Hi, Kristin. I'm truly glad you like the image. It is a favorite of mine as well.
Full disclosure, however, all of the images on my Etsy shop were created using painstakingly trained text-to-image generative modeling (specifically, I use a GPT/DALL-E that built). I always include that information on my listings, so that customers who would rather not purchase AI-generated art can shop elsewhere. So, at best, one could say that I designed the images. I did not paint them, however. Just want to keep things above board.
All of that being said, I've had people from all over the world use these images in their homes, their churches, and schools, and it's been great to have conversations with them about how their faith has been enriched. I love finding ways to redemptively use technology.
Then there is the huge blessing that has come from the revenue the shop has generated, which has paid for a significant portion of the tuition for my training program to become a spiritual director (I graduate in May!). I thank God for that.
Jason!! Your art is incredible!! I had no idea you painted - my goodness, this Visitation painting!!
