The Journey of following Her Calling To Be An Artist with Amy Kavelaris | Ep 48

Are you an artist by heart but doubt if you could ever really make a career out of it? Maybe you’re creative and would love to get paid to make things, but it doesn’t feel like it’s important. 

In this episode, we are talking with Amy Kavelaris about her journey of following her calling to be an artist and how she uses her art to not only follow her calling to be a present mom but also to share the love of Jesus with families everywhere.

Even if you’re not an artist, Amy’s story of following God at each step of her journey will motivate you to keep seeking God and following Him - even when you can’t see where it’s leading. 

As a mom of 3 little ones, an artist, and an author, Amy talks about how she manages to get it all done while still prioritizing her kids. 

I know you're going to love hearing all the nuggets of wisdom Amy has to offer, and I hope you'll be inspired by her story of following God one step at a time to end up using her love of art to do His work. 

 

Amy Kavelaris Bio

Amy is an artist, designer and entrepreneur who has been capturing nature’s beauty since she was old enough to hold a pencil. Captivated most by the study of light, Kavelaris vividly recalls sketching and writing poetry while sitting in a tree overlooking a lake as a child. Now her work can be spotted in Target, Walmart, Anthropologie, Altar’d State, Better Home & Gardens as well as in homes around the globe. She has collaborated with countless brands, including Skechers Shoes and Pampers Diapers, and served as a judge for the Miss America Foundation. Her impressionistic, bohemian style merges with her painterly whimsy. 

 

Kavelaris’ painting style for children is showcased on every page of her latest book Good Morning, Little One: New Mercies and Prayers to Carry You Through the Day — whimsical & playful with a touch of bohemian elements that invites viewers into a charming and delightfully elegant experience.

 

Amy and her husband live in the Midwest with their three small girls.
