MINISTRY OF PAINTING
Hello! I am Letisha Brown and I was born an artist. I have always had a desire to create art from a very young age. From elementary school until I graduated high school I have always been motivated to draw. With that motivation I won numerous art shows throughout grade school.
It wasn't until I started college that I realized I was a natural painter, which I immediately fell in love with. My favorite art medium to paint with was acrylics on canvas. From the time I picked up the paintbrushes, I realized I was already familiar with expressing myself through painting. I was born with it. To me that is the most essential element in art.....expressions. Art is not just a beautiful piece of work, but it is means of communication.
During my years in college I entered numerous art shows and won numerous awards and scholarships. So I currently have an Associates degree in art from Gulf Coast Community College.
The thing that pondered me most was what to do with this talent of painting. I knew of the more typical careers in art, but I wanted to use my art to communicate, to express myself. I encountered a few people along the way that enlightened me and even some who tried to discouraged me. I had some who tried to urge me to change my subject matter and techniques in paintings so that it would appeal to more viewers (in other words paintings they thought would sell more). That was not my goal. So I sat aside my passion for a great period of time. I just needed to figure out what path I needed to take.
As I began to mature, I found my answer through the one who created me and gave me this awesome gift......GOD. As I began to love God and develop a relationship with him, more things started to open up to me. I began to understand more. I knew now why I was born with the gift of painting. He gave me this gift to use for His kingdom, not just to satisfy flesh of man, and not to sit down on and not use. My painting is a ministry. When my art speaks, it should speak healing, deliverance, love, liberty.......LIFE. God created me, Letisha Brown, with an awesome tool and an unique ministry. Now it's clear to me......He has created us all with many different gifts. Some may seem big and some small, but we all were created with a purpose. Use your gift don't waste it.
