Kristin Okhmatovski used to think she couldn’t be an artist.

“There was a point in my life where I thought I couldn’t be an artist because I wasn’t skilled at watercolour,” she says. “Then I slowly discovered there were so many other mediums you could use to create – where you could feel successful and accomplished.”

It was out of that experience that Cartizan Studio was born.

Matthew 6:14

We cannot be right with God until we are right with one another.

The power of reconciliation is stronger than revenge. It is amazing how forgiveness unloads the weapon in the other person's hand.

When you reconcile with your brother or sister, it is amazing what it does in both hearts. It is like having your nervous system flushed out. It is like getting over a long-standing fever and cleansing the corruption that has been diseasing your mind.

Titus 2:2

Teach the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled, and sound in faith, in love and in endurance.
