. My hope is that YOU see this silhouette, and know that this is what God declares about you too.

This print is a reproduction of an original hand painted and hand lettered watercolor created by Whitney Todd. It is printed on thick museum-quality matte paper.
