My Creative Journey





It’s been a while since my last post—and a lot has happened since I became Mrs. Reinhart. But today’s update isn’t about life changes; it’s simply to document where I am in my creative journey.

I think it was around June or July 2023 when I started diving into art and crafts on a daily basis. I’ve been learning through YouTube tutorials, reading art books (I’m happy to say I’ve collected at least 15 new PDF art books—still unread but full of promise!), daily sketching, journaling and reflecting. Most of my learning happens quietly, in my little art space, where I create and share my output to my social media—not for the likes or recognition, but because I believe art is meant to be shared. Just as beauty is subjective, so are the pieces I make. I’m not always sure if I’ve captured the feelings or message I intended but each piece is a part of me.


My art space has evolved over time, a reflection of who I’m becoming.  My table was a wooden one handmade by my late father—sturdy, full of character, and rich with sentiment. Every decoration around it was placed by yours truly. 




These were photos of my old art space.


 

Recently, I’ve painted some pieces I once only dreamed of creating. I’m still in awe every time I look at them—did I really paint these? They might not be at a professional level, but they’re clear evidence of my progress.

This year, I’m grateful to have met many good and kind artists who continue to inspire me to grow and improve. Thank you to my wonderful husband for his constant support and love he gave me on this journey.



1 Peter 5:10: “And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.”

The Most Important Decision You’ll Ever Make: Choosing Your Life Partner

  One day, when I have children of my own, there is one lesson I hope to teach them clearly: the partner you choose in life will be one of the most impactful decisions you will ever make. That choice can shape your happiness, your peace, your growth, and even the future of your family. Because of that, it is a decision that should never be taken lightly. Take time to truly know yourself and what you value. Create a list of your non-negotiables, the qualities that matter most to you. Pray about it and ask God for wisdom and discernment. And when the time comes, learn to say no when someone’s actions do not align with what you know is right for you. Words are easy to say, but character is revealed through actions. Choose someone who respects you, supports you, and makes you a priority. Choose someone who encourages you to grow, not someone who holds you back. Choose someone whose values, faith, and vision for life align with yours. The right partner should bring peace to your life, ...

Feminine Genius

  Pope Saint John Paul II’s Letter to Women In his groundbreaking letter to women, Pope John Paul II expressed profound gratitude to women serving many different roles in our society: Thank you, women who are mothers! You have sheltered human beings within yourselves in a unique experience of joy and travail. This experience makes you become God's own smile upon the newborn child, the one who guides your child's first steps, who helps it to grow, and who is the anchor as the child makes its way along the journey of life. Thank you, women who are wives! You irrevocably join your future to that of your husbands, in a relationship of mutual giving, at the service of love and life. Thank you, women who are daughters and women who are sisters! Into the heart of the family, and then of all society, you bring the richness of your sensitivity, your intuitiveness, your generosity and fidelity. Thank you, women who work! You are present and active in every area of life-social, economic, ...

The Soul’s Palette # 1

  It has been some time since my last post, and I would like to share a reflection on my ongoing creative journey. In pursuing my passion and striving for a deeper understanding of my creative pursuits, I have been reading art and self-development books. This practice has become a quiet yet profound source of enrichment, one for which I am forever grateful. There are times when inner thoughts feel unsettled or incomplete, lacking the clarity or expression they deserve. In those moments, reading has offered me a kind of illumination. Art books, in particular, reveal the ways artists perceive the world and contemplate life. Their words often echo within me, resonating with my own unspoken questions and guiding me toward greater clarity. Gradually, these encounters have shaped not only my understanding but also the way I see and engage with the world. I  find myself at a point in my art journey where I am seeking something deeper than self-expression, self-discovery, or even a ...
