Hi there! I’m Elizabeth Johnson, artist and author for the glory of God, and the creative force behind Easel+Pen. I live with my husband in the beautiful wilderness of southwest Wyoming, where we spend our days serving in church ministry and introverting together. For more fun facts about me, visit this post — and take a moment to say hi!
I’ve been writing ever since I can remember, but I didn’t find my artistic ability until my thirties. In 2016, I started hand lettering as a way to meditate on God’s truth and share the way I think with the world. In 2019, I discovered the joy of expressing more complicated perspectives and ideas through acrylic painting. Now I combine the mediums to visually express God’s truth in fresh, unique ways.
Lettering and painting has provided a wonderful way to “let the word of Christ dwell in [me] richly,” and that’s my desire for you as well. I want my art to encourage you to know God better and reflect His creativity in your own life. One way I do this is through my monthly #LetterforHisGlory challenge on Instagram. I’d love to have you join me!
In 2020, Easel+Pen was born as a way to further pursue that goal for God’s glory, by encouraging others to know God better and reflect His creativity. This is accomplished by holding to the following core values:
- Excellence: I believe that everything must be done for the glory of God alone. Therefore, I create art and conduct business with integrity, diligence, and consistency for the sake of honoring Him.
- Truth: I believe God’s Word is our supreme authority for life and practice. I exalt its truth in my work, stand firm upon its principles, and seek to encourage proper understanding of its contents.
- Encouragement: I believe my purpose as an artist is to encourage others with the truth. I generously share words and works that will uplift your soul, renew your mind, and bring a smile to your heart.
- Creativity: I believe everyone is made in the Creator’s image and possesses a measure of His creativity. I seek to nurture and develop that creative skill and ingenuity in both myself and others.
- Delight: I believe you should be thrilled with every aspect of your dealings with my business, from first contact to final product. I strive to be personable, competent, and generous with my time and energy: I do business with a smile!
