About The Artist

Anthe — Artist, Instructor & Founder of Gallery Studio 103

I have been creating for as long as I can remember — and I believe that’s exactly how God designed me.
It started with cardboard. As a little girl, I couldn’t wait for my father’s laundered shirts to arrive — not because of the shirts, but because of the crisp cardboard inserts tucked inside. Those blank rectangles were my first canvases. While other kids followed paint-by-number instructions, I was mixing colors, ignoring the lines, and letting my imagination pour onto every surface I could find. Joy was the point. Creation was the calling.

My creativity has never been confined to one form. I grew up singing and dancing — expressing something deep that words alone couldn’t hold. That same spirit flows through my paintings today. Whether I’m working in bold acrylics, luminous watercolors, or mixed media, every piece carries movement, energy, and meaning.

My mission is clear: to create distinctive art that spreads joy and honors God Almighty — for every person who views it and everyone who owns it. I work in what I call a prophetic flow — translating divine inspiration into visual language. Scripture moves through me onto the canvas. God’s creations — the animals, the landscapes, the living world — come alive in my work as a tribute to the One who made them.

At Gallery Studio 103, I get to live out every dimension of that calling. I paint. I teach. I mentor. Watching a student discover their own creative voice — that moment of breakthrough and delight — fills me just as much as finishing a piece of my own. Art was never meant to be solitary. It’s a gift to be shared.

I’m thrilled to announce that I have a new place to create and share my work in Gallery Studio 103 ! You’ll now find us nestled in the charming Fairways Trade Village at 6230 Shirley Street #103 — a warm, welcoming space perfectly suited for art, inspiration, and community. Come explore the gallery, take a class, and experience the joy of creativity in person.

I truly believe God made me an artist so I can share His beauty with the world. If my work stirs something in you — a moment of wonder, a smile, a sense of peace — then it has done exactly what it was made to do.
